Organizing and Sorting Transactions

WAMS makes it easy to manage high transaction traffic. You could view every transaction in the system, real time. However, in large systems where hundreds of transactions can occur in a very short time, you may want to limit the transactions displayed, or group them in a way that makes sense for system activity. For example, you can limit the transactions list to only those that occurred in the last ten minute timespan; you can sort ascending or descending by column header; and you can arrange the columns in any order you wish. In addition, you can create a hierarchy, rather than a columnar view.

Display by Timespan 

By default, WAMS Transactions displays all transactions in the order they occur. If you are monitoring all transactions, you may want to simply watch them as they occur. However, in large systems, your effort may best be served by limiting transactions to only those that have occurred in the previous ten minutes, or previous hour. WAMS gives you a number of options from All to year to date.

To set the display timespan:

1. In the Transactions, select the Facility you wish to monitor.

2. Under Timespan, select the timespan you wish to display from the drop-down list. The display list on the right changes to reflect your selection.

NOTE: You can choose to always show the last transaction, no matter how you configure your display. Select Show Transaction at the top of the display. 

Sort by Column Header

You can sort WAMS Transactions by column header in ascending or descending order. This is helpful, depending on what you are looking for. If you simply want to watch transactions in the order they occur, the default setting—sorted by ID, descending—will display the most recent transaction on the top line of the list. However, if you have an interest in viewing all the activity of a particular user, you can sort alphabetically by User credential. As with common database programs, you can move the columns in the column header to any order you wish. WAMS Transactions will remember your changes and display in the new order when you next open the program.

View Transactions in Tree Levels

You can display transactions similar to the way you view the Facility Tree in WAMS Configurator. This is useful to minimize and organize the amount of data you view at one time. It's easy to create a Transaction tree: simply drap and drop the column headers in the gray area just above the headers.
