Button Functions

The Work Order Mass Update program provides buttons that you use to review work order mass updates and commit the work order changes to the database.

Note: None of the buttons enable you to view the draft or final updates in the grid area of the Work Order Mass Update form. To view the draft or final update values as applied to each record, you must view the report.

System Action

Draft Update

The system runs the R48714 program in draft mode.

If you click Draft Update after you have already processed records in draft mode, the system:

  • Clears errors and warnings, if any, from the grid.

  • Clears the errors and warnings indicator from the work table.

  • Runs the R48714 program in draft mode to update the work table to indicate whether errors or warnings exist.

  • Sends information to the Work Center about the report, and about errors and warnings.

Display Draft Exceptions

The system populates the Errors/Warnings Issued field in the grid for records with warning or error messages. For work orders with error messages, the system displays the text Error and colors the field red. For work orders with warning messages, the system displays the text Warning and colors the field yellow. For work orders with both errors and warnings, the system displays the text Error and colors the field red. See Errors and Warnings

The system performs no action when you click the Display Draft Exceptions button unless the Draft Update button was clicked and indications of errors or warnings exist in the work table.

Reset

The system performs these actions:

  • Refreshes the fields on the tabs to the original values.

    • If a template is applied, all default values are reset to the values from the template. Settings for hiding tabs and locking fields are retained.

    • If no template is applied, all fields in the tabs are cleared of values.

  • Clears errors and warning indicators from the work table and grid.

  • Retains the grid records as selected or deselected.

Final Update

The system performs these actions:

  • Displays a message that shows the number of records to update and requires a confirmation to proceed.

  • Runs the R48714 program in final mode.

  • Sends information to the Work Center about the report run and whether errors or warnings exist.

  • Closes the Work Order Mass Update interactive program.
