Figure 13‒3: Names of window components

Simple search condition

To specify a group or location as a search condition or to specify registration and update values, simply select the corresponding group and location on the tree.

Use the tabs to switch between groups and locations.

The displayed group and location depend on the user role. For details about the access permission settings by user role, see 5.1.3 Assigning access permissions according to organizational hierarchy.

Also, if divisions are assigned to the login user, Divisions will be displayed when the Group tab is selected. Note that the assigned division names and division group names will be displayed for Divisions. Selecting a division name and group name from this tree enables you to specify group search conditions and values to be registered.

For details about how to configure settings for Divisions, see 16.1.6 Viewing and editing divisions. For details about selecting a division to use as a search condition or a value to be registered, see 13.6 Job menus that can be used to specify divisions as search conditions and values to be registered.

Display line

You can change the number of lines displayed in a page of search results by specifying the number of lines in the display lines input area and then clicking the Search button. You can specify a number from 1 to 1,000 for the number of lines; this setting is valid only for the specified window. The default number is 200.

To hide the display lines input area and display the same number of lines uniformly on all windows, specify the information in Basic information in the Server Setup dialog box. For details about how to hide the display lines input area, see 7.3.4(4) Show number column.

Calendar

Use the calendar to specify a date. Click the button to display the calendar.

The following figure shows how to use the calendar to specify a date.

Search condition

Displays the conditions for searching for asset information according to the selected job.

You can change the values to be specified in the search conditions according to the operation mode of the asset management system. You can also change the search conditions that can be specified depending on the user role. For details about each update method, see 11.2 Changing managed items (Customize Managed Items) or 11.3 Changing a window for a user role (Customize Job Windows).

Job menu

Enables you to select the work you wish to perform.

When you select a job menu in the tree, the corresponding window is displayed in the right-hand frame.

As is the case with simple search conditions, the displayed job menus depend on the user role.

You can also select the job menus to be displayed according to the operation mode of the asset management system. For details about how to view or hide job menus, see 11.4 Changing the executable jobs (Customize Job Menu).

Page transition

If the search results span multiple pages, click a link to display another page.

Each time you click a link, a different page is displayed.

• >

  Displays the next page.

• <

  Displays the previous page.

• >>

  Displays the last page.

• <<

  Displays the first page.

In the input area, you can also specify the page number of the page that you want to display. Clicking the Show button displays the specified page.

Search results list

Displays a list of asset information that satisfies the specified search condition. The search results contain only the asset information that can be processed by the user who is currently logged in.

You can select an item from these search results to perform further processing, such as viewing or editing details.

When an item title displays a down-pointing triangle () or up-pointing triangle (), clicking the title sorts the list in descending or ascending order respectively.

Message display area

Displays a message indicating the progress of processing.

Buttons

The window operation buttons are described next:

• CSV button

  Downloads as a CSV file the search results list, summary results list, or other list information displayed in the window.

• PDF button

  Outputs ( in PDF format) the search results list, summary results list, or other list information displayed in a window. For example, in the Device List window, asset number bar codes can be output. To output search results in PDF format, you must link with EUR.

For details about the required setup method for using the PDF button, see 7.3 Setting up the asset management server.
