Manage doors.

To create new doors:

1. Click on the "+" icon or press CTRL+H to create a new height group.
2. Enter the desired height. For example, 18. Press TAB.
3. Enter the desired quantity. For example, 1. Press TAB.
4. Enter the desired width. For example, 12 3/8. Press TAB.
5. Continue to enter all of the 18" high doors, pressing TAB to advance to the next field, or SHIFT+TAB to move backwards.

Things to note:

• There may be multiple door types. These are configured in Admin Tab: Door Shapes.
• Doors are sorted from largest to smallest. Door group heights are sorted when the order is saved and re-loaded.
• If multiple entries exist with doors of identical sizes and attributes, the quantities will be combined into a single entry when the order is saved and re-loaded.
• The door height must be greater than zero!

Removing doors

To remove a single door, change either the quantity or the width to zero. The doors with an invalid quantity or width will be removed when:

1. the order is saved and re-loaded,
2. or when the "broom" icon is clicked to clean up the group,
3. or when CTRL+E tells the Work Order software to clean up empty and invalid rows.

To remove all doors from a specific tab, right-mouse-click on the tab name and select "remove all". For example:

This can also be done to the top "door" tab to remove all doors, regardless of type. For example:

Rails and stiles

Rails and stiles can be set for every door, or can be customized on a door-by-door basis.

Global rails and stiles

To set the global rails and stiles, click on the entryfield with the size of the rails and stiles. This determines the rails and stiles used by any door which does NOT have a local override for rails and stiles.

The copy button copies the top rail to all other fields.

Add custom rails and stiles

To set the rails and stiles on a per-door basis, press CTRL+ENTER or right-mouse-click on either the quantity or the door width. Select or click on "custom rails and stiles".

Customized rails and stiles that differ from the global rails and stiles will be shown beneath the door. For example:

In this example, nine doors will use the global 3" rails and stiles, two doors are set to 2" rails and stiles, and one door has 1 3/4" rails and stiles.

Remove custom rails and stiles

To remove custom rails and stiles, right-mouse-click on either the quantity or the door width. Select or click on "clear custom rails and stiles". For example:

Door details

Similar to custom rails and stiles, the custom door details are accessed either through CTRL+ENTER or with a right-mouse-click on either the quantity or the door width. For example:

The custom door details allow the following to be configured:

Control	Definition
(first slider bar)	Number of vertical panels. Slide to change the value, or click to type a number.
(second slider bar)	Number of horizontal panels. Slide to change the value, or click to type a number.
sample	Doors marked as sample have 10% off on the invoice.
reframe	Build a frame around an existing panel. Invoiced as if it was a 'glass' panel door.
remake	A problem was discovered with the original door, requiring it to be remade. The door will be 100% off on the invoice.
no charge	Similar to remake, the door will be 100% off on the invoice.
use mini panel profile	Some panel profiles have a corresponding 'mini' profile available allowing smaller 5-piece doors to be built. See also Admin Tab: Images
vertical grain	This is the default for doors.
horizontal grain	This is the default for drawers.
no glass panels	This is a normal wood door.
all glass panels	This is a wood frame into which glass panels will be inserted.
mullions	Number and size of mullions. Zero indicates no mullions.
additional comments	Each line of text appears as an additional bullet on printouts.

Door shortcuts

When creating or editing doors, some shortcuts can be used to toggle often-used items from the custom door detail screen. This includes things like glass panels, multiple panels, and several additional comments. All of these are listed on the Keyboard Shortcuts window:

To use the shortcuts, insert a space between the door width and the shortcut. For example, to create a 10" wide door with a glass frame:

10 g

To use more than one shortcut, insert a space between each one. For example, to create a sample door with horizontal grain:

10 s hg
