Wish # 6043 - NUMBER the Menu in EXPLORIS

Just call me old fashioned ... there are times that a number is quicker and faster than the LONG NAME of how a staff member gets  to the right page in Exploris.  I dug out my original request for this ( shown at bottom ) from 2005.

So the next time you need to tell a staff member you need to run a >> CUSTOMER >>ACCOUNTS>>ACCounT PRICING >> CUSTOMER PRICING SHEET --- you could shorten that to a 6 1 2 5 ... you will remember the easy & everyday used items first and slowly the rest become committed to memory

So --how about numbering the menu's -- it gives us an extra way to make things easier ....

Greg,
Regarding question(s) ..........(snip) ......

Number 4, I like the idea of numbers but I believe your suggestion may

require a good deal more work than just adding the number.  We would also
have to design a way for Exploris to "read" your number inputs so that it
would then know which main category and sub-categories to go to.  I will
bring this up in our next meeting with the developers.

Rick

Hello David or Rick
 

                      ( snipped out #1 thru #3 for clarity )

4) can anyone vote on if we should number the menus ...for example if you
numbered the menus -- adding a  alternate would be a 3-1-6
       Inventory is 3rd main group
           Part Entry is the 1st under Inventory
               Part Association is the 6th under Part Entry ..hence 3-1-6.
I like the numbered menus -- I have been used to them all my jobber life
-they  serve a purpose especially once someone is good with the system
...like J-Con 2-13 --who knows what that is ...see my point .... People who
know the system can save time by the 'numbers'

Regards


Greg Henderson
