3.3.1 Displaying the details of an Item

The details of an Item that is registered in JP1/Service Support can be checked in the View Item window or the Item preview area of the main window (Item list). For example, you might want to see the details of an Item in the following cases: when you need to examine an old Item for resolving the Item that you are in charge of, and when you need to check the detailed work status of the person in charge of an Item.

The following figure shows the View Item window.

The properties displayed in the window differ depending on the process. The user can customize the properties to be displayed in the window.

If the Item is being edited by another user, the header Currently-editing user is added, and the name of that user is displayed.

The following describes the operations that can be performed in the View Item window:

Editing an Item:

You can edit the Item that is displayed. To do this, from the Action menu, select Edit item to open the Edit item window. The Edit item command is unavailable if the displayed Item is a stored Item.

Canceling the changes:

You can cancel the changes to the Item that you are editing. To do this, from the Action menu, select Cancel edit to open the dialog box that asks you whether you really want to cancel the changes to the Item. In this dialog box, if you click the OK button, the changes are canceled. The Cancel edit command is unavailable if the displayed Item is a stored Item.

Recalling an Item:

You can recall the Item that is displayed (that is, restore the current status and person in charge of the Item to those set before transition). From the Action menu, choose Recall item. A dialog box appears to ask whether you are sure that you want to recall the Item. To recall the Item, click the OK button. Note, however, that, if the displayed Item is a stored Item, the Recall item command is unavailable. Note also that the Action menu shows Recall item only when use of the Item recalling function is specified in the process work board.

Inheriting content to create an Item:

You can create a new Item based on the Item information of an existing item displayed in the View Item window. To do this, from the New menu, select Inherit Content to Create an Item to open the Specify the registration target window. When you select a process and click OK, a New item window appears containing the Item information of the Item selected in the View Item window. You can then use this information as the basis for a new Item to be created in the process you selected in the initial window.

You cannot perform this operation if you opened the View Item window from the History display window.
