Transcript of Optimizing WERCS. Products Product Groups –A Product or Alias is always a Product Group of itself...
![Page 1: Optimizing WERCS. Products Product Groups –A Product or Alias is always a Product Group of itself –Organization and reporting Product Lines Typical Customer.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649e995503460f94b9c568/html5/thumbnails/1.jpg)
Optimizing WERCS
![Page 2: Optimizing WERCS. Products Product Groups –A Product or Alias is always a Product Group of itself –Organization and reporting Product Lines Typical Customer.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649e995503460f94b9c568/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Products
![Page 3: Optimizing WERCS. Products Product Groups –A Product or Alias is always a Product Group of itself –Organization and reporting Product Lines Typical Customer.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649e995503460f94b9c568/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• Product Groups– A Product or Alias is always a Product Group of itself– Organization and reporting
• Product Lines• Typical Customer Order• Kits• Operational Category• Functional (system) Category
– Bulk operations• Publishing• Rule application• Wizard application• Bulk data changes• Revision/Authorization updates (in Group Wizard)
![Page 4: Optimizing WERCS. Products Product Groups –A Product or Alias is always a Product Group of itself –Organization and reporting Product Lines Typical Customer.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649e995503460f94b9c568/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Product Group Population– Manual– Via SQL Rules/Scripting– Group Wizard
• Common Formula Element• Common Name element• Common Phrase• Customer Association
![Page 5: Optimizing WERCS. Products Product Groups –A Product or Alias is always a Product Group of itself –Organization and reporting Product Lines Typical Customer.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649e995503460f94b9c568/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• Aliases– Best when formula is identical and most/all data is
common amongst a group of documents and must be kept synchronized.
– Data is stored only at parent Product unless an Alias Attribute is used to override a piece of main Product data
– Sample Uses:• Alternate Product Names• Branding• Package Size
![Page 6: Optimizing WERCS. Products Product Groups –A Product or Alias is always a Product Group of itself –Organization and reporting Product Lines Typical Customer.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649e995503460f94b9c568/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Generics– Best when low to medium amounts of data
are common amongst a group of Products and must be kept synchronized.
• Formula synchronization is optional• Data elements (e.g. pH) are marked generic at
either the subformat or generic group level• Data is physically stored for each generic
member and generic elements are kept synchronized by the system

• Product Copy – Best when using a product/MSDS data
load as a general starting point.– Data is physically duplicated to copy target– Data is not kept synchronized by the
system
![Page 8: Optimizing WERCS. Products Product Groups –A Product or Alias is always a Product Group of itself –Organization and reporting Product Lines Typical Customer.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649e995503460f94b9c568/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Format vs. Subformat
![Page 9: Optimizing WERCS. Products Product Groups –A Product or Alias is always a Product Group of itself –Organization and reporting Product Lines Typical Customer.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649e995503460f94b9c568/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Formats – Define a pool of available data elements to
be tracked in the system– Different Formats do not share data for
common data elements
![Page 10: Optimizing WERCS. Products Product Groups –A Product or Alias is always a Product Group of itself –Organization and reporting Product Lines Typical Customer.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649e995503460f94b9c568/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Subformats– Represent presentation structures
(document templates) sourcing from a common pool of data elements (a format)
– Subformats of a given format share data for common data elements
![Page 11: Optimizing WERCS. Products Product Groups –A Product or Alias is always a Product Group of itself –Organization and reporting Product Lines Typical Customer.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649e995503460f94b9c568/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Subformat Usages – Don’t limit yourself to SDSes!– Label Information Organization– Trem Card– TDS– Reports– Data Entry Organization– Plant Instructions– Employee Safety Cards– Marketing Info
![Page 12: Optimizing WERCS. Products Product Groups –A Product or Alias is always a Product Group of itself –Organization and reporting Product Lines Typical Customer.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649e995503460f94b9c568/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Publishing
![Page 13: Optimizing WERCS. Products Product Groups –A Product or Alias is always a Product Group of itself –Organization and reporting Product Lines Typical Customer.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649e995503460f94b9c568/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Subformat-Language Linkage
• Publish without unauthorizing previous documents
• Alt+All PDF Preview
• WERCS PDF Engine available (in place of Acrobat Distiller)
• Publish from Interfaces – FI, Orders
![Page 14: Optimizing WERCS. Products Product Groups –A Product or Alias is always a Product Group of itself –Organization and reporting Product Lines Typical Customer.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649e995503460f94b9c568/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• Publisher– Bulk publish by Product Group(s)– Publish all Aliases as well as parent
Product– All items in group published to same
combination of subformats and languages
![Page 15: Optimizing WERCS. Products Product Groups –A Product or Alias is always a Product Group of itself –Organization and reporting Product Lines Typical Customer.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649e995503460f94b9c568/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Document Queue– Add items to a queue for later publishing in
bulk (queue up individual publishes)– Items are of varying subformat/language
combinations– Base Set
• Define a combination of Formats/Subformats/Languages/Authorizations you can pick in a single operation for queueing publishes
![Page 16: Optimizing WERCS. Products Product Groups –A Product or Alias is always a Product Group of itself –Organization and reporting Product Lines Typical Customer.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649e995503460f94b9c568/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
