Miscellaneous New Features
Back to Top Functionality:
Back to Top button is implemented in all screens where the vertical scroll bar is applicable, so that the user can quickly reach the top of the page from bottom by simply selecting the blue arrow.
Frozen Header, Vertical & Horizontal Anchor Menu's
When scrolling through the UI, the header will be hidden to allow for better utilisation of the full screen.
When reaching the bottom of the page, or triggering the scroll-up, the header and its primary actions will become visible once more.
The horizontal tabs are currently presented in various parts of the Financials application, where there are multiple data grids or inputs on one screen.
Upon zooming in to the screen and scrolling down, the horizontal tabs are now frozen, similarly to the vertical tabs which allow the user to scroll through the screen whilst accessing the primary tabs and actions.
Radio Buttons
Above screenshot shows how radio buttons are displayed in the new UI.
When there are up to 7 radio buttons, they would be accommodated in the same row and if more than 7, in the next row.
Wizard Workflows:
As per the customer feedback we have implemented a wizard style for the Supplier/Customer workflows.
Wizard workflow offers a step-by-step sequence of screens that guide users through the complex process of creating/managing suppliers and customers.
It is a way to break down a larger task into smaller, more manageable steps, making it easier for users to understand and complete the process. Previously users required knowledge of the specific steps to follow to complete a process, users are now better guided to know what the next step in the process is for completion.

Customer Workflow
V1 & Paperclip columns merged.
V1 & Paperclip is merged to the same column in the new UI as shown below in a new column header named ‘Attachments’. The intention of this is to reduce the need for training and confusion caused in having two columns offering attachments and by having a single column which offers both V1 & Paperclip in respective icons.
The new design will cater for the double click which was previously present in the current system.
Paperclip:
Paperclip icon: If there are some records, user can add new attachments via the paperclip icon.
Paperclip with the Add icon: When there are no records, user can add new item immediately. This reflects the double click functionality currently present.
V1 (Read only):
Document icon: shows the V1 records.
No icon: user doesn't have an option to open the empty record.
Advisory Text
Two advisory text messages would be displayed over the AG grid for the first-time users.
Once ‘Got it’ button is clicked, the notification will not appear again for that user. Advisory texts explain about the double click action which is available in AG grid and that scrolling would unselect the rows which aren't visible in the 15-record frame.
Function Search Improvement
In the new UI, users can find a map using the function search which is available on the menu and the home page as shown below.
Search could be executed either by the map id (by replacing ‘M’ in the Map ID by a #) or by Menu Name.
