Visibility
On initial entry into the page, the user can choose between the dashboard (by clicking the Apply Button in the Visibility Settings, or can search for specific data by clicking the Search icon in the lower left of the page.
Customer Visibility Settings
The visibility settings will initially be presented to the user:
Note: The initial values for the above parameters will be taken from the maintenance settings against the owner, if only a single owner is available to the user or a single owner is in the current Order List, else from the default settings against the page. Changes to these parameters will be kept for the users session, but will be restored back to the defaults on each login (or change of owner status).
Owner - If 'Owner' is selected from the 'Apply' then the values set against the selected owner will be used.
Customer Group - If available, will allow the user to select the Customer Group.
Delivery Window Before/After - Defines the RAG status of undelivered orders. The two values (before and after) define the range for the Amber orders. For example, setting the values to 15 mins and 30 mins as above, means that until the planned arrival date of an order is within 15 minutes - the "before" setting - of the current time, it will be shown as RAG status green. Once it is within 15 minutes of its planned arrival, on the next data refresh, it will be changed to RAG status amber. Once the planned time is exceeded by more than 30 minutes - the "after" setting - and the order remains undelivered, then the RAG status will be red.
Keep Delayed For - this will determine how long planned, but undelivered orders will remain on the page after the planned delivery time has elapsed. Setting the value to "Today" will keep undelivered orders on the page for the whole day.
Show …: - The values in these dropdowns determine the visibility of the relevant order status to the drop-down e.g. Part-Delivered will allow the user to determine how long part-delivered orders will remain on the page after the actual delivery time. Setting the value to "Today" will keep undelivered orders on the page for the whole day. Setting the value to "None" will remove the orders immediately on the next page refresh.
Apply Details
Current - Will use the values as set above.
System - Will use the values set against the system.
Owner - Will use the values set against the selected owner in the drop-down, or the system values if no owner is selected.
Note: Selecting System or Owner will ignore any values manually set.
Apply Button - Will refresh the order list based on the selected 'Apply' Details settings and the current filters.
Customer Visibility Search
The Search Icon will open a Search Panel to allow the user to find specific data.
- Owner - A drop-down list of owners available to the user. Defaults to 'All'.
Order Number - Entering an order number (or partial order number) or list of orders will display the Order List if multiple orders are retrieved, or will take the user to the Order/Route details page if a single order is retrieved. To enter an order number, an owner must be selected. Note: A list of orders may be entered by separating the orders with a comma - in this case, partial matching will not be made, and an exact match will be retrieved for all of the orders in the comma separated list. For example, entering "MON" will find any order which contains the letters "MON". Entering "123,124,125" will find only orders "123", "124" and "125".
Booking Ref. - as above, but filtering on the Customer's booking reference. To enter a booking reference, an owner must be selected.
From Location - filters by From Location (no partial retrieval).
Delivery Point - filters by Delivery Point (no partial retrieval).
Customer - filters by the specific Customer (no partial retrieval) or list of customers.
Customer Group - a drop-down list of defined customer groups, defaulting to All/Any. To enter a customer group, an owner must first be selected. Note: This will only be available if customer groups are configured for the user.
Route ID - as with order number, but filtering on the Route ID.
Haulier - filters the Order List by the specific haulier (no partial retrieval) or list of hauliers.
Vehicle - filters by Vehicle ID. Only available if system is configured for Vehicles.
Delivery Date - Will have a drop-down list with the following values:
Yesterday
Today (default)
This Week - defined by the start/end day maintained parameters
This Month - based on the calendar month
Last 10 Days
Last 30 Days
Custom - this will then display a date range to allow the entry of a custom date range (though this will be limited to a maximum range of 31 days)
Export - Can be used to export the data in addition to displaying the data on the page.
Note: All searches will be limited within the users Restrictions i.e. the orders they can view will be limited within the restrictions set against the users group first, then within any of the filters applied.
Clicking on the Find button will execute the search. If only a route code was entered, then the user will be taken to the route page, otherwise the search will return the filtered Order List, or take the user into the Order/Route details page if a single order is retrieved.
Clicking on the Clear button will remove all of the current filters and re-run the Order List based on the defaults.
Customer Visibility Main Page
Side Panel
The Side Panel Order Summary displays a count - and where applicable a percentage - of the currently order selection (the 'Order List') broken down into various status:
- Order Count - A count of the number of orders displayed in the Order List.
Note: Clicking on this line will reset any of the filters from the below lines.
- RAG Order Status - this section will have colour coded lines for Outstanding, Arrived, Delivered (Clean), Part Delivered i.e. quantity exception, Failed i.e. 0 quantity delivered and Cancelled with the total number of orders for that type and the percentage against the total number of orders.

CRM where the 'Action With' is the CUSTOMER.
CRM <Client> - this will filter the selection to orders where the order has an open
CRM where the 'Action With' is the <Client>.
No percentage values will be calculated for the CRM columns. If an order has multiple CRM's it is possible an order can appear in both the Customer and <Client> filters.
The Side Panel may be hidden / displayed by clicking on "Show/Hide Slide Panel" at the base of the page.

The order list displays details of the selected orders, allowing the order to click on certain fields for more details, and then to click to drill down to the detail pages. A typical display of fields is as follows:
But the fields available may vary per system.
The user can click on any of the headings to sort (ascending/descending) on that column (Tip: You can also hold the shift key and click multiple columns to sort on the first then subsequent columns)
Most of the fields have a 'filter' available - either a drop-down list of the values within the Order List data or a free text box which allows partial / pattern matching searches for the current Order List data.

Clicking on 'Details' will take the user into the detail pages.

Late orders will be flagged Red, Early orders Green and On-Time orders will be flagged Blue.

The definition of the quantity status will be based on the side panel settings and the status of the order along with the planned vs actual delivered quantities.
- Owner - the owner of the order. This column will only be displayed if there are multiple owners within the Order List.
- POD - Will display a document
icon to indicate a POD is available to view from the system. Clicking on the icon will open the POD document in a new tab.

- TLC - An indicator against the order to highlight important customers orders.
- Cases - The total quantity of cases ordered on the order (for detail type 'S' lines)

If CRM functionality is enabled:
CSRC - will display the Customer Services reason code if one has been assigned to the order.
CRM - will display if an order has any CRM's associated with it. The figures displayed in the column will vary depending on the CRM status of the order:
If no CRM's exist for the order, the column will be blank
If CRM's exist, but are all resolved, only the total number of CRM's for the order will be displayed
If CRM's exist, and the Action is with the relevant user i.e. CLIENT or CUSTOMER the column will display the number of OPEN CRM's where the 'Action With' is against the current user followed by the TOTAL number of CRM's against the order i.e. all open and resolved. For example, if an order had 2 CRM's - one open with the Client and one closed, a Client user would see "1 of 2" whilst a Customer would see "2".
