Requests: List Page
The Requests list page displays all Requests records. Clicking a row on the table causes its corresponding version to open.
The search field in the top-right of the table can be used to filter the report by deliverable #, version #, deliverable type, reuse library name, release stage, status, categories 1-5, previous name, team member, owner, divisions, program, manufacturing location, and created by. Search criteria can be cleared by selecting the yellow filter icon that appears to the right once a search (or filter) is performed.
Charts: View or generate new charts. View this article for more information.
Bulk Export: Generates an Excel file with the current contents of the table, this includes column selections and filter which can be modified in the export pop up.
Columns: Used to add or remove columns from the table. This is searchable. Columns can be moved around and expanded/collapsed.
Adding to Favorites: You can save a list page as favorite report (on the dashboard) which will contain all column selections and enabled filters.

Filtering the Table
The table has many ways to filter the table for data of interest. Filters can be removed by selecting the yellow filter icon.
Record Type
This field is blank by default. Select one or more of the options (Supplier or Customer) to filter the table quickly.
Requests Type
This field is blank by default. This dropdown populates with the names of all Requests Types found in the table. Select one or more to filter the table quickly by release stage.
Aging (Days)
This field is blank by default. Select one or more of the options (1-30, 31-60, 61-90, 91-120, 120+) to filter the table by the number of days a record was open before it became "Closed" status. This is grouped into buckets.
Show [Timeframe]
This filters the table according to "Created Date". Select one of the quick filters or create your own timeframe.
Quick Filter
To filter the table according to version status, select one of the "Quick Filters" shown below.
The "Only My Items" filters the table to only the records where you, the session user, are aligned as a representative or as a review signature assignee as either the customer or supplier. It will filter records where you belong to a department or workcenter assignee as well.
Column Filters
Each column has the ability to be individually filtered and sorted. Some contain multiple select filters and others contain search criteria.
Group Column Data
The second row in the table titled "Drag here to group column data" allows row entries to be grouped by several columns in order by simply dragging the column header to that row. The order in which columns are dragged is important but they can be easily modified by dragging them before and after other entries in the row. To remove the grouping, click the "x" on each entry in the row.
The applicable columns are: Requests Type, Part Number, Customer, To Division, Supplier, From Division, Aging (Days), Program, Signature Pending, Platform, Product Type, Record Type
All records when using this feature. Using the search, column filters, and quick filters ("Only My Items") can quickly reduce the number of visible entries depending on your querying needs. The organization of entries is retained when performing a Bulk Export, it is not retained in the Favoriting function within Net-Inspect, and it can be bookmarked in the browser.
Columns
All columns are derived from fields and details associated with a version. A few columns of interest are highlighted below.
Requests Type
The broad category of manufacturing issue. Options are defined typically by the customer of the records.
Aging (Days)
Number of days a record has/had been open until it reached status "Closed" (or "Void"). This will not reset if the record is reopened.
Signature Pending
This defines the next signature expected according to the "Function" column on the Review Signatures table. If the record is awaiting supplier submission, it will state "Submission" instead.
Signature Pending Assignee
When a customer signature is pending, this column displays the assignee for that "Function". If unassigned, it will state "Unassigned" and when the record is Closed or Void, "N/A" will display instead.
Review Signature Assignees
Lists all assignees within the Review Signatures table. If unassigned, it will state "Unassigned". If all rows in the review signature table were removed, this column will be blank.
