Quick Pallet Maker allows the user to enter a code and a description for the primary packages that are used in calculations. To do this within the application (it can also be done by editing the text input files), open a new window starting from primary packages. |
 |
The next step is to click on the package drawing with the right mouse button (ctrl+click on a one-button Mac) and select "Description" from the pull-down menu. |
 |
This opens a small window in which we can add the code and description of the package. |
 |
Clicking on "OK" will save the information. The next step is to calculate the pallet arrangements. |
 |
Since the report options in the Detailed Report window do not show the primary package information, we can see it through the Bill Of Materials pallet export option. This HTML export uses a XSLT template (located in the Templates folder) that can be edited by people knowledgeable of XSLT to create custom reports. |
 |
When the resulting file has been saved, it can be opened using a web browser to show both the code and the description of the primary packages within the Bill Of Materials. If the pallet XML file is saved, the primary package code and description will also be saved. |
