WO parts analyzer
The Analyzer is a powerful tool to build your own reports and perform data analysis based on your own personal needs. This feature functions just like a pivot chart in Excel. You have nearly all of the data fields for WO Parts available to build nearly any kind of report. The report can be saved as a setting and placed on your dashboard for easy access. You also have the ability to export this report. *Note: The Parts & POs feature is available to Asset Essentials clients for an additional cost. Please contact your Sales Representative or Client Services if you are interested in purchasing this feature.
Creating a report using the Analyzer
- Click on the Parts & POs menu icon and then click WO Parts.
- Filter the Work Order Parts list to include the records you want to report on.
- Click the Print/Report button and choose Analyzer. *Note: If you have filtered the WO Parts list before running the analyzer, the same filters will apply to the data that is displayed.
- A data table will be displayed showing basic information about your WO Parts. To see a visual representation of this data table click on the Chart button.
- You can choose which WO Parts you want to see by clicking the filter icon in the Problem column.
- By default, the tool will include WO Part totals for Count, Part Cost, and Grand Total as column headers.
- To remove a column header, hover your mouse over the Data Headers icon. A field list will appear representing the columns in the data chart. Right-click the field you do not want to show and select Hide from the menu that appears.
- To rearrange the column headers, hover your mouse over the Data Headers icon. A field list will appear representing the columns in the data chart. Click and drag the field(s) that you need to rearrange to the appropriate position and the chart will update automatically.
- To add additional fields and reorganize the data table, right-click the top of the table and select Show Field List.
- The PivotGrid Field List window will appear.
- Here you can drag and drop additional fields into the Filter Area, Column Area, Row Area, or Data Area.
- Dragging a field into one of these areas will immediately update the data chart to reflect the change. If you wish to make changes without the chart updating immediately click the Defer Layout Update check box to prevent the chart from updating until the Update button is clicked.
- To see additional options for your report click the More button.
- Here you can change the Data Settings to display more rows, include live data analysis and historical/time-series analysis.
- You can also change Chart Settings to display a different chart type, generate series from columns, and show point labels.
- Click Apply after making any changes.
