List View across all ianaiERP Modules

The List View is the standard, table-style page you’ll see in every module (e.g., Purchase Orders, Sales Orders, Vendors, Work Orders). It’s designed for fast scanning, filtering, and bulk actions across many records. Most lists share the same columns, controls, and behaviors so users can learn once and reuse everywhere.

Overview

  • The List View is the standard, table-style page you’ll see in every module (e.g., Purchase Orders, Sales Orders, Vendors, Work Orders). It’s designed for fast scanning, filtering, and bulk actions across many records. Most lists share the same columns, controls, and behaviors so users can learn once and reuse everywhere.

Where to Access

Open any module from the left sidebar (e.g., Purchase > Purchase Order, Sales > Customers, Manufacturing > Work Order). You’ll land on that module’s list view.

Top controls are consistent across lists: Search, Filters (e.g., Status), Settings (gear), Print, Download, Select Columns, and Add New.

Key Attributes (Common Columns & UI)

Common Columns

  • Number - The document or record identifier (e.g., PO-0122, WO-1090).

  • Date/Time - Transaction or creation date/time used for sorting and reporting.

  • Due Date - The next action/commitment date (delivery, fulfillment, completion), context-aware per module.

  • Status - Current lifecycle state (e.g., Pending, Issued, Open, Closed, Overdue, Partial); shown as a colored badge.

  • Party (Vendor / Customer) - Business counterparty for purchasing or sales records. In multi-company setups, a small “COMPANY” chip may show context.

  • Total Amount - Document total in the document currency (tax and freight inclusion depends on module settings).
