The card opens with a double click on an order on the “Orders” tab, with the “Details” button or the “Details #number” item in the right-click menu. It is a separate window above the main one; the data is fetched from the server, so for the first couple of seconds some fields are empty — the bottom says “Loading...”.
Card tabs
- “General” — QR codes, the “Order” block (firm, name, date, number of parts, status, production date), the “Client” block (name, phone, delivery, comment), the “Links” block and the list of parts.
- “API data” — the full server reply for the order as a tree. Useful when you need to prove what exactly the server sent.
- “Events” — the order history with manager names and status names.
- “XNC Status” — the state of the CNC programs for the order on the server side.
- “Calculation” — the calculation data of the order.
- “Files” — the tree of this order’s files that are actually on your disk. A double click opens a file.
Each tab loads separately: if the server answered one with an error, the others are still filled.
Forms, QR codes and 3D
The “Links” block on the “General” tab has three lines: “Full order form”, “Production order form” and “Order in 3D”. A click on the address opens the page in the browser — there is no separate “Open on site” button in the card.
On the left — two QR codes: for the order form and “QR 3D” for viewing the order in 3D. They are handy to show from the screen to the phone of a storekeeper or assembler.
A double click on a part in the list opens its own 3D page. The page language follows the interface language of the program. If the firm’s server does not return these links yet, the “Order in 3D” line shows a dash, and a double click on a part opens its label — nothing breaks.
List of parts
Columns: number, “Name”, “Size (X x Y x Z)”, “Material”, “Label link”. The part number is the same as printed on the label; that is how a part is found on the shop floor.
Buttons at the bottom
- “Refresh” — re-read all tabs from the server without closing the card.
- “Download programs” — save the CNC program archive of this order to a chosen place. The button is shown when the archive exists on the server. If there are no programs yet, a note appears instead and, if the order status allows, the “Queue for program generation” button: when the programs are ready, the program downloads the order itself.
- “Close”.
To open the order folder or copy its files, use the “Open” and “Copy” buttons on the “Orders” tab.
What the card does not have
The order is only viewed here: it cannot be edited, that is done on the server.
Not to be confused with the order card in the 1C exchange
This card shows the files and composition of the order for production. If you have an exchange with the accounting system set up, it has its own card — for the manager, with amounts and actions on the order: The order card in the 1C data processor, and turning the order into a document — Importing an order into a “Customer order”.
