Overview windows

Overview windows display a list of records together with the most important attributes. For example, the Products overview window displays all products and key attributes. You can select alternative overview windows for orders and process batches.

You can re-size the overview windows for process batches, tank batches and orders. The next time you open one of these overview windows, the window is displayed based on the size you have previously defined.

You can access up to 40 Process Batches, Tank Batches, and Orders overview windows:

• To open a new window with a selection of batches, select batches in the planning board, press the Ctrl + I keys or select the Process Batches, Tank Batches, or Orders menu item.
• To open a new window with a selection of batches or orders, you must select batches or orders in an overview window of batches or orders. Press the Ctrl + I or Ctrl + O keys or select the Process Batches, Tank Batches, or Orders menu item.
• You can bring to the front a window that is already open without modifying the contents. If no window is displayed, you can open a new window without any selection. Click in a free area in the planning board to undo the previous selection. Press the Ctrl + I or Ctrl + O keys or select the Process Batches, Tank Batches, or Orders menu item.
• To open a new window, select the Process Batches, Tank Batches, or Orders menu item while pressing and holding the Shift key.

In the Process Batches and Orders overview windows, the total quantity and duration for the selected batches or orders are displayed. If no batch or order is selected, then the total quantity and duration are displayed for all the batches or orders.

This table shows the options displayed on overview windows:

Option	Description
	The Delete option is used to delete records. A confirmation message is displayed and a check is performed whether the deletion affects other parts of the model. For example, in the case of resource groups, a check is performed to ensure whether it is required by a process step.
	The New option is used to create a new record. You are required to specify a unique code or name. The relevant entry window is displayed and you can specify the rest of the data. Once the code is created, you cannot change the code. You can duplicate the original record and delete the original.
	The Duplicate option is used to duplicate an existing record and modify the duplication. This saves you from specifying similar data again.
	The Rename option is used to modify the code of the record, if this option is available in an overview window.
	The Layout option enables you to customize the overview window.
	The Search option is used to search for a set of records in the overview. If records are selected in the overview window, press and hold the Alt key while selecting the Search option as this reduces the list of displayed records to the selected records. To view all records, press and hold the Ctrl and Shift key while pressing the Search option; alternatively, select ALL from the Search list.
