What is the green Validate bar and why am I seeing it in Order Entry?
Summary
The Validate bar was added to the SalesPRO software when an update was released to speed up a few CBG, Hunter Douglas, or Comfortex products that were particularly slow. When one of these products is selected, the Validate bar appears and causes all options to be processed AFTER all selections have been made,,rather than processing each choice individually. This speeds up these products considerably. In these products, the Validate bar will only show up once you have started entering your choices.
The green Validate bar also shows up when you are editing a line item for any product.
This was also added as a result of speed issues. When opening a line
item for editing, the software will NOT process anything in that line
item until the Validate button is pressed. The benefit of this is
two-fold.
- First, this allows the line item to be opened more quickly. Once opened, you should click the Validate bar before making any changes. If you do not hit the validate bar first and then change the product or the vendor, your Room Location, Width, and Height will be lost.
- Second, if you are viewing an older line item that contains a product that has been updated since the line item was entered, this feature allows you to view the outdated options, choices, and pricing, without updating them to match the newer product in your software. In this case, you would NOT push the Validate button.
