Optimizing a process through Quick Flow

To activate Quick Flow for a menu option in a session:

  1. Verify whether the option supports Quick Flow. Complete these steps:
    1. Start the session concerned.
    2. Open the menu that contains the menu option.
    3. If the menu option supports Quick Flow, a check box is displayed behind the option. If this check box is empty, Quick Flow is supported but has not yet been activated for this option. Proceed with the next step.
      Note: If the check box contains a flash icon, Quick Flow has already been activated for this option.
  2. Save defaults for the menu option. Complete these steps:
    1. Select the menu option. The corresponding dialog box is displayed.
    2. Specify your default settings in the dialog box.
    3. Click the gear icon in the dialog box and select Save Defaults.
    4. Close the dialog box.
  3. Open the menu that contains the menu option again. Select the check box behind the menu option. A flash icon is displayed in the check box. Quick flow is now active for the menu option.
  4. Test the result. Complete these steps:
    1. Select one or more records in the session's grid.
    2. Select the menu option for which you activated Quick Flow. The corresponding settings dialog box is skipped.

Example

The Print menu in the Adjustment Orders (whinh5120m000) session contains the Adjustment Orders option. When you select this option, the Print Adjustment Orders (whinh5420m000) session starts. This session has multiple tabs, where you must select a device and specify selection ranges and various options for the report. You want to use Quick Flow to skip these tabs, so that the report is printed directly.

To suppress the tabs of the Print Adjustment Orders (whinh5420m000) session, you complete these steps:

  1. Start the Adjustment Orders (whinh5120m000) session.
  2. Open the session's Print menu. To do so, complete one of these steps:
    • If a down arrow is displayed next to the Print button in the toolbar, click this down arrow.
    • If no down arrow is displayed, select Actions > Print.

    An empty check box is displayed behind the Adjustment Orders option. This indicates that Quick Flow is supported but has not yet been activated for this option.

  3. Select the Adjustment Orders option in the Print menu. The Print Adjustment Orders (whinh5420m000) session starts. In this session, complete these steps:
    1. On the session's Device and Options tabs, specify your default settings.
    2. Click the gear icon in the session's toolbar.
    3. Select Save Defaults.
    4. Close the Print Adjustment Orders (whinh5420m000) session.
  4. Return to the Adjustment Orders (whinh5120m000) session.
  5. Open the session's Print menu again and select the check box behind the Adjustment Orders option. A flash icon is displayed in the check box. Quick flow is now active for the Adjustment Orders option.
  6. Select one or more records in the Adjustment Orders (whinh5120m000) session's grid and, on the Print menu, select Adjustment Orders. The Adjustment Orders report is printed directly.
