New! InnoVint's Recommended Print Options

Original Print Options

  • Basic browser version

    Prints the work order in the same format as viewed in the browser. You can print this page or Save as PDF.

  • Simplified vessel view

    Opens a new tab where users can print a version of the work order that consolidates the vessels into groups, similar to the summarized view. Allow the interface to load, then click the button at the top to print, which opens up the printer dialog box. 

    📌 This option will be removed in the future.

The new summarized view and vessel list options are designed to be printed in landscape on letter size paper. The original basic browser version and simplified vessel view can be printed in portrait or landscape. 


New Summarized View

Layout

Here's the nitty gritty on all the components in the new summarized work order print view:


Work Order Headers

A full header only appears on the first page of the summarized view. Any following pages will only print the Work Order title in the header.

QR Codes in Work Order Headers can be scanned using a handheld scanner, and will pull up the Work Order in the Desktop app, allowing for faster data entry. 

Task Properties

Task properties on all work orders include:

  • A task number (these are sequential from top to bottom)
  • The task name
  • Notes
    • If notes are saved on the task, the entire note text is printed along with the name of the user that saved the note, as well as the date and time the note was saved.
    • If a note is not saved on the task, NOTES will print without any additional text. This allows users the space to write in any notes, if needed.

Task Details

The specific elements included in the task details follow a general layout dependent on the task type and complexity. Here are a few highlights:

Lot and Vessel Details

Each selected lot and its vessels are contained within their own box.

  • Lot Properties are printed at the top of the box.
  • Vessel Rows are printed below the lot properties and each row represents a unique combination of vessel type and capacity. 
    • If you choose “Let cellar staff choose vessels,” the printed work order will include two blank vessel rows.

    • If you “Choose specific vessels,” the printed work order will summarize the selected vessels and print the total requested values.

  • Explanation of blank input fields and printed values: Total Starting, Total Add/Total Remove, and Total Ending
    • The printed values represent the total sum of the summarized vessels. Vessel-by-vessel values are only printed using the "Summarized View and Vessel List."
    • By default, only the requested Total Starting and Total Add/Total Remove values are printed. The Total Ending value is left blank unless Relative Volume Functionality is used (see note below).
    • Requested amounts to remove are printed as negative numbers, and amounts to add are printed as positive numbers.

Relative Volume Functionality 

If a task has had relative volume functionality applied, the printed work order will print the requested values (either "to remove" or "ending fill") in the appropriate column.

Task Summary

The task summary immediately follows each printed task. The summary condenses the task details into lot and vessel counts.

In general, the summary includes a lot count (with or without Lees), as well as a vessel count by type (this is different than the summarized vessel count that groups vessels by type and capacity). Other non-lot inventory types (e.g. additives, samples, bottling formats, etc.) might also be counted in the summary.

Work Order Completion Details 

The completion details are printed at the bottom of the last page of the summarized view. This provides space for cellar staff to sign off on the completed work.

New Summarized View with Vessel List

The Summarized View with Vessel List will include:

Task Details

The work order will print the same summarized lot property and vessel view for all tasks, and task details, per the section above.

Vessel List

The work order will print an additional page listing the individual vessels involved for each task. 

  • Individual Vessel Rows are printed below the lot properties.

    • If you choose “Let cellar staff choose vessels”

      The text “No vessels selected” is printed below the lot properties.

    • If you “Choose specific vessels”

      Vessels are arranged in two columns. 

  • Explanation of blank input fields and printed values: Total Starting, Total Add/Total Remove, and Total Ending
    • The input field for dip measurement is always included for all vessels, even if dip charts are not enabled or the vessel type does not support dip charts.
    • Requested amounts to remove are printed as negative numbers, and amounts to add are printed as positive numbers.
    • By default, only the requested Starting and Add/Remove values are printed. The Ending and Dip Measurement values are left blank unless relative volume functionality is used, per the below note.

📌 RELATIVE VOLUME FUNCTIONALITY

If a task has had relative volume functionality applied, the printed work order will print the requested values in the appropriate column.


Multi-Task Work Orders

Each task in a multi-task work order prints on a separate page for both the summarized view and vessel list.


Skipped Tasks

Skipped tasks are not included in the printed summarized view or vessel list.

    • The work order header will count all tasks, including the skipped task. For example, a work order contains 3 tasks and 1 is skipped. The work order header will count 3 total tasks.
    • The task number in the task properties will not include the skipped task. For example, a work order contains 3 tasks (Rack, Analysis, then Addition) and the Analysis task (2nd task) is skipped. The task number for Rack is 1, and the task number for Addition is 2.

QR Codes

QR Codes in Work Order Headers can be scanned using a handheld scanner, or the QR Code scanner in the desktop application. This will pull up the Work Order within the same browser window of the Desktop app, allowing for faster data entry. More information about QR Code scanning functionality can be found here.


Optimizing Printer Settings 

In some instances, you may need to adjust your printer settings for optimal experience.

In the print dialog in Chrome:

1. Click 'More Settings"
2. Set Margins to "minimum"
3. Toggle OFF "Headers and footers"
4. Toggle ON "Background graphics"


Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Why are values missing/different when I print a submitted work order?

The new work order print designs are optimized for open work orders. The default behavior is to print requested values instead of actual when appropriate. Only the Starting and Add/Remove amounts are printed, leaving the Ending and Dip Measurement values empty (with some exceptions). If a user would like to print the work order after submission (or include the actual values instead of the requested), we recommend printing the basic browser version.
