Job User Field Selections
Previous Topic  Next Topic 

Job User Field Selections are used to define search criteria for the job user fields that you have defined in DMS.   To access job user field selections, select Selections | User Fields.  Note that if you have made selections the button will toggle to the On.


After clicking on the Job User Field Selections, the following window will appear:



If you have previously made selection from this window and you have not cleared the selections using the Clear Selections button in Manufacturing Orders or the Clear on in the window above, then the previous selections will be displayed in the window.


The following entries can be made:


  1. Job user field to search  Enter the job user field you want to search on or select the user field from the drop down menu. 
  2. Text or range from/to  If the job user field is a text type field, enter the text from and text to fields to search for.  You can enter text into just the "from" field if you do not want to search on a range of text.  Wildcards can be used.
  3. Date or range from/to  If the job user field is a date type field, enter the date from and date to fields to search.  You can enter a date into just the "from" field if you do not want to search on a range of dates. 
  4. Lookup item or range  If the job user field is a lookup type field, enter the lookup item from field and lookup item to field to search.  You can enter a lookup item into just the "from" field if you do not want to search on a range of lookup items. 
  5. Logical operation type  Two or more user fields can be joined using the logical operators AND and OR. The default logical operator is AND.  Please note that parenthesis around the logical statements is not available and thus the precedence of logical operators is from left to right.  If you use both AND and OR operators in the same search different results may occur than what you expect.  Logical operators combine relations according to the following rules:
    1. AND Both user field selections must be true for the expression to be true.
    2. OR If either user field selections is true, the expression is true.
  6. To add the entered selection, click on the Add Search button and the search selection will be added to the list box at the lower part of the screen.  To remove a selection, highlight the search selection in the list box you want to remove and click the Remove Line button or double click on the selection to be removed. When you remove a selection DMS will confirm the remove.  Click OK to verify the delete line or click Cancel.


In order for the search to be applied, you must click on the Search button.


If you click on the Clear button, all job user field selections will be cleared.
