Serial history settings

This page provides an overview of the settings for the serial history views:

• Automatically download serial history for active visits: This indicates if the application automatically downloads serial history after downloading new service orders or updated service orders. The period to download serial history is defined in the next setting.
• Period to automatically download serial history data: When the previous setting is set to Yes, all history for this period is downloaded.
• Period to manually download serial history data: When the user clicks on the refresh button in the serial history view, the serial history is downloaded according to this period. The user can set this period at any value, but it is advised to set this to a longer period than the automatic download.
• Period to keep serial history data: When a visit is completed, and no other visit references the same serialized item, the serialized item history could be removed. The user could however choose to keep history for a longer time if he expects to be servicing the same serials for more than one time. The user can set this period at any value, but it is advised to set is to a longer period than the automatic download.
