Directories: User Fields

 Many clients of ANT-Logistics successfully use user fields that allow you to enter and transfer auxiliary information. Some of these clients are faced with the necessity to “save” user fields, since their limited number does not always make it possible to display all the data. We decided to fix this issue - now we have created a new User Fields Directory, in which you can create an unlimited number of fields, as well as edit and delete them.

ant-logistics

Let's go to the Directory User fields and add an entry by pressing +. Fill in the fields in the box that opens:

  • Code - filled in automatically, but can be changed;
  • Name - the name of the user field;
  • User ident. – identifier that is used for loading data via the API;
  • Belongs – the entity to which the field will belong (Sale points, Vehicles, Requests (Sale points));
  • Data type – field format (string, date, time, etc.).

ant-logistics

Created user fields are displayed only in properties by default. To change, go to the Directory. Table settings 1. Click on the required lines 2 (Directory/sale points, Directory/Vehicles or Document/Requests (Sale points)). In the sub box, by double clicking on the line with the previously created user field 3, we will call up the Edit Record 4 box, in which we note the need to show or hide this field. 

ant-logistics

After the performed actions, the user fields will be displayed in the corresponding Directory (Sale points,Vehicles) or Document (Requests) 1. To enter information into them, you need to open the Editing Record box 2 and fill in the corresponding field 4 in the User fields tab 3.

ant-logistics

Pay attention! User fields created in the User Fields Directory are marked with u (user) 5.

User fields, by analogy with other fields of Directories and Documents, can be imported, exported and displayed in the analytical module.

We believe that the completed revision will allow our users to use the service as efficiently as possible and enter all the information necessary for work without unnecessary “savings” of fields.

If you are interested in the described functionality, we are ready to demonstrate its operation, perform the necessary settings and provide access to the service. To do this, leave a request on the ANT-Logistics website.

Routes by delivery groups. Set up once and use.

Image
 Previously, we described how to use the Delivery Groups tool, link vehicles to a specific service area, and calculate routes for different geo-zones. This is convenient, but not in all cases. For example, for the delivery of large-sized goods, it is necessary to use trucks, while targeted deliveries of small-sized goods are handled much more efficiently by more maneuverable and economical cars. Also, there are often situations when it is not necessary to do the division into routes - it has already been done in another program and you just need to correctly display real routes, calculate time and mileage. In this article, we will look at how to use delivery groups in combination with sales point groups and calculate routes for these groups. We consider that the division into routes is made in the user program and uploaded to the  sales point group field . We need to take into account this division on the ANT-Logistics service. In the directories, select Sales point groups , then press

For example, goods of the "frozen" group have to be transported only by vehicles specially equipped for this purpose, nevertheless other goods should not get into the refrigerator.  Start setting - go to Sett ings , Accounting tab, opposite the Use Product Groups   field, select Yes and save the changes: Create product groups in the Product Groups directory. In our example, two groups are created: Frozen and Fruits and vegetables - a group that does not require special transportation conditions. Then go to the Products directory 1 and add the necessary products. When adding record in the  Name  field 2 , select a product group from the drop-down list (in our example, it is Frozen or Fruits and vegetables ): Let's go to the Vehicle directory 1 , select the vehicle and open the Prod.Group   tab 2 in the subw
