5 Search Screen – Filters

One a menu item is selected, the Search Screen will display. This screen offers many functions, including
viewing and editing existing records, creating new records, recent items, and more.
This screen is divided into five sections:
1. Home Button – Selecting the Home button will return you to the Home Screen

5. Recent Items- the last 10 items you searched for will appear here. (Items currently on you favorites list
will be noted with a yellow star.)
14

5.1 Filter Options


When using a module with the new filters for the first time, the filter layout may be empty or have a system -
defined filter that does not suit your requirements. It is recommended that you create (save) your own filer
options, if the user has appropriate permissions, these preferred filters may be published for your company or
all companies using the database.

Adding a Filter Strip


To add a new filter, simply click the drop-down list next to the <select something to filter by > field. The list of
available filters will display; mouse-click to choose a filter. Alternatively, you can type in the filter’s name. The
new filter adds to the filter screen.

To add a second filter, simply click the button to add a new filter strip and repeat the process outlined
above to add as many or as few filters as is needed.

Deleting a Filter Strip

To delete a filter, click the button to the right of the filter that you want to delete. This will remove the
filter from the screen.
15

Saving a Filter Layout as a Favorite


After building a selection of filters,
you can save the layout for re-use.
To do this, click the button.
You will then be prompted with a
dialog where you can type in the
filter name. The filter name cannot
be longer than 20 characters. Upon
clicking Save Layout, the filter is
now saved and the filter’s name will
appear on the Find button (because
it is the currently selected filter
layout).
The filter layouts are not automatically saved.

Publishing this Layout for All Users/Across all companies


Not all users will have access to this function – if granted, it will allow your search to be saved for all users
and/or across all companies.

Saving Columns within Filters


When saving a filter-layout, CargoWise One can associate the column layout with the saved filter-layout. This
means that the columns will be remembered when changing between saved filter-layouts. To enable this
feature for a new filter-layout, check the Save columns with this filter layout checkbox when saving your filter-
layout.

How to Enable Column-Saving for Existing Filter Layouts


To turn this feature on or off your existing filter-layouts, use the Layouts Manager screen:
16

Selecting or Loading a Pre-Saved Filter Layout


Each filter layout you save will be added to the find button’s dropdowns
list of available filters. You can view your available filters by clicking the
small arrow next to the find button. Click on the filter that you wish to
load/select to load the filters.

Other users may create filter layouts for you – be sure


to look for them!

Resetting a Filter Layout


Clicking the Reset filter button will reset the current filter layout and remove all filter strips.

The Reset will not delete any saved filter layouts and is generally used when you want to start fresh
and create a new filter layout.

Clearing a Filter’s Search Criteria


Clicking the Clear button will clear all search criteria. It will not remove any of the actual filter strips – it will
only clear out the search data. This is used when you want to search using the current filter layout, and want to
enter new search criteria.
17

Save columns with this filter layout


Saves the columns with the selected filter layout.
Filter layouts marked with the set of keys icon have been published to all users by an administrator and can
only be renamed or deleted by an administrator.
Changes made via the layouts manager are not saved until you click the Save button. Clicking cancel at any
time allows you to reverse your changes.

Locating Records
To locate an existing record(s):
• Enter filter information in the filter fields
• Mouse click on the Find button.
• A list of records that match the filter information will be displayed.

Clearing Entered Filters


To remove information entered in all filter fields, click on the Clear button. It is
recommended users perform this action each time they conduct a search on a new page
(to avoid searching against previously used or wrong criteria).

Textual Operators
The ‘Starts With’, ‘Contains’, ‘Exact’,
‘Not equal’, ‘Not Starting’ ‘Not
Contain’, ‘Is Blank’ and ‘Is Not
Blank’ drop-down list is included
on many of the search screens. The
Starts With option will be select
checked by default.
Partial information can be entered
when adding filter information
such as a house bill number or job
number. Click to select the appropriate search criteria.
18

Filter Description

Exact Search for an exact match

Starts With Search for fields that start with the supplied text.

