Main Grids menu options

Top  Previous  Next

When you exit out of the AyaNova program, AyaNova will  “remember” the grid settings of any screens viewed.

 

For example, if you have filtered the Scheduled Users grid in the Service navigation pane to show only those workorder items that are scheduled for yourself, when you next log in to AyaNova, the way you had the grids and screen sizes will be saved from the last time you modified them.

 

The main grids in AyaNova have menu options available just overtop of the grid displaying such as this menu bar over the Scheduled Users grid in the Service navigation pane.

 

MainGridMenu1

 

MainGridMenu2

 

These include the Print selection, the New... selection to create a new grid object, the maximum number of records to display in the grid, the Filter Drop List, and the Refresh button.

 

Print

Selecting the Print icon menu option from a main grid allows selection of a report template to print the displaying data for that grid.

 

For example, if you were viewing the Service Workorders grid, and you had filtered to show only service workorders that are set to Service Completed, than only those workorders displaying in the grid would print their data on any report you select.

 

Do note you may or may not display the same reports shown in screenshots in this manual. Additional sample report templates can be downloaded from the AyaNova Support Forum http://forum.ayanova.com , or you may customize your own, and/or may contract a consultant to create specialty report templates.

 

MenuGridPrint

 

New summary report and New detailed report are selected to create new custom reports from scratch. The New summary report provides access to all fields displaying in the grid, whereas if a New detailed report is displayed, additional fields not displaying in the grid may also be available for selection in a custom report template.

New…

This menu option is to be selected to create a new object for that grid you are presently viewing.

 

For example:

 

To create a new service workorder, view the Service Workorders navigation pane grid and select the menu option New… which will begin the process of creating a new service workorder. Additional details in this manuals section “Service Workorders”

 

MenuNew1

 

 

To create a new client, view the Clients navigation pane grid and select the menu option New… which will open an empty client entry screen. Additional details in the manuals section “Clients”

 

MenuNew2

 

 

Refresh...

This is to refresh the grid to display recently entered data. AyaNova will automatically refresh all main grids approximately every 5 minutes but use this if you want to refresh in between.

 

Maximum number of records to display

By default the grid will display up to a maximum of 100 records regardless of the total number of records the grid would display based on the sort order and filters used.

 

For example, lets say you are viewing the Service Workorders grid even if you had entered 600 workorders, by default only the first 100 based on the sort order and filter of the grid would display.

 

This is to maximize speed to display the grid.

 

If you want to see all records, regardless of the time it takes to display, than drop down and select All Records or if you want to see the first 500 that meet the sort and filter order, select 500 Records etc.

 

Filter Drop List

 

The Filter Drop List is where you can select to use no filter, or select a previously saved filter, or save a filter just created.

 

It is suggested that you save the filters you most likely use on a regular basis as than it is just a selection from the Filter Drop List instead of having to filter the individual columns
