Functiona Overview
Client Requirement
Tracking Screen v2.55 - Retain the date Range Filter when performing searches.
When carrying out a search using the drop-down options the Filters disappear off screen. Amend the screen so that the Filters remain in all cases as a combined Search/Filter facility. This change is required as several sites use repeated customer refs.
Added by SS 02/10/08 - When entering data into search option pre populated date range would be removed, however user would still be able to add dates back into the date field to execute a search .
More specific searches e.g. Stock movements with a common reference over a date range to be POD'd
Linked to MTS - PA - 7FZBNZ - Also ref TID 3217
Solution
The TRACKING screen will be amended so that the filter options will always be displayed on the screen. When a user runs a search by clicking the ‘Refresh’ button, data will be returned according to the filters combined with any data specified in the Search field and Search By drop down list.
If nothing is specified in the search field or in the filters then the data returned will be based on the ‘From Date’ and ‘To Date’ only.
As requested, when a user enters data in the search field the dates in the ‘From Date’ and ‘To Date’ fields will be cleared, and all data will be searched. The user will still have the option of entering dates into these fields to limit the search to a specific date range. However, note that entering dates should be done after entering data in the search field, because if a user specifies a date range and then enters data into the search field then the date range will be cleared out due to the newly requested functionality to remove the dates when entering data into the Search field.
Currently, when the Search By field is used, all Trips except those in a status of PLANNED are searched and returned. When the Filter options are used, only Trips in status of ACCEPTED, EN-ROUTE or COMPLETED are searched and returned. The new combined functionality of Search By and Filters will query all trips, except those in a status of PLANNED.
The Change Request Evaluation is 0.5 days to also cover the initial investigation of the changes for this RIO, when looking into TID 3217 on the Test Incident Database.
Scope
This change will be applied to system version 10.6 on CONTST and once approved CONPRD. This was requested by Consumer Networks, but as this is an improvement to current functionality, it will be released over time to all contracts.

Functional Description
Sample Layout
Below is a screenshot of how the current Search By and Filter options in the TRACKING are presented. This is v2.56 taken from CONTST, as developed according to RIO PA-7FZBNZ.
Currently, when the user types anything into the Search By field, the filters are coded to disappear, so the user can only use the Search option or the filter. This is how the screen displays when the filters are removed:
The screen will be amended so the filter options are always available and that they can be combined with the Search By option. Below is an example of how the screen will display when the user enters text into the Search By field, and the filter does not disappear. Also note that when a user does enter text into this field, the Date Range will be cleared so that all data is searched without restriction, as shown below:
Coding Amendments
Currently, the WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger on the Search By field ‘fires’ when the user clicks into or enters data into this field. The current code within this is used to make the filters disappear.
The code will be amended and used to clear out the date range when a user enters data into this field.
When the user clicks the ‘Refresh’ button, this calls procedure F_REFRESH_STOP_LIST, which displays trips in the bottom section of the screen, according to the filters or using the Search By. This procedure will be amended to combine both search and filter options.
