This project was cancelled as other development projects removed the need.
This project has been re opened as the solution for products etc did not suit the Customer or Patient workspace.
After discussion, users will have the chance to pledge to this project (15/8/10).
Discussion complete, user(s) were happy with just the "Find Again" option. Previous searches were not required. Has been sent for Devloper review & costing (02/09/10)
Costing complete (07/09/10)
Final Description (02/09/10)
1. Instead of the "Select" button in the Customer workspace, we will have two buttons "Find Again" and "New Search" (or names similiar).
"Find Again" opens the previous search complete with all items in fields. You can modify them, rerun the search by pressing Find (Alt-F) change page, whatever.
"New Search" opens a blank search page just as "Select" does currently.
New Description (25/08/10)
A bit of revision;
As Tim has explained the solution in this Project worked well for the Products and other workspaces but did not suit the Customer search/select dialog.
Therefore the "Customer search results persist" project was reopened.
The idea relates to the circumstance where you enter a search for a customer, find the wrong one, then have to go back and re type all your search parameters again to get the list back.
The solution that has been suggested is as follows:
1. Instead of the "Select" button in the Customer workspace, we will have two buttons "Find Again" and "New Search" (or names similiar).
"Find Again" opens the previous search complete with all items in fields. You can modify them, rerun the search by pressing Find (Alt-F) change page, whatever.
"New Search" opens a blank search page just as "Select" does currently.
An alternative if we wanted prior searches (not just last one), would be to have a list of the previous searches in a drop down box. Pressing "Find Again" would use the search selected from the list.
Previous Description
This is a relatively simple development feature and it arose from the discussion of a new selection box for things like Lookups, Types etc (here).
The development will have customer search results remain between selections. This will allow the user to move to the next customer in the list and avoid the need to have to re type in search criteria such as name and patient.
The Name, Patient and Contact boxes would remain emptied, to allow new searches to be started easily.
