Frank started the topic Want Rolling 12 but no 12 Months Ago time option in the forum Stratum User Stuff 1 week, 4 days ago
No problem! If you are looking to do Rolling x (commonly 12) in a column but your time selections only go back to 6 months ago you can still easily set up for Rolling x. In this example we’ll use Rolling 12 months as our target.
In the example below we are comparing two columns one for this year and for last year – each represents a rolling 3…[Read more]

Frank started the topic How can I allow a user to import a spreadsheet if they don't see Admin stuff in the forum Stratum Admin and Tech Stuff 1 month, 2 weeks ago
No problem! You can set up access to the Data Import (this function allows a user to import an xls into Stratum – you can see more info on it here.) via a simple User Link. You would add the User Link to a View Group the user already has access to. The Link to the Data Import function would look like https://yourstratum/DataImportListWindow.aspx…[Read more]

Frank started the topic Searching on Customer name vs. Customer number in the forum Stratum Admin and Tech Stuff 2 months, 4 weeks ago
When the search window displays it defaults to customer number – instead of customer name which is what I normally want to search on. Is there a way to change this?

Frank started the topic We added a dashboard as a home page, can I move the favorite and recent window? in the forum Stratum Admin and Tech Stuff 5 months, 2 weeks ago
Adding a dashboard as a home page is now even easier in Stratum with the new Dashboarding features in 7.1. But users might not want the easily accessed Favorite and Recent window to pop up when Stratum starts since it can block the view of their dashboard.
Users can decide if they want the Favorite and Recent window to display at start up.…[Read more]

Frank started the topic Can I combine dashboards so a user sees 2 dashboards at once? in the forum Stratum User Stuff 7 months ago
This is possible in the latest version. The business case for combining two dashboards into one that I’m aware of is:
DB1 is a dashboard that is company level and common to everyone.
DB2 is specific to the users area of responsibility – Sales, Supply Chain, Fin, Prod, etc. or unique to that user.So…first you create the base DB’s (DB1 and DB2…[Read more]
