Filter information in the Inventory dialog box

Use the Filter command to only show the desired items in the Inventory dialog box. Filters can be handy for viewing specific inventory materials. You can reset the applied filters at any time by clicking Clear Filters at the upper-left corner of the dialog box, so that all items are displayed again.

Note that using filters only affects the way you see the Inventory dialog box, so you cannot accidentally change other users' settings.

  2. On the menu, select Filter.

    The Inventory Filters dialog box opens.

    For some filter types, such as location, reference number, or heat number, you can also click Find and type the desired value in the blank field to use it. This way, you do not have to scroll through all the available items.

  4. In the Filter dialog box, do one of the following depending on the filter type:
    • Click the arrow buttons to move the items that you want to display to the Included list..
    • Type the maximum and minimum values for the items that you want to display.

  5. Click OK.

    If you want to further filter the information displayed in the Inventory dialog box, repeat steps 3 to 5 for different items.

    6. To close the dialog box, click the Close button (X) in the upper-right corner.

      The newly created filter type is selected in the Filter Types list.

  7. According to your needs, do one of the following:
    • To use the filter, click Apply Filter.
    • To use the filter in the job and save it until a new filter is set or the filter is cleared, click Apply Filter & Save.

      Note that the filter will remain in use even if you close and re-open the job. After you clear the filters, the filter settings cannot be used again.

The Estimating Filters dialog box closes, and the Inventory dialog box is filtered according to the settings you made.
