List Views

When the initial tasks are complete, the Updater utility launches automatically and displays, by default, in the Updates list view, sorted by Type.

This view highlights the reports and forms that have changed since the last time the utility was run. Like the other list views, the Updates list displays across five columns, each of which may be sorted by clicking within the header. The column sort toggles between ascending and descending order with repeated clicking in the same header.

There are several other options for viewing data, including an option for Data Filters, under the View menu. If you wish to filter your list of reports and forms before downloading, choose the option for Data Filters and apply your desired filter(s) before selecting the files you want to download.
Note: Data filters may be applied successively, but each time a filter is applied, all previous selections are erased.

SYSTOC Report - Forms Updater Column Descriptions

Column Description

Accept

A check in this box means you want to accept the file and add it to your inventory. In the Updates list, all items default to Accept.

Note: If an item has a status of Delete, a check in the Accept box means you wish to accept the delete and remove the item from your inventory.

Refuse

A check in this box means you want to refuse a file. If a file is marked Refuse, it will not be displayed in the Updates list again until a newer version is available. A file's Refuse box will be checked in the Updates list if the file was previously refused and now a newer version is available. Such a file will have checks in both the Accept and Refuse boxes, and the user must uncheck Accept to maintain a file status of Refused or uncheck Refuse to download the file.

Status

Current - files that are the same as their counterparts in the SYSTOC database (Inventory view only).

Delete - files marked for deletion. This includes files for reports and forms that are no longer part of the standard sets or files that are no longer valid for the version of SYSTOC you use (Updates view only).

Missing - files accepted previously that are not found in the current inventory.

New - files that are new. Prerelease - files in the user's inventory with more recent dates than their counterparts in the database (Inventory view only).
Note: If you wish to replace a prerelease copy of a report in your inventory with the current (SYSTOC) standard version of the report, you can check the Accept box in the Inventory view to download the report.

Refused - files refused previously (Inventory view only).

Updated - newer versions of existing or refused files.
