Limit On Vendor Buttons

Post by ricmorin »

It appears there is a limit to 10 electronic vendors on the 6.5 screen.This limit appears to be a real estate issue on the smallest window allowed. We have 12 and are forced to choose who we not going to do business with. Will this limit be lifted any time soon?

ok, dumb idea maybe. Can you place ten on one computer and on another computer put on the 8 duplicate and the "other 2"? It would be a pain, but it might work. I know that here my boss has Auto Zone on his, i don't. When i need to look something up on the zone, i just jump on his quick. I dont order anything from the zone unless i have to, and hate that 5th button. (type A personality)

Good idea, but not practical. We like to set up all the workstations the same. My SA needs access to all our available online vendors. We took 2 of our less used links out to accommodate WorldPac which lives on the end of the string of buttons and gets bumped off when you add the 11th. Code needs to be added to either add a scroll bar when needed or a second row created when more than 10 buttons exist.

It would be nice to know what plans are in place for this limitation. My guess is there will be more protocols coming in the future. Maybe I'm the first to bump my head on this ceiling. :shock: I doubt it.

I again bring this subject up. Any news on lifting the 10 button limit?

Yes I thought we'd done this already based on this conversation. I'll check the pipeline.

EDIT: We do have a story in development for 14; it has to be finished up.
