1 Flexible view of the selection result at/in Processing Volume and Selections

Up to now the columns (data fields) of the selection result at the Processing Volume and the Selections were given and couldn’t be changed.

In the future each user will be able to define and save the view of the chosen columns and their sequence. Each user will be able to save several views and choose one of them based on the especific use case. Attention: The following description is based on the function Processing Volume. The described functions are identical for the fuction “Selections”.



1.1 Administration of the selection views

On the left navigation bar you can find under „Administration“ the new function „Selection views“.

By selecting this function you will get to the summary/ overview of the selection views. Now you have to choose first for which type of function you want to administrate the views (Processing volume or Selections). Clicking on the black triangle a new window will open where you can choose between the functions SDISP = Processing Volume or SPROD = Selections.



By clicking on the „Refresh“ button all the already provided views will be shown.

Generally two kind views can be distinguished: Central views: These views will be provided centrally and can’t be amended by the user. However the user can select these views and use them as a copy master for user specific views. User specific views: Here you will find the individually created views of a user. Each user can create his own user specific views or amend/ copy/ delete them. By selecting the respective radio button you can switch between the central and the user specific views.

By opening the context menu (right mouse click) you can select between different functions. Those will be described in the next chapters.



1.2 View „New“ (Ctrl+N)

By selecting this function a completely new view can be created.

Select „New“ in the context menu and the editing dialog will appear.



The editing dialog is mainly divided into 3 areas. Main data Now please enter the name of the new view. Additional general informations regarding the new view will be shown e.g. User-ID etc.

Selectable fields On the left chart you find all the fields which are selectable for the selection result. The first column shows the field names, the second column the related field groups. The relation of the field names to the field groups is based on the registers in the order display, meaning that a field which is located in the order display on the register “Technics” is here also related to the Field group “Technics”.

The field name is adapted to the length of the field content. Therefore it can happen that the field name becomes very short and sometimes not even understandable. If you go with the mouse cursor on the respective field name (Mouseover) the complete term will be shown in a respective “Tooltip”.



By default the fields are sorted by field groups. Alternatively it is possible to sort them also by field name by clicking on the respective column headline.

Furthermore you can limit the fields also to particular field groups or search a specific field.



Fields of the selection view On the right chart you can find the fields which were selected for the selection view. When you create a new selection view this area is completely empty.

1.2.1 Relating fields to a view

In order to relate fields to a view the user must select the respective fields from the left chart „Selectable Fields“ by clicking on the checkboxes. It is possible to choose one or several fields at the same time.

If necessary additional fields can be added afterwards.

By default the fields get added at the end. However it is also possible to insert the fields at a specific position.
