Adding and Configuring Confusing Counterman Report

The Confusing Counterman Report component can be added to the Application Manager Screen to generate a report of ambiguous application records that would confuse a counterman.

Prerequisites

Since basic concepts for working with the designer are not covered in this section, a user configuring the Confusing Counterman Report component within a Web UI is expected to be familiar with the Web UI Designer. In addition, the user must have appropriate privileges to access the designer. For more information, refer to the Designer Access topic within the Web User Interfaces section of the STEP Online Help here.

The user must have appropriate knowledge about the functionalities of the Application Manager Screen. For more information about the Application Manager Screen, refer to the Application Manager topic here

 

Adding / Configuring Confusing Counterman Report Component

Steps for adding and configuring the Confusing Counterman Report Component for an Application Manager screen are below.

  1. Access the Web UI Designer, where the Application Manager can be configured.

  2. Click the Add button next to the Reports parameter, and the Add Component dialog will display.

  3. Select the Confusing Counterman Report component, click the Add button, and the Confusing Counterman Report Properties dialog will display as shown below.

Within the Confusing Counterman Report Properties dialog, populate the following parameters:

  • Name: Enter a text that needs to be displayed as a radio button when the user clicks the Create Report button in the Application Manager.

  • Specific Confusing Counterman Reports: Within this parameter, the user can add one or more report components by clicking the Add button. It is mandatory to have at least one report component so that when clicking the Create Report button in the Application Manager, a report of confusing application records is generated. The report components within this parameter further define the nature of the report to be generated. Each report component will have a criterion defined based on the type of report generated. The following report components are available to configure:

  • Multiple Parts For Same Vehicle Report: This component helps in generating a report where multiple identical application records belonging to different parts are referenced to the same vehicle. For more information, refer to the Multiple Parts For Same Vehicle Report Component topic here.

  • Overlapping Applications Report: This component helps in generating a report where multiple application records belonging to a part are referenced to the same vehicle. The report is generated if application records exist with unclear conditions / options defined in them.

  • Workflow ID: Enter the workflow ID to which the confusing application records are to be initiated. The workflow should be able to handle confusing applications. The workflow defined in this parameter should be valid for the object type of the application record. The Invalid Application Workflow (ID = InvalidApplicationWorkflow) is entered for the example above.

  • Equal Attributes: Add attributes valid to the application records that are to be exempted from being flagged as confusing if an ambiguity exists. Attributes added in this parameter will not be considered for comparison while analyzing the application records.

  • Equal Reference Types: Add reference types valid to the application records that are to be exempted from being flagged as confusing if an ambiguity exists. Reference types added in this parameter will not be considered for comparison while analyzing the application records.
