The Job Preview Pane Function

Double clicking a job in the “Due list” will open the job details and description for the job. If you are browsing through a lot of the jobs, this can become rather cumbersome. To avoid forcing users to double click every job they want to preview we have added the Job preview pane function.

To activate the job preview pane click the  [Show job preview] button found in the top menu. This will add a new section to the due list with the job preview as shown in image below. The job presented in this view depends on the job selected in the due list. So using this preview you can easily brows trough the jobs in the list.

The due list with the “Job preview pane” activated. 

The job details available in this preview are: Component code and name, job type, number, standard job description and local description. In additions 3 tabs are shown on the right hand side, listing documents attached to the job, the spare part list for this job, and any personnel distinct job descriptions. The number of entries on each tab is displayed as part of the tab name, saving you the time to manually check the tabs for additional information.  

If the job has been postponed, a 4^th tab will also be available, called “Postpone reason”, where you will find, as the tab name indicates, the reason given when the job was postponed.

The  [Show job preview] button is a “toggle” button, which means the preview pane will remain visible until the button is clicked again.
