How Does "FETCH" Availability Work?

  • Updated

Overview

When opening up a project element that has the conflict column enabled and has over 300 line items, your inventory availability will need to be "fetched" in order to see if you have the proper quantity available for the date range of the element. Within the "Details" tab of the element, you'll see a "FETCH" button above the detail block that you will click to load line items availability.
As of the 0.27.97 version, availability will now auto-fetch for any elements that have under 300 line items. Click here to learn more about that improvement.
Please note: when all subtotals are collapsed on an element and the line items within the subtotal equal over 50, you will receive the "Fetch Confirmation" prompt. Upon clicking “Yes” in the prompt, you may experience a delay in the time it takes to load availability for all line items. The Fetch Function works by only gathering what is in view. Collapsed subtotals can put all line items in view and cause a slow down due to the amount of requests. To avoid this, select "No" in the prompt and uncollapse the subtotals (by double-clicking the Description column) before hitting the “FETCH” button or click the  Options menu of a subtotal and select Refresh Availability to load availability only for that subtotal.
 
 

How the "FETCH" Availability works:

  • Opening an Equipment List, Financial or Crew Call document will not auto-load its line item’s availability on the Details tab when there's over 300 line items.
  • A gray indicator with tooltip will show you that availability needs to be fetched.
  • Hitting the FETCH button will initialize availability fetch of currently visible line items in your view.
  • The status info in the top bar will show you the current processing line item’s count.
  • Once initialized, the FETCH button will disappear and won’t reappear until you manually hit the Refresh icon located at the bottom in the right bar.
  • Once initialized, scrolling will add newly rendered lines to the fetch queue and their availability will load.
  • In the Options menu on each resource line, there is now an option to Refresh Availability on demand. If the line has contents, then all of it’s contents will also get their availability loaded. The same is true with the menu on each Subtotal/Group line.
  • This will put these line items to the top of the fetch queue. If you are waiting on the availability queue to be finished and you execute this manual availability reload, availabilities will show up for these lines first.

  • Adding/Editing line items will load/reload availability for that line & its children.

    The existing Refresh button will no longer fetch availability after refreshing the grid.
