Adding Content to an Enhanced Workbench Layout

This page is accessed via Configuration and Administration > User Configuration > Enhanced Workbench .

To define a new pane, hover over the Layout Configuration icon Layout Configuration icon to see the content editor menu and click Add Content icon Add Content. This allows you to add content to a region. If you add content to the same region multiple times, each additional time creates a new component tab within the same region.

You can add tables, one or more maps, one Driver Gantt chart, one Work Assignment Gantt chart, one or more manager layouts,  one or more Load Config components to your layout, etc.

Adding a Table

You can add a table to a Workbench layout as follows:

  1. Select a Component Type of Table.
  2. Select an Object Type. Various fields appear only when you have selected a specific object type.
  3. Enter a Tab Name. In the finished workbench, the tab name appears on a tab at the top of the area you are defining. If left blank, the tab name defaults to the object name (for example Buy Shipment).
  4. Select a Screen Set. The screen set defines how the business object is displayed when you click on the ID.
  5. If you select an object type of Buy Shipment, Driver, Shipment Stop, or Work Assignment, the Show Gantt column check box appears. Select this check box if you want the table to have an In Gantt column in it. The In Gantt column allows you to select items and display them on a pane of the workbench defined to have either a Driver, Work Assignment, or Dock Scheduling Gantt chart.

    If you select an object type of Shipment Stop and add as a detail table, the In Gantt column radio button appears. The In Gantt column allows you to select an item and display it on a pane of the workbench defined to have a Dock Scheduling Gantt chart.
    1. For a Driver Gantt chart:
      • For a driver, you can select this check box to add the driver to the Driver Gantt chart.
    2. For a Work Assignment Gantt chart:
      • For a work assignment, you can select this check box to add the work assignment to the Work Assignment Gantt chart.
    3. For a Dock Scheduling Gantt chart:
      • For a shipment stop, you can select this radio button to add location resource (dock door) to the Dock Scheduling Gantt chart.
      • When you select a shipment stop used with a Dock Scheduling Gantt, the Gantt chart displays existing appointments if any for the selected location.
  6. When you select an object type of Buy Shipment, Driver, Location, Modeling Scenario, Modeling Shipment, Network, Order Movement, or Order Release, the Show map column check box appears. Select this check box if you want the table to have a Map column in it. The Map column allows you to select items and display them on a pane of the workbench defined to have a map.
  7. If you want the first row of data in the table to be selected automatically, select the Default first row selection check box. This option is not selected by default when you add a table.
  8. If this table is a child table to another table, select the Detail Table check box. You then see the Associated Tables list. You must select at least one associated table saved search. If you select more than one associated table saved search, the detail table is associated with all of those tables. This search establishes the relationship between the main and detail tables. For example, you can set up a layout with an order release table as the detail table for an accepted shipments main table and declined shipments main table. It also is a non-finder-based saved query.
  9. If you set this table as a detail table, you select a Combined Detail Type to determine how the records in the detail table are displayed. Inline edit and filters are not supported for combined detail table. The Combined Detail Types are:
    • Grouped Combined Detail shows the details of all the the parent tables selected in the Associated Tables list as a combined group for easier navigation.
    • Ungrouped Combined Detail shows Shows the details all the the parent tables selected in the Associated Tables list as a single list of records.
  10. Select a Population Method to determine how a table is populated. The Population Method drop-down list only appears for some objects. The Population Method options are:
  • Saved Search allows you to select a Default Saved Search so that specific results are populated in the table when you use the layout. Use a default saved search for standard workbench layouts. This appears for objects such as buy shipment, driver, order release, etc. 
  • Action allows you to select an Action Data Mapping ID so that the table results are populated based on an OTM action. Use this option when a layout is launched from an action where the action knows exactly how to populate the table. Use of this option is only for advanced users, and caution is recommended. This appears for objects such as buy shipment, driver, order release, etc.
  • Work Queue allows you to select a GTM Work Queue so that the table results are populated based on the GTM work queue. A work queue is a list of tasks that are assigned to a specific user and are used when creating GTM work queue workbench layouts. This appears for the GTM objects contact, party, transaction, transaction line, trade item structure, trade item structure component, declaration, and declaration line.
  1. In the Table Parameters Default section, select the icons that appear in the table toolbar. The icons are:
  • Add
  • Replace
  • Remove
  • New (must also be set up in the screen set)
  • Edit (must also be set up in the screen set)
  • Delete (not selected by default and must also be set up in the screen set)
  • Refresh
  • Export (must also be set up in the screen set)
  • Run Analytics (not selected by default)
  • Drag/Select Text (not shown if drag-and-drop is disabled in the Logic Configuration)
  • Filter

Adding a Map

You can add a map to a Workbench layout as follows:

  1. Select a Component Type of Map.
  2. Enter a Tab Name. In the finished layout, the tab name appears on a tab at the top of the area you are defining.
  3. If you want to change which fields appear by default in the map hover text, expand the Hover Screen Sets section and select user-defined screen sets for one or more objects for which you want to change the hover text.
    • A Hover Screen Set controls the fields which appear in the hovering pop-up window when you click the Show Details Hover icon on the map. Within the Hover Screen Sets section, you can select the screen sets for various objects supported by the map component.
    • To configure the fields displayed in the hovering pop-up window on the screen set, select the Include in Hover Text option for fields in the Results tab via the More button.
    • Once expanded, the Hover Screen Sets section is grouped as follows:
      • Shipment: includes shipment-related objects such as buy shipment and shipment stop as well as logistics network modeling related objects such as modeling shipment and modeling shipment stop.
      • Order: includes order-related objects such as order movement and order release.
      • Driver: includes the driver object.
      • Network: includes network-related objects such as location, network leg, region, and region details.
    • Show Default Hover: This check box controls which default fields are shown in the map hover text pop-up. This check box is selected by default. To remove the default hover fields deselect this check box. The default hover fields are listed in column 3 in the table below.

Defining Fields for Map Hover Text

Note: It is only necessary to define fields If you want to change which fields appear by default in the map hover text. Many fields are already included by default in the map hover text. So check the default hover before making any changes.

You can change which fields appear in the map hover text for your workbench layouts as follows:

  • To see both the default hover fields (column 3 below) and fields pre-defined in the PUBLIC screen set fields (column 2 below), select the Show Default Hover check box and leave the corresponding screen set field blank. This is the default.
  • To see both the default hover fields and the fields specified in a user-defined screen set, select the Show Default Hover check box and specify a screen set.
  • To see only the fields pre-defined in the PUBLIC screen sets, clear the Show Default Hover check box and leave the corresponding screen set field blank.
  • To see only the fields specified in a user-defined screen set, clear the Show Default Hover check box and specify a screen set.

Note: If you leave the screen set field blank (which is the default), the PUBLIC screen set is automatically used. This will show the predefined fields see column 3 in the following table.

The following table details each PUBLIC screen set that has fields with the Include in Hover text check box selected by default. The third column in this table lists the fields for each business object that are controlled by the Show Default Hover check box. They are shown in the map hover if the Show Default Hover check box is selected.
