The following describes the operations that can be performed on the list of Items:

[Figure]: Filtering Items

You can filter the items to be displayed. The filter conditions are as follows:

  • My item

    Only Items that you are in charge of are displayed. The displayed Items include the Items whose Person in charge is set to the role that you belong to.

  • Item in progress

    Only unprocessed Items are displayed. Unprocessed Items here refer to Items whose default status is not Close and whose process work board is in the Operating state.

  • Range of the Item Management window

    This filter condition appears in environments with the Item Management window function enabled. When you select this filter condition, the "Range of the Item Management window" window appears in which you can move the time frame for which the Item Management window displays Items. After you move the Item Management window, the system only displays events that were registered within the new time frame. For details on the Item Management window function, see 3.2.3 Item Management window function.

[Figure]: Turning the page

You can change the page that displays Items. The list of Items can display only a maximum of 50 Items concurrently. If the number of Items to be displayed exceeds 50, use this function to change the page of the list. The numbers displayed on the above button (51-100/134) is an example. These numbers mean that the current page displays Items 51 to 100 of the 134 Items that are registered. Note that the upper limit on the number that can be displayed as the total number of Items is 10,000. If 10,001 or more Items are registered, numbers are displayed on the button in the 1-50/10000+ format.

[Figure]: Sorting Items

You can re-sort the list of Items based on a list column (other than I, P, C, and R) by clicking the column header. For the column that is currently used as the sort key, [Figure] (ascending order) or [Figure] (descending order) is displayed. By default, the list is sorted by registration date and time in ascending order.

You can also click the [Figure] column to sort the list by editing status icon. Items are sorted in the following order:

If [Figure] is displayed:
  1. Items that are not being edited

  2. Items currently being edited

  3. Items that cannot be edited (stored Items)#

If [Figure] is displayed:
  1. Items that cannot be edited (stored Items)#

  2. Items currently being edited

  3. Items that are not being edited

Items that cannot be edited (stored Items) only appear in systems that use JP1/IM - Service Support Advanced Edition.
