HighViews are organized according to the source of the data and the applications associated with them. They may be accessed from various places in the VL Workspace. Also, "single-purpose" HighViews (associated with a specific action grid) may be invoked directly via OneClicks and listed as menu items in MyFavorites.

The HighViews system menu provides a list of all the HighViews that are available to you based on your site/operator profile:

There are two types of HighViews:

1. Work in Process (WIP) Highviews and
2. Query Highviews

Work in Process HighView 

Work in Process HighView (WIP HighView) is a pre-loaded HighView that shows records that are currently in process. Each record displays an individual transaction. These records have been recorded into the warehouse system but have not yet been finalized. Example: a receipt Invoice has not been printed and closed or updated to the Accounts Receivable and General Ledger system, oran  order that has been recorded into the warehouse system but are not yet shipped to a destination.

Query HighView 

Query HighViews are designed so that you can view both historical and work-inprocess data together in the same place. However, they are not pre-loaded with data from the database. Instead, you must compose and submit a query to populate the HighView. The Query HighView will open with the Query dialog box like below for the user to input data. A Query can also be executed from the first button on the Control panel of the HighView.

When you first open a HighView, it will display the default action grid currently associated with that HighView. If the HighView contains more than one action grid, you can switch to a different one using the selector buttons at the top of the page . The variety of action grids available will depend on the data and tasks defined for a given HighView.

Each action grid includes a set of buttons and controls that allow you to perform a variety of tasks on the displayed information, including query, data selection, sorting, and filtering. For documentation on the display and manipulation of data in an action grid, refer to the Action Grids  topic in this documentation.

The browser-based interface lets you have multiple HighViews open in different tabs at the same time. Each time you select a HighView or Shortcut from the main Menu Page, the associated HighView will open in a new tab. Consider some of the benefits to this flexibility:

• Depending on your site/operator profile, you will be able to access data from different sources (each from a completely different campus) while logged in to the same session.
• You can open different HighViews in different tabs, but you can also open the same HighView multiple times.
• Keep one HighView open for taking action on specific data ... open a second instance of that HighView (set to Auto-Refresh) to track real-time updates of the same data.
• If you are equipped with dual monitors (or a wide screen), you can even launch multiple instances of your browser sessions to display multiple HighViews at the same time.

New HighView "sub systems" are being created on a regular basis. The following HighViews are available with the current version of ViewPoint Logistics.
