Added to Filters Account Viewer Preferences, Clear All Filters, and a Load Last Filters

Several features have been added to help users control their filters in the Models Viewer and Packages Viewer. The most notable change is that each user’s last set of filters per model are stored and the filters for the Models Viewer are separate from the Packages Viewer filters. When a Models Viewer or a Packages Viewer is opened, a user can either manually (default) or automatically load their last session filter settings.

Feature Summary

  1. Each user can set their Account Viewer Preferences to automatically apply the last session’s filter settings per model and/or per model for all packages.

    1. Apply last session Model filter settings on load - When checked the user’s last Model Viewer > Filter settings will be automatically loaded when the model opens in the Models Viewer.

    2. Apply last session Package filter settings on load - When checked the last Packages > Filter settings will be automatically loaded when a package is opened in the Packages Viewer.

Unchecked (Default) “Apply last session filter settings”

  1. Filter settings for the user, for the Models Viewer, or the Packages Viewer are continuously stored from one session to the next, but these settings do not load automatically.

  2. Filter settings can be manually loaded by clicking the Load Last button.

     

  3. Any filters from the last session filter settings will be checked and their related Filter Group button will change from Off to On.

     

  4. A Filter Group can be manually turned Off which removes the filter from the viewer. The Filter Group can be turned On which filters the viewer.

     

  5. The Clear Filters buttons unchecks all filters. If the user checks a filter, that filter becomes the new last session filter settings which will load when the Load Last button is clicked.

Checked (Optional) “Apply last session filter settings”

  1. Filter settings for the user, for the Models Viewer, or the Packages Viewer are continuously stored from one session to the next and these settings will load automatically. It will take more time for models to load when this option is checked.

  2. Each time the viewer session is opened the last session filter settings will load.

     

  3. When the Filter Group is Off, those checked filters will no longer filter the viewer. When On, the filters will filter the viewer.

      Unchecked

    2. Scan a part QR code for a part that belongs to an assembly and only the part will be added to the container. This occurred after scanning one of the parts in the screenshot above.

Updated Actual Hours Calculation

Update the Actual Hours workflow to calculate totals from the tracking logs of Parts, Assemblies, and Packages on the Packages Dashboard. In particular, the part and assembly tracking log hours now bubble up to the package level. For example:

If a part and assembly belong to a package and actual hours are entered:

Part = 1; Part = 1.5; Part = 3; Part = -2
Assembly = 5; Assembly = 7
Package = 10
Packages Dashboard = 35.5

If part and assembly are in two different Package Categories and actual hours are entered:

Part = 1; Part = 1.5; Part = 3; Part = -2
Assembly = 5; Assembly = 7
Package = 10
Packages Dashboard for both packages = 35.5
