Output Control

The Output Control tab enables you to print a control label when a part is requested rather than having to wait for the parts room to issue it. Also, if you do not have a default label printer you can use this tab to specify one.

Tip: To limit the display of information in the grid and maximize performance, use the filter. You can sort on request ID, location ID, equipment ID, date and time entered, and work order location/year/number, among other values. Request IDs display in descending order by default, but you can change the sort order.
