Anago FAQs

It is possible for the user to manually enter data in some views. The way of entering the data differs per view. The different possibilities will be explained below.

Normal Input of Data

Numbers

Numbers can directly be typed into a cell when that cell is editable (recognizable by a blue color). The application will automatically convert the entered values to the correct format, such as decimals, currencies and/or percentages.

The image below is an example of an editable cell with the percentage format. After entering the number 50.2 the application automatically recognizes the point as a comma and displays the number as a percentage.

Booleans

A cell with a boolean, or yes/no value, is represented by a check box.These cells can take two or three different values depending on the view:

True/Yes

False/No

Not available/Null

When a specific boolean cell is selected, you can switch between the available values by using the space bar.

Relations

A cell containing a relation is shown as a text field with the following button:$waarde$.These fields can be filled in two ways, namely by using the keyboard or by clicking on the relation icon.

Keyboard: By typing in the relation value (or part of it) in the text field, a list will appear with all the relation options that contain this text. Choose from this list by clicking on the desired name.

Relation icon:When clicking on the icon that appears in the text field($waarde$)a list opens. The user can select the desired relationship from this list.

Dates (calendar)

Some cells in Anago have a date format. This can be in regular cells, but also in relation cells. In both cases, the desired value can be selected by directly typing into the cell, or by using the button$waarde$. Since release 065, cells with dates can be displayed in two different ways. In some cases, a list of dates will appear to be chosen from, in the same way as described above under 'relations'. In most cases, however, a calendar will appear, within which the correct date can be selected. This calendar looks like this:

Since release 065, cells with dates can be displayed in two different ways. In some cases, a list of dates will appear to be chosen from, in the same way as described above under 'relations'. In most cases, however, a calendar will appear, within which the correct date can be selected. This calendar looks like this:.

Subsequently, all months of the current year will be shown. When this bar is clicked again, an overview of 12 consecutive years is shown. When the year and month are selected, a week can be selected by clicking on the relevant week number, a day can be selected by clicking on the relevant date. It may be that there is already a pre-selection on the selectable data.

The image below is an example where only the months of a year can be selected.

A search bar is located at the bottom of the calendar view. A specific date can be searched for in this search bar, or a time concept can be entered that will be searched for. Examples of timeframes that can be entered are: 'today', 'tomorrow', 'yesterday', '1week', '2weeks' and 'monday' (or any other day of the week).

Text

Text can be entered into editable (blue colored) cells as a text consisting of one or more lines of text.

In the first case, the user can click in the text field to enter text. To confirm the typed text the user can press the enter key, the tab key, or one of the arrows. The user can also click in a different cell to confirm the typed text. To cancel the typed text, the escape key can be used inside the cell. Toremove the entered text, the cell can be selected, after which the delete or escape key can be used.In the image below, the cell is typed at the top right.

In the second case: When the$waarde$-iconis clicked, the textbox 'Zoom text' opens, in which the desired text can be typed. Then click on 'Save' to save the typed text. To adjust the content of a cell you can double click in that cell.

Links

In textfields it is, besides regular text, also possible to type a link. In case someone types a link, it will be recognized as a link and usable.

When a component has been selected for a specific process in the application menu, the corresponding view opens.

Tabs

A view component can consist of multiple tabs, which show additional information of the selected process component. By clicking on a tab, the corresponding information is displayed. In the image above there is a choice between 'Resources' and 'Financieel', where the 'Resources' tab is currently selected. These tabs are part of the example image 'Strategische Behoefte'.

Navigation

It is possible that tables are larger than the screen size. There are several possibilities to navigate through these tables in Anago. If the table is too large for the screen, there will be scroll bars below and/or to the right of the table.

