This was a very inefficient and time consuming way to find out something is wrong with your products or parts! you would have to create a work order, and process to get the parts list. Previously, to get a consolidated list of parts from your products to verify materials, edgebanding, part sizes, etc. This feature is a hidden gem that I accidentally stumbled upon recently, but it is phenomenal. You can read all of the documentation on this feature from Microvellum’s open Knowledge Base here: Report Groups (Overview) You can even setup multiple report groups and trigger specific reports to only run based on the Processing Stations you have selected, so if you have a CNC report, you can have it run automatically only when you’ve processed to your CNC Processing Stations.Īdditional features allow you to specify the output location for the entire Report Group, or by report, as well as to create dynamic file names for the reports. Now with Report Groups, this can all be automated, and set to run automatically when processing your work orders. This took forever, as each report could take time to open, load and render all of the data, and then the time to make the selections nd enter a file name, etc. Even worse, if you needed to save the report to a specific file type instead of just sending to a printer, you would have to open each individual report, and then save from there. Prior to this feature, when printing reports, users had to individually select each report to send to printer, every time you processed a work order.

This feature is not as new, being made available as of build, however is is one that I am still extremely pumped about having! You can read all of the documentation from Microvellum’s open Knowledge Base here: Modify Work Order InterfaceĪnother new feature that greatly increases efficiency is batch printing using Report Groups. In addition to being able to edit, add or subtract materials, you can edit the properties of the Work Order, including Work Order Number, Status, Estimate, Comments, and even the Batches. From within any work order, you can now access this from the General menu, and you are presented with a beautiful interface that allows you to edit all of the materials, or even add new materials! This was a nightmare for efficiency, especially if you were anything like me, and constantly finding mistakes or things that needed to be changed, forcing you to reprocess a work order many times over just to get it all right!īut alas! Microvellum has heard the screeches of engineers the world over, and given us the Modify Work Order Interface. In this post, I’m going to summarize some of my favorite new features:įor many years, users have been begging for the ability to edit materials from within a work order, but instead we had been forced to go back and make our changes, and then reprocess the work order. Over the last couple of years, Microvellum has been rolling out updates with some great features that have improved workflows and opened up a lot of new possibilities for users.
