Filtering in SC Navigator
General
Data filtering is an important feature of SC Navigator, which is supported by filters available on side panels. The page will shown only data for the selected items. For example if only Ankara_LDC is selected on the Warehouse Data page, the tables on the page will shown only data for Ankara_LDC.
Each page contains filters for the data types which are used on it and the shown filters contain only data related that page. For example, on the data page Customer, the Product filter contains only products for which there is demand.
If a data type exists on different pages, the filter is applied to all those pages. For example, if a product is filtered out on the Warehouse data page, it will be filtered out e.g. on Customer page, too. On each filter side panel, the group data is shown in the upper part and single data is shown in the lower part.
On Supplier, Production, Warehouse, and Customer filter side panels you can switch to location view as follows:
For example on the Warehouse filter:
When using the filters the following effects are applied:
If a location is selected/unselected the related supplier/production/warehouse/customer is also selected/unselected. For example on the warehouse filter:
If a supplier/production/warehouse/customer (supplier/production/warehouse/customer group) is selected/unselected the related location (location group) is also selected/unselected. For example if Ankara_LDC is unselected on the Warehouse filter then it will be unselected on the Warehouse Location filter, and the same is true vice versa:
If a group data is selected/unselected the single data which belongs to this group is also selected/unselected. For example, if on the Warehouse (Location) filter the group CDC_COG is unselected, the single data COG_Munich_CDC also becomes unselected:
If a single data is unselected, the group which the single data belongs to is also unselected.
For example, if on the Warehouse (Location) filter the single data Ankara_LDC is unselected, the group LDC also becomes unselected:
If all single data in a group is selected, the group is also selected.
For example, if on the Warehouse (Location) filter the single data COG_Katowice_LDC, COG_Lausanne_LDC, COG_Mannheim_LDC is selected, the group LDC_COG also becomes selected:
You can clear all the filters as follows:
