Increase Lines & Make Pages Scrollable

Being limited to 14 lines and having to click through multiple pages is extremely time consuming.

Can we please make the pages scrollable, rather than being limited to the single screen.. The UI is limited to a small resolution as it is.

    Hi Andrew,


    The sort options would be great.

    The font size/screen size itself isn't the issue. It's just make use of the space available on monitors that would be more beneficial. Scaling the UI to make use of any resolution would make the workflow far less cumbersome.
    Using more height would allow for more lines. Using more width would allow for more columns and less tabs.

    Example - Purchase Orders: If I want to see the PO value WITH the description, the current process is; Click "Actions" > Click "By Job" > Enter same job number twice in "From" and "To" > Press Enter/Click "OK" > Click "Actions" > Click "By Supplier"

    Once I am here, I then have to click between the "Values" and "Description" tab to see the PO value and the PO item description.

    If more of the screen size was used, the job number and description columns could be on one screen.


    I have to scroll through multiple pages using just about every tool. From entering a PO with multiple line items, to working through a progress claim.

    Both the PO enquiry and the SC enquiry list every single line item for each entry, so there can quickly be a lot of pages if proper breakdowns are entered into the respective orders.

    Thanks for your suggestion...
    Unfortunately the architechture does not "currently" allow us to make grids
    longer in terms of the number of lines displayed but we are working on a
    few things including

    - reintroducing the mouse track wheel scroll functionality
    - adding more sort options to enquiries eg oldest to newest, newest to
    oldest. etc.

    In addition, you can make the font and screensize larger by zooming out
    your browser ctrl+'+' , ctrl+'-'. you do need to be on the browser version
    of course.

    Lastly could you let me know the particular area that you find you have to
    do the most scrolling and why? I am interested to know in case there is
    anything specific we can do to help you on that particular screen. For
    example you might say its always on AR Enquiry that I find myself scrolling
    through multiple pages etc.
    cheers
    Andrew
