Specifies the menu label for a work queue (which will display as a sub menu of Process>Work Queue) and the conditions to be met in order for records to be included in the work queue.
DescriptionA work queue is a set of records that require processing (unprocessed sales for example); the Vitalware system manages the queue, allocating each unprocessed record in turn to the next available operator. A work queue is accessed from the Process>Work Queue sub menu.
The Work Queue Registry entry provides a name for a work queue and the conditions to be met for a record to be included in the work queue.
Usage
This Registry entry is assigned to groups:
| Key | Group |
|---|---|
| Key 1 | Group |
| Key 2 | group |
| Key 3 | Table |
| Key 4 | table |
| Key 5 | Work Queue |
| Key 6 | Queue Name |
| Value | QueueColumn;column=value;column=value;... |
In pipe-delimited format:Group | group | Table | table | Work Queue | Queue Name | QueueColumn;column=value;column=value;... |
where:
Queue Name | is the name of the Menu entry to display under the Process>WorkQueue> Menu. |
QueueColumn | is the default column (e.g. SalProcessed) that determines whether a record is included in the work queue. The queuing mechanism expects QueueColumn to have a value of For example, if QueueColumn is SalProcessed, any record where SalProcessed=N will be included in this work queue. As each record is processed, QueueColumn will be set to |
column=value;column=value;... | is a semicolon list of additional conditions (if any) to be met in order for a record to be listed in the work queue. It is not necessary to include any additional conditions. |
Examples
In this first example, a work queue called Image Queue is created in the Births module (Process>Work Queue>Image Queue) for any records where SalProcessed=N:
| Key | Setting |
|---|---|
| Key 1 | Group |
| Key 2 | Admin |
| Key 3 | Table |
| Key 4 | ebirths |
| Key 5 | Work Queue |
| Key 6 | Image Queue |
| Value | SalProcessed |
If we wanted to add a second queue to the Births module, we would add a second Work Queue Registry entry:
| Key | Setting |
|---|---|
| Key 1 | Group |
| Key 2 | Admin |
| Key 3 | Table |
| Key 4 | ebirths |
| Key 5 | Work Queue |
| Key 6 | BRS Images |
| Value | RegImageLoaded;MulTitle=BRS |
A work queue called BRS Images will be added to the Process>Work Queue menu in the Births module and will include any records where RegImageLoaded=N and MulTitle=BRS. As each record is processed, RegImageLoaded will be set to Y.
