What’s in the video?
The Display time is the actual time when an order switches from the “planned” to the “open” orders. The goal is to only show currently relevant orders in the “open” tab, and queue the orders that become relevant later in the “planned” tab.
The Display time is directly connected to the Pre-display interval. The Pre-display interval defines how much time in advance you want to the orders to switch from “planned” to “open”.
The Pre-display time can be configured globally for each time model, and be overwritten for each order including templates (standing orders).

Hi, in this video, we want to have closer look onto the display time of orders. For that reason, I switched to the dispatch panels and I’ve configured dispatch panel number one to show the planned orders and the dispatch panel number two to show the offered open and dispatched orders. So what does the display time actually mean?
You find it here in the edit dialogue and the options. It means that the job is displayed at, in this case half past one. So before. The orders of the afternoon are waiting in the planned orders and as soon as the time hits the display time they are automatically switched from the planned orders to the open orders.
So it’s just half past two at the moment. So as soon as I change display time here to this, the order switches from the planned orders to the open orders. This basically happens automatically. So let’s set this to a very exact time to illustrate this feature.
And here we are, the job automatically appeared. So basically this play times helps you to move the jobs around between the planned and open orders. For example, you can also select several of them. And set the display time that’s, that is meet right now and you see they are here. You can also order as long as you sort the display by display time.
You can also sort the orders by drag and drop here. So you see you can move them around and actually what you do here is nothing else but this changing display times at the moment, it’s 13:38. And if I move it down here it will be something a little bit higher. Okay. So let’s take one more example.
This job needs to be picked 3:30 pm. I will dispatch it to one of the couriers and I’ll simulate a pickup. So it’s picked up and it goes back to the headquarters. So I would throw it and it’s back here. And you see the job needs to be delivered tomorrow at eight. So to get rid of the order in this list and make it reappear tomorrow in morning, you can simply hover over the time indicator and there’s an edit icon and choose, actually it’s automatic references.
the time of the stop. So two hours in advance makes this six o’clock. If you want to see this order tomorrow at 6 o’clock, you’d simply have to click save or adjust this time. So it’s back in the plant orders and will reappear tomorrow at 7 o’clock. Maybe for a bigger picture, where does do these display times come from?
They come from the time models. You find them under view calculation time models. So for each product or several products, you can define a time model and here. For example, for the bike product, you can choose the lead time that defines the lead time in hours or minutes for a specific time model for all jobs.
So if you set this to 30 minutes, you will see. All jobs of the bike product 30 minutes ahead in the open orders. Of course, you can override this settings for the templates. So for each standing order, you can choose a different lead time that might be much higher to see the job, maybe also the day before in the afternoon. In the end jobs appear in the plant orders. You can rearrange them by drag and drop, or if you don’t like to see them by display time, you can also opt out to order them by pickup time or by delivery time. However, you can only rearrange with drag and drop if you sort by display time. All right, that’s it. Thanks for watching and see you soon. Bye.
