Business View Details

To insert an object in the Business View editor you can:

• Create new objects or insert existing objects: “Object Design - Create or Add”
• Add comments where you want: refer to section "Object Design - Update and Actions" > "Create Note".

Objects can be placed manually or automatically. Refer to section: "Automatic Redraw".

Moving the mouse over an object displays the name and some characteristics of the object in the status bar of the View. For example, for a Uproc: the Uproc name, the target MU (if specified) and the return code (if specified) are displayed.

To execute a Business View, you must distribute or deploy it as a Job Chain. For a node:

• DUAS V5, Refer to section: "Deployment".
• DUAS V6, refer to the section "V6 Deployment Details".

The menu at the top left gives access to the following actions:

• Save

  If some objects have not been saved, a dialog will prompt the user to do so; then the object can be saved. Enter the name of the object and its description. A Business View, a Job Chain and a Production Plan can have the same name, because the extension differs (BV, JC or PP). Click OK to confirm.

• Save as

  Enables you to save an existing View with a different name and description.

• Modify View Label

  Enables the View description to be changed. The name of the View is grayed out in this window as it cannot be updated. The description, however, can be modified (up to 255 characters) before clicking OK.

• Print

  Prints the View. If a printing zone is defined, it prints this zone only; if not, it prints the whole View. It will open a standard print function.

• Print Preview

  Displays how the View will appear if printed with the current print configuration (refer to section: Print Setup) and printing zone (refer to section Define Printing Zone) below.

• Print Setup

  Enables the user to define the default parameters affecting both the print preview and the printed output.

  • Printer: Select a printer in the list.
  • Paper Orientation: Select Portrait or Landscape.
  • Paper Size: Select the right paper size, according to the available formats on the selected printer.
  • Scaling: Select Automatic to be sure the whole View fits in one page.
    Select Manual to customize the scaling (from 1% to 400%); the page numbers displayed below are automatically calculated depending on the choice.
    Click OK to validate the choices.

• Define Printing Zone

  Select this option to define the printing zone on the View; draw a rectangle by dragging.

• Remove Printing Zone

  Removes the defined Printing Zone.

• Undo/Redo

  This feature is available but the history is reset each time a Dollar Universe object is modified.

  For example:

  • If you drag and drop a Uproc in a Session, the Undo/Redo is reset.
  • If you draw a condition between two Uprocs, the Undo/Redo is reset.