Contains Search for fields that contain the supplied text

Not Equal Searches for fields where the value is not equivalent to the supplied
text.

Not Starting Searches for fields that do not start with the supplied text.

Not Contain Search for fields that do not contain the supplied text.

Is Blank Search for fields that are blank

Is not Blank Search for fields that are not blank

“Blue” filter items


Some modules implement a single filter
that, when used, will override (effectively
ignoring) all other search criteria. This filter
is highlighted in blue and bolded to
signify such behavior.

Search Numbers
The number of existing records matching your search filter information is displayed at the top of the grid. The
maximum number of records that will be displayed is 1000.
If your search returns a greater number of records (more than 1000), an error message displays indicating
additional search criteria is needed.
If this message is displayed, enter additional filter information to enable a more specific search that will return
a lower number of records.
19

If you search does not locate any records the following is displayed.

Slow Searches/Contains
Depending on how your administrator sets up your
system, you may receive a pop-up asking if you would
like to proceed should you create a “contains” search –
while these are extremely useful, they may slow down
your system.
20

5.2 Filter Category Groups


Individual field filters can be grouped together into a Filter Category Group so every field filter in this group is
applied to the search results using OR condition. To do this you can use a Color Category to group filters
together.

Adding Filters to a Filter Category


To best explain this, we will look at the following example using Shipment filters. Using filters we want to find
all shipments with:
• A Load Port in the US, and
• The transport mode is either AIR or SEA
To create filter groups:
Add the required filters

As it is, this filter layout will not return any shipments because the filter says that the transport mode is AIR,
and the transport mode is SEA (a shipment can of course have only one transport mode). Therefore without
any groups, the filter currently does this:
• Return shipment if Load Port = US and Transport Mode = Air and Transport Mode = Sea
21

To fix this, indicate that the transport mode can be either AIR or SEA by assigning the transport mode filters a
Filter Category Group. Click the arrow next to each transport mode filter and select the same group
(color) for both transport mode filters (any group will do):

In the example above, we chose the red category for both:


After repeating this step for the second transport mode filter, both filters are in this example now grouped into
the red category. This is denoted by the red color strip behind the filters

Any color will do, but both filters must be the SAME COLOR in order for the “or” functionality
to work.

Grouping the transport modes together has the effect of changing the filter:
The filter layout with the grouping will now find any shipment where the Load Port is in the US and the
Transport Mode is either AIR or SEA

After creating your filter layout and choosing your groups, save the filter layout as per usual (Save Layout
button) and CargoWise One will remember which groups you selected the next time the filter layout is loaded.

5.3 Search Screen - Grids


Customize Columns
The columns displayed on any grid in CargoWise One may be
customized. This includes the grids on the search screens and
within any menu item.
Customizing a grid allows you to select which columns you
would like to display and the column display order. This allows
you to customize the grid to your viewing preferences. Once
customized, the column order will remain as per your
customization unless you make further changes.
To access Customize Columns, RIGHT CLICK on the grid and
select “Customize Columns”.
The Customize Columns window will be displayed as follows:
There are two sections in the window screen:
Available Columns (left) - lists columns that may be added to
the grid
Show Columns in
this order (right) -
lists the columns
displayed and the
order in which they
appear
23

Adding and Removing Columns from the Grid


Add a Column to the Grid:
• Within the Available Columns section, highlight the column (field) required
• Select the Add button to move the column to the bottom of the Show Columns section
• Select the OK button to save the change

Remove a Column from the Grid:


• Within the Show Columns section, highlight the column (field) required
• Select the Remove button to move the column to the Available Columns section
• Select the OK button to save the change
You can Add or Remove multiple columns at the same time by using the Shift or Ctrl keys.

Change the Order of the Columns for Display:


The top to bottom order that the columns listed in the Show Columns section repres ents the left to right order
that the columns are displayed when viewing the grid.
• Highlight the column name you wish to move
• Select the Move Up button to move the column up the list or the Move Down button to move the
column down the list
• Select the OK button to save the change
The order can only be moved one field at a time.

