The Last icon is used to display (and highlight) the last available record.

1.2.2.2 Column header


The column headers contain, in addition to the name of the column and visible features, also
hidden features.

Column header is important for multiple reasons:

 DISPLAY ONLY THE SELECTED ROW using the icon (in the column header above the
checkboxes).

 Change the COLUMN WIDTH is done by dragging the dividing line.

 Change the ORDER OF VISIBLE COLUMNS is done by dragging the column header to the
side.

 DATA FILTERING is available in few columns by using a combo box.

 Allows users to trigger a special COLUMN HEADER CONTEXT MENU, which has functions:

 Sorting, grouping, hiding columns, bulk editing columns (hiding and


reordering).

For more information about the COLUMN HEADERS, see ADVANCED CONTROLS.

1.2.2.3 Data in the list


This central element of the list consists of a column for selecting row, column for data
manipulation (Action) and data items itself. The following figure shows two rows. The second
one was clicked (is highlighted blue), but not one of the rows is selected for bulk actions –
checkbox is not checked.
© Copyright RETIA, a.s. 2016

16
ReDat eXperience – Application Control Basics RD 044 005

The list responds to right-click by displaying context menu.

Context menus are used in some applications as the only way to work with the selected row
or element.

Double click (left mouse button) on the row works across the whole system, as displaying the
contents of the element (or editing or preview). Most often is any variation of form displayed.
In case of Catalog application it is tab Details with a list of parameters and partially editing
options.

Shown frame is primarily used to review and for entering or editing parameters for the
selected row. Content is usually divided into tabs. For example Users application – creation of
user:

More information about the FORMS is given in the chapter ADVANCED CONTROLS.

1.2.2.4 Information bar


The information bar contains information about the number of pages, actual position, the
number of displayed rows per page, as well as it allows to move to previous or next page.

There is also information about the total number of rows on all pages and how many of them
© Copyright RETIA, a.s. 2016

are selected.

Number in All rows may not accurately reflect the actual number of data items (eg, number
of records in Catalog). The number of rows is dependent on grouping (described in chapter

17
ReDat eXperience – Application Control Basics RD 044 005

Grouping). So if we want to know the exact number of data items in the list is necessary to
have turned off grouping.

The application remembers the selected rows, while browsing through multiple pages and
also when crossing to another application.

1.2.2.4.1 Movement between pages


This is where the transition between pages is possible. Element also informs the user about
how many pages is the data set divided to.

Selecting another page is made overwriting the page number in the text box (number is
editable!) or using the arrows (inner arrows are used to go to next/previous page and outer
arrows to jump to the first/last page).

1.2.2.4.2 Rows per page


Choice offers 5 preset options. Click left mouse button to select suitable option.

Currently selected option is bold.

1.2.3 Left panel


The left panel is not used in all applications. And where it is used it may have different
functions:

 In applications for working with records, the left panel display the list of sources.

 In application for configuration (Users, System, Rules) left panel is used (except
overview of available sources) for direct editing using context menu (for example
context menu in Users).

 Left panel often contains more than one tab.

 Filters cannot be configured elsewhere than in the left panel.

The left panel can be hidden, or shown again, using the triangle icon.

The left panel is hidden by default.

Panel can be enlarged or narrowed as needed using drag on the edge.

For more information about the LEFT PANEL see chapter ADVANCED CONTROLS.

19
ReDat eXperience – Application Control Basics RD 044 005

2.1.1 Section of applications


This section contains available applications that can be used in the eXperience. Basic
applications are: CATALOG, MONITORING and AUDIT.

It may also contain other applications (depending on installation).

2.1.2 Section of configuration applications


This section contains available applications that can be used to configure the eXperience.
Basic configuration applications are: SYSTEM, USERS and MYSPACE.

It may also contain other applications (depending on installation).

2.1.3 Switch role and log off section


In this section, the user can log off from the eXperience by selecting LOGOUT or change his
permission set by selecting SWITCH ROLE.

20
ReDat eXperience – Application Control Basics RD 044 005

The user can also log out by clicking on his own name in the upper right corner of each
application.

2.1.3.2 Switch role


If the user places the cursor over the item Switch role, name of the current role will appear.

The fact that the users can have assigned several roles does not mean that the privileges are
accumulated together! User uses only one role at the moment.

Clicking the Switch role opens a dialog box window where it is possible to switch to another
role.

The options offered to the user in this dialog are dependent on how the user is configured in
the Users application. Variants are as follows:

 User has only one role -> item Switch role is not visible.

 User with more than one role -> when switching roles in the Roles field, relevant groups
are automatically displayed in the lower Groups window to which the role is listed.
Logout button serves to log out of the system.

The user sees all groups (in which he has the same role assigned) at once after login.

By switching between roles, the user obtains a different approach to recording resources and
persons, so the role can determine the style of work with eXperience.

The user can switch the role by clicking on the icon of character in the upper right corner of
each application.

optional ones):

 Without filter - the header label is not underlined.

 Only text – dropdown menu contains a text field where it is possible to manually enter
© Copyright RETIA, a.s. 2016

text.

24
ReDat eXperience – Application Control Basics RD 044 005

 Only select – dropdown menu contains combobox, which retrieves items from the
column – for example columns Agent, Group.

