Units: My List view

Operations Unit Units: My List Units: My List view

The Units: My List view displays a set of units selected by the current user. You can use the Units: My List view to watch specific containers and to update various properties of the selected units. When you log into N4 for the first time, the Units: My List view does not display any records. You can add units to the Units: My List view using any of the options listed below.

Prerequisites

• You must have the Units - My List (UNITS_MY_LIST) privilege to access this action.

After you add units to the Units: My List view, N4 displays the units in the Units: My List view until you remove them from this view.

If you choose Select Action from the Actions menu, you can type in or select the action you want to perform. Similarly, if you have the Units - Keyboard Shortcut privilege, you can type Ctrl-S to access the Select Action option.

To add a unit to the Units: My List view:

If multiple units exist for a container, N4 adds the most recent unit in the Active, Advised, or Departed transit state (on page 1), in that order of preference.

You can use one of the following methods to add units to the Units: My List view:

• In the Unit Inspector for the selected unit, click .

N4 adds the unit to the Units: My List view.

• In the Units view (on page 1), the Pre-advised Units view, or the Work Instructions view:

• Select the units that you want to add to the Units: My List view.

• Select the Display Add Selected to 'My List' option.

• In the Units: My List view, use the Display Add... option.

N4 displays the Add to Units: My List form (on page 1).

N4 applies the instance security to the Units: My List view similar to any other view. If you enter a container number for which a unit exists in N4, but you do not have permission to view the unit, N4 does not add the unit to the Units: My List view.

To remove a unit from the Units: My List view:

1. In the Units: My List view, select the units that you want to remove from the list view.

2. Select Display Remove Selected.

N4 removes the selected unit from the Units: My List view.

By default, N4 creates the list of units in the Units: My List view for each user and associates the list with a user ID. However, you can associate the Units: My List view with the company for which the user works or with the business group to which the user belongs. For more information, see User form.

Notes

• The maximum number of units that you can add to the Units: My List view is 950.

• If you change the sort order or the column layout in the Units: My List view, N4 does not save the change after you close the tab.

• If you share the Units: My List view with other users, you have to click the button or close and reopen the tab to view the changes made by the other users.

List Selected

Sometimes, you may want to view a smaller subset of units listed in the Units: My List view. You can select the units that you want to view and select the Actions List Selected option (on page 1) option to create another view that displays only the selected units. N4 creates a new tab with only the selected units and specifies the name of the tab as Selected@HH:MM:ss, where HH:MM:ss is the time when you created the list view. The Actions and Display menus in this view provides the same options as the parent view, including custom actions that you may have implemented. N4 does not save the List Selected views. If you close the tab or quit N4, you must create the selected list again. If you want a more permanent subset of units that you want to monitor, you must use the Units: My List view (on page 1).
