Why the redesign?

In response to valuable customer feedback, we’ve redesigned the Item Master Screen to reduce the number of clicks required to access information and perform actions. Our goal is to make data fields not only easier to find but also accessible within a single click. 

Consistency and training benefits

This update is part of our ongoing effort to align the Item Master Screen with the Work Order Master and Asset Master screens. By ensuring consistency across the application, we minimize training needs and enhance ease of use.

What to expect

Below, you’ll find before and after images of the Item Master Screen. The new design introduces several user-friendly features that make navigating and managing item data more intuitive. 

 

Previous Item Master Screen

The original layout required multiple clicks to access detailed information, making the process cumbersome.

New and improved Item Master Screen

The redesigned screen features at-a-glance information and easy access to details, reducing the need for multiple clicks. 

Upper Screen Area

We’ve redesigned the upper part of the screen to display information that users most frequently referenced. This change allows users to quickly access data without navigating through multiple layers.

Details Section

The right side of the screen, known as the Details section, now presents important data such as alternative parts or Manufacturer ID without data without additional clicks.

Tabbing Organization

On the left-hand side, we’ve organized information into three tabs: General, Purchasing, and Usage/History. These tabs are designed to segment information into manageable sections, reducing clutter and improving navigation.
