The first thing to note about your home page is the main menu located at the top of the page, which has the following look:

Click on a menu item above to get more information.

The main menus have the following functions:

  • Manage: manage users, user groups, items, suppliers, entities, rules, work centers, work groups, and alerts.
  • Actions: perform card-related actions without the use of a scanner, such as ship and receive.
  • Reports: view the status of your orders and Kanban "health", and export report data to Excel for further analysis.
  • Print: print Kanban cards.
  • Scan: receive, release, accept, and perform other actions using a scanner.

The home page of the CEK system has up to five sections (depending on your role):

  1. Alerts: shows a list of alerts related to orders and order exceptions. Click on an alert to review the details.
  2. Inventory Health: highlights Kanban parts based on their color coded status. A red highlight indicates a likely impending stock-out scenario. Yellow indicates items that may require attention. This panel also displays the on-hand inventory and provides a compact picture of the item pipeline.
  3. Planned Orders: shows you the forecasted/planned orders for the week and page selected.
  4. Active Orders: shows orders due and their due date and orders that currently have an exception. You may also see called off orders when applicable.
  5. Integration Status: lists the integration status for items that have failed, items that are pending, and successfully integrated ones over the last seven days. If you click any of the links in any of the columns (Failed, Pending, Success), you will be taken to the Integration Status report.

To minimize any panel, click the double up arrow (icon-minimize group) at the top-right of the panel.

You may filter either the Active or Planned Orders using the Dash Board Filter dialog by clicking the Advanced Filter link.