Mandatory Fields
It is mandatory to show columns marked in red on the grid. However, the display order of mandatory columns
may be changed.

Reset Column Order


Use the Reset button to reset the Show Columns section back to the c1 default.
24

Sort Order
To change the sort order on a grid to ascending or descending order,
mouse click on any column heading.
For example, if you mouse click on the full name field on the
organization grid. The records can be listed in either ascending or
descending shipment ID order. (Example shows ascending order)
An arrow is displayed next to the column label indicating the column
used for sorting.

By holding down the shift key, you can select multiple columns to sort by. This is especially useful if
you want to sort the on screen grid by more than one piece of information.

Grid Custom Colors


Grid Colors are available for all module grids. Grid results can be displayed in different user selected colors
using color schemes. The color scheme can consist of multiple rules that determine just which colors to be
displayed. This color scheme will only apply to the module grid it was created for. Multiple color schemes can
be created for a single module grid.

Create New Scheme


To create a new scheme, follow
these steps:
Right-click anywhere on the grid
Select Grid Colors > Create New
Scheme
25

The New Grid Color Scheme window will display as follows:


Enter a Scheme Name.
Select the Add Rule button and the New Color Scheme Rule dialog opens.
Create a name for your new rule and select the OK button.
Create the new rule and then the system opens an additional nested tab with the name of the rule created.
To create another rule, click the “Add rule” button
Click “Save and Close” when done.

Select Color Schemes


The system colors each of the grid lines per the filter criteria named in the setup. This color scheme is a
scheme containing several rules and the system allows a different color for a different set of filters.
If you have created multiple schemes for the same grid, you can select the scheme you wish to apply.
To select a different color scheme:
Select Grid Colors > Select Color
Scheme
From the different schemes to choose
from, select the required scheme. The
scheme currently applied by the system
has a check mark next to it indicating it
is active.
You can create as many schemes as you
need to visually highlight specific
records in your grid results.
Standard Color Scheme: If you select
the Standard scheme it will return your
screen to the standard default settings within the system. For most screens, the default has no color coding.
26

Manage Color Schemes


You can edit your color schemes. Simply highlight and click on Grid Colors, then highlight and click on
Manage Color Schemes and then click on the particular scheme you choose to edit.
The Edit Grid Color Scheme dialog opens. Each of the tabs and their associated filters are available for editing.
Remove Rule
You can remove a rule by clicking on the tab you wish to remove and then clicking on the Remove Rule button.
Rename Rule
You can rename a rule by clicking on the tab that you wish to rename then clicking the Rename Rule button.
Enter the name for the rule and click on the OK button. If you decide you are not going to rename the rule at
this time, click on the Cancel button.
Remove Scheme
You remove a scheme by clicking on the tab you wish to remove then clicking the Remove Scheme button
(bottom left).
27

VERY IMPORTANT – If multiple rules are created – the first rule created will be the one
that is used first. So, using this example, it is critical that the rule “City>Starts
With>Chicago” is FIRST, then the rule “Country>Equal to>United States” is second.
The system “reads” all organizations, looks for the ones in Chicago, then colors them green.
It then “reads” all organizations, looks for the ones in the USA, then colors them yellow.
Should the “Country>Equal to>United States” rule been placed 1 st – it would have colored all Orgs in Chicago
yellow, because they fit the criteria of being in the US.
Multiple Line Selection
Once you have your search result on the grid, you have the ability to select multiple lines to create an action.
You can do this using the following
• Holding the Shift and Ctrl keys and clicking row headers;
• Press left mouse button and scroll over several rows without releasing it;
• Press Ctrl+A to select all displayed rows
When making multiple Selections, ALWAYS click in the “gutter” to the right of each line item when making
your selections – Multiple Line Selection will NOT work by clicking on the line item.
28
