You can also filter job records by applying a time period as a part of the data category. Select a type of date to indicate when the job was closed, due, released, or shipped, and then select a date range.

To group job analysis

  1. Load a new job analysis or load a saved job analysis

  2. On the toolbar, click the arrow beside By Customer, and select the required grouping option.

    Made2Manage groups job orders in the grid according to the option you select. A group’s roll-up row indicates the value of the selected grouping option. For example, if you select By Sales Person as the grouping option, each group’s roll-up row shows the name of a salesperson. Expand this row to see the job orders for this salesperson.

By default, Made2Manage selects the By Customer option, and groups all job orders by customer.

To see the job order’s details and its cost details, click the job order to open its Job Details - page.
