Here is the list of all orders the program knows: both downloaded ones and those still to be downloaded.
Buttons above the list
The “Order number:” line with a search field and a row of buttons:
- “Find” — find an order by number and select it in the list.
- “Details” — open the order card.
- “Copy” — copy all the order files to a chosen folder, for example a USB stick.
- “Open” — the order folder in Explorer.
- “Refresh” — re-read the list.
- “Delete” — remove the order from this computer (see below).
- “Load order info” — fetch order names and clients from the server.
- “Compare folders” — the window comparing the orders folder with the machine folders.
Lists and columns
Below are five lists on tabs: “All”, “Downloaded”, “Pending”, “Generation”, “Current”. The columns are the same:
- “Order #” — the order number.
- “Date” — the relevance date. By it the program understands that the order was rebuilt and must be fetched again.
- “Status” — downloaded, to download, generation, up to date or “deleted by user”.
- “Order” — the order name.
- “Client” — the customer.
- “Local files” — how many order files are on disk and how many copies are in machine folders, or “not on disk”.
The name and client are fetched from the server on start and by the “Load order info” button. Whatever was saved survives a program restart.
Search
The “Order number:” field filters the lists as you type — by number, name and client. The “Find” button looks for the exact number and selects the order in the “All” list.
What you can do with an order
A double click opens the order card. The right mouse button opens a menu:
- “Details #number” — the same card.
- “Open” — the order folder in Explorer.
- “Copy” — choose a folder, and all the order files are copied there.
- “View History” — all events of the order: when downloaded, when rebuilt, when deleted.
- “Delete Local Files” — wipe the files from disk; the order will be downloaded again on the next round.
There is no “Copy order number” command for the clipboard: “Copy” always copies the order files to a folder.
The “Delete” button above the list behaves differently from “Delete Local Files”: it wipes the files and the copies in machine folders and marks the order as deleted by the user, so that it does not come back until its date changes on the server. The difference between the two deletions is explained in Deleting an order and downloading it again.
The “Compare folders” button
Opens the window comparing the orders folder with the machine folder: you can see what was copied, what was not and what is extra. See The “Compare folders” window.
Limitations
- There is no sorting by columns — only the default order, filter by search.
- Several orders cannot be deleted at once on this tab: bulk deletion is in the folder comparison window.
- There is no export of the list to a file.