 Select + text – dropdown menu contains combobox, which retrieves items from the
column, and it is also possible to write text manually.

2.3.3.2 Creating a simple filter


The filter can be created as a so-called simple filter where all filter conditions are mutually
connected by binding AND - all conditions must be fulfilled or as more COMPLEX FILTER with
possibility to determine binding AND/OR and creation of groups of conditions.

It is possible to establish new filter by clicking the text “Click to show the filter parameters”.

In case that there is already applied or opened filter its conditions are shown here. It is
necessary to cancel the filter using the Cancel (filter name) icon or using the context
menu by selecting New filter option (context menu must be triggered in the area of
conditions).

Simple combo box asking for filtering condition will appear.

Icons Apply and Save will appear only after at least one condition is selected.

It is possible to use up to 16 conditions in one filter.

Content of the combo box is determined by the order of displayed columns in the tab.

Orange framed list is a list of columns in the exact order as shown in the tab. Followed by a
green framed list of special parameters that are not in columns but are useful for filtering. Blue
framed are hidden columns (but allowed by system). Not allowed columns will not appear
here.
© Copyright RETIA, a.s. 2016

35
ReDat eXperience – Application Control Basics RD 044 005

If the condition is highlighted by a red color and there is an asterisk before the condition it
indicates that it is empty or wrong format or prohibited value.

Helpful wildcards for filtering:

Separator - for entering multiple items:

Campaign:

Exclamation mark - for exclusion of entered value:

Campaign:

Square brackets - for inserting just one character from the defined range, eg [5-9] (same as
[56789]) or [BE] (same as [BCDE]).

ANI:

ANI from 8300 to 8599 will fit the condition from the picture.

It is also possible to use a wildcard ? (Question mark) for any single character replacement
and the * (asterisk) to be replaced by any number of characters, including spaces or no
character.

All conditions in the sample filter are evaluated with the binding AND - it means that the filter
will display only incoming caals of the group Marketing and where the duration is in the
range of 1-3 minutes.

Special parameters in filters are Agent and Group. Their difference is the possibility to use a
button to retrieve a list of agents (or groups) which provides easier insertion of multiple
items.
© Copyright RETIA, a.s. 2016

36
ReDat eXperience – Application Control Basics RD 044 005

You can choose multiple items using SHIFT and/or CTRL. At the top of the box is (case
sensitive) search field.

Use Insert button to insert only the selected items into the filter - if the filter already contains
some items they will be replaced.

Use the Add button to add selected parameters to the filter – if the filter already contains
some items they will be retained and supplemented by the selected item(s).

Use Cancel button to close the selection.

Remove condition is possible using the context menu – “Remove condition”.

It is possible to Save or Apply filter anytime (if there is no red framed condition).

2.3.3.3 Creating a complex filter


“Complex” filter means only that the filter conditions are not connected together only by
binding AND. It is possible to create sub-groups of conditions with binding OR and major
binding AND or vice versa.
© Copyright RETIA, a.s. 2016

37
ReDat eXperience – Application Control Basics RD 044 005

Picture above: Only such records will be shown, which meet the conditions of at least one or
the other "AND" group.

Creation of complex filters begins in the same manner as the creation of a simple filter. If the
cursor is placed left from the conditions the vertical AND will appear (major binding). It is
possible to trigger context menu in this area that allows to switch major binding from AND to
OR, or add subgroup of conditions.

It is possible to add up to two levels (AND, OR) of groups.

Each condition can be moved by holding the area before the condition (the area is framed
in green color in the picture). Using the drag&drop system the condition can be moved to
another position or to pre-created group.

Recommendation: Drop the moving condition back into the same area (framed in green
color in the picture). This is important to follow in case of using sub-groups of conditions.

AND - all conditions must be met.

OR - at least one condition must be met.

Whole group of conditions can be moved using the drag & drop method (drag the area of
binding AND/OR).

2.3.3.4 Saving the filter


It is possible to Save or Apply filter anytime (if there is no red framed condition).

In case of saving the filter (or risk of losing unfinished filter) the following window will appear.

 Name – suitable name of the filter (max 32 characters).

Filters can have the same names.

 Favourite – whether to add filter to list of favourite filters or not.

 Access - whether the filter should be Private or Public/Manager.

 Private - visible only by its creator.

 Public and Manager - displayed to anyone who has allowed public/manager


filters by role.

 Manager is special kind of Public access that spreads upward, higher


groups can see (and edit) such filter and lower groups not.

 Further configuration is displayed when selected Public or Manager.

Group - the group to which the filter is assigned (people in this group or in
© Copyright RETIA, a.s. 2016


higher group will be able to edit this filter).

 Applications – because the filters are not just a matter for the Catalog
application, it is necessary to select the desired application to which the filter
will be assigned.

39
ReDat eXperience – Application Control Basics RD 044 005

 Catalog - filter for use in Catalog.

 Expiration - Records - filter intended for use in System - Data - Expiration


records.

 Roles - filter is designed to the configuration of roles in Users.

Offered applications in combo “Applications” are dependent on user’s role - the user without
permission to the application System cannot edit nor create filters for "Expiration - records"
and user without permission to the application Users cannot edit “Role” filters.

If you are about to save already existing filter, it is possible to check the checkbox Save as.

It will save the filter as new one and the old one will remain without any changes.
