Scroll Orders
The Find Orders window allows you to look up orders based on specific restrictions. The system retrieves orders that match all restrictions entered on all tabs, not just those restrictions set on the tab currently in view. To delete any restrictions that you have set on all tabs, click the New Search button.
Restrictions can be set on any of the Find Orders tabs:
-
Company
-
Asset
-
Reference
-
Regions
-
Schedule
Note: This tab is visible only if the Order Scheduler is active.
Using the Link From Dates check box
The Link From Dates check box is not a restriction. If the check box is selected (the default), when you enter the first date in the Start From date range, that date is automatically copied as the first date in the Delivery From date range, and vice versa. If the check box is not selected, the initial date you enter for one date range is not automatically copied as the initial date for the other date range.
The Link From Dates check box is universal, meaning it applies to all tabs that contain Start From and To date fields. |
Setting a default beginning date for the date range
By default, the system uses the date that is 30 days prior to the current system date as the beginning of the Start From and Delivery From date ranges. You can add an entry to your TTS50 file that allows you to tell the system how far back from the current date you want the Start From and Delivery From dates to be.
Use the [Misc]OrderScrollDaysBack
setting to specify the number of days you want the From dates set back, such as 30, 60, or 90. You can also have the system use the TMWSuite genesis date, 01/01/50, by entering BeginningOfTime
after the equal sign.
Setting the maximum number of days allowed in a search
In the Company or Asset tab of the Find Orders window, you can use the Start From/To and/or Delivery From/To fields to search for orders from a specified date range.
You can use the [Misc]MaxOrderScrollDays
setting to limit the number of days in the date range. The [Misc]MaxOrderScrollExceededAction
setting specifies how the system will respond when the date range exceeds the limit. The system will do one of the following:
-
Complete the search without notifying you that you exceeded the limit.
-
Notify you that you exceeded the limit and prevent you from completing the search.
-
Notify you that you exceeded the limit but allow you to complete the search.
Displaying all Find Orders filtering criteria on one tab
By default, the criteria in the Find Orders window appears on the Company, Asset, Reference, and Region tabs.
When you use [Misc]ScrollOrdersMasterCriteriaOnly=Yes
, all the filters from the Company, Asset, Reference, and Regions tabs are consolidated on the All Criteria tab. The information about the consolidated, scrollable list is grouped in the order used when the four tabs are displayed separately. Use the scroll bar on the right to view all the filters.
Saving changes to the size and location of the Find Orders window
In your TTS50, add the [Misc]ScrollWinSizeandLocationToRegistry=Yes
setting to have the system save your changes to the size and location of the Find Orders window. After you display the Find Orders window, you can make the window larger or smaller, or you can move the window to another location on your screen.
-
To resize the window, hold the cursor over the corner or along the edge of the window. When the double-pointed arrow appears, click the left mouse button and resize the window as needed.

To move the window, click the cursor in the window’s title bar and drag it to the desired location.
