The Display Order allows you to sequence the search results and display them in a specific order. In this example, the search is for work orders, phase, phase description, status, and shop. [Display Order 5] Displays the work order number first. Typically all that is needed in a search at the work order level is the work order number. To find the details of the work order scroll down to display phase data. | |
[Display Order 10] Display the phase number. [Display Order 20] Display the phase description. [Display Order 30] Display the status. Select the operator to make the search more meaningful. In this example closed, closing, incomplete, deferred, complete - pending r are excluded by changing the operator to "not in" [Display Order 40] Display the shop. Select the shop desired for the search. In this example electrical is the shop search When sequencing numbers for the display order don't enter 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. It is better to allow space between your numbers 10, 20, 30, 40, etc. in case you want to go back and modify the search by displaying another field. | |
