customizing the work order list
For ease of use, the work order list can be partially customized in two ways:| · | The work order list can be restricted to show only certain work orders.
|
| · | The type of work order information displayed is selectable.
|
Selecting the Type of Information Displayed:
The work order list has two columns. The first column displays the work order name, or product name depending on the user preferences selected. The second column displays any of the following based upon your selection:
| · | Job Name
|
| · | product name
|
| · | tool name
|
| · | material formula
|
| · | required by date
|
| · | Free text 1, 2, 3 or 4
|
| · | Comment
|
To select what to display in the second column, click on the list box to the right of the work order list. Highlight your selection by clicking with the mouse.
Customizing The Work Order List:
The work order list can be filtered, providing a way to limit what is displayed. For example, if only work orders for a specific product are desired, a filtering mechanism enables you to specify which product.
To list specific work orders:
| · | Click on the list box to the right of the work order list.
|
| · | Move your cursor down the selection list to the desired filter item. Click again.
|
| · | Move your cursor down to the text field located directly below the list box.
|
| · | Type in the desired search criteria. Press the ENTER key.
|
NOTE: How the search is performed depends upon the searching method defined on the User Preference window. Searching methods can be left matching, embedded matching, exact matching, and case sensitive. If left matching has been designated on the User Preference window, then entering the word 'poly' (if material formula was chosen as the search criteria) would find work orders that use 'polypropylene' and 'polyurethane'. If embedded matching is designated, then entering the word '285' would find work orders using 'polyurethane 285 Black' and 'Acrylic V285-100 Clear'. Exact matching means that searching for 'polypropylene' would only find work orders that are using 'polypropylene'.