The arrow buttons at the end of the scroll bar and the scroll bar itself can be used by clicking on it with the mouse. The table below explains the different functions:

$schuiflinks$$schuifrechts$

Shifts the screen to the left and to the right

$schuifomhoog$$schuifomlaag$

Shifts the screen up and down

By clicking on the scroll bar, holding it with the mouse and moving the mouse in the direction of the scroll bar, the screen shifts in the desired direction

$schuiflinks2$$schuifomhoog2$

By using these buttons, the screen sprints directly to the very end of the screen, in the direction of the chosen arrow

An arbitrary cell within a table can also be selected, after which the keyboard can be used to navigate through the table. The table below explains the different keys:

The arrow keys (left / right / up / down)

Moves the cell selection a cell left / right / up / down

Tab

Moves the cell selection to a cell to the right up to and including the end of the row

Page up/down

Moves the rows shown in the table up or down a page

When the last cell in a row of a table is selected, in most cases the selection will jump to the first cell of the next row when the right arrow or tab key is used. When the last cell of the last row of the table is selected, nothing will happen.

Filter

Another possibility to display information in Anago is by means of tables and/or graphs with a filter. In that case there is a filter above the relevant table/graph, in which the desired data selection can be selected.

Select this by using the filter button ($waarde$),after which the table or graph will display the information concerning this specific group, department or time frame for example.

Tooltip

It is also possible that fields contain extra information. There are two cases of extra information. One way extra information can be visible is by hovering over a field.

The other possibility is in case of a green information icon. By clicking on that icon extra information about the corresponding cell will become visible.

When a component has been selected for a specific process in the application menu, the corresponding view opens.A view shows the results of a model or statistical report in the form of tables and graphs. A view consists of general toolbars and table or graph specific toolbars.

Toolbar

The following options are offered in the toolbar:

$pijllinks$

Close view

This option closes the view and returns to the application menu. When relevant, Anago asks the user whether changes should be saved before closing the screen.

$opslaan$

$tandwiel$

Run model

This option runs the model with the entered data. It differs per view exactly what this means, examples are: 'calculate results' and 'initialize'.

$potlood$

Adjust preselection

This option is only available in views with a preselection menu. With a pre-selection menu the user chooses what will be shown in the view to be opened. If this is the case, a previously selected selection can be adjusted via this button.

Tables and Graphs - Toolbar

The toolbar for tables and graphs can be called by clicking on the corresponding icon ($hamburger$)at the top left of the table or graph. A list will then appear with the applicable buttons. The table below explains the various options in the toolbar.

Search in the whole table

This allows you to search. After clicking on 'Search' the first hit appears. For the next hit, click on 'Search' again.

Export table / chart

This option exports the entire view or the selected table or chart to an Excel, CSV or PDF file.

Edit Axes

This option allows you to edit the axes and to transpose the table (swap the rows and columns). Further explanation about this function can be found under this table.

Show / hide empty rows

This option shows or hides empty rows in the table.

Show / hide empty columns

This option shows or hides empty columns in the table.

Save as report

This option allows you to save the current view as a report. More information about reports can be found here.

Add new item

This option can be used to add a new item in the table, such as a new employee or a new cost item.

Show / hide filter options

After activating this option, a triangle symbol appears on the columns. When you click on this symbol, you can search in the relevant column or sort the column.

Edit axes When this option is chosen, the pop-up window shown below appears. The window is divided into 4 parts: 'Page filter', 'Columns', 'Rows' and 'Variable / fact position'.

The first three components display the items in the table, and whether they are on the filter, columns, or rows. The location of the items can be adjusted by means of the buttons located to the right of the screen item. To do this, first select the desired item. Then the $rijen$moves the item to the rows, the button$kolommen$moves the item to the rows, the button$filter$to the filter and the order of the items with respect to the other items can be determined with the arrows ($blauwepijlomhoog$,$blauwepijlomlaag$). In the image above, Status is in the filter. In the rows all projects will be shown on the left, after which all employees will be shown per project in the next column. The months are shown in the columns.

Adding new items (dimensions)

In some views it is possible to add new rows in a table, such as adding new employees or new activities. When the relevant table is selected, the 'Add new' -button in the menu of the table can be clicked (left image). A new row will then appear, after which the desired data can be entered. New rows can also be added by clicking on the green cross in the table (see right image).

To add the labels for the new item, click on the pencil ($editlabel$) in the cell.A new window will then appear in which the data can be entered. When the standard label is changed and the option "Copy standard label to unchanged labels" is checked, the other cells will be adjusted automatically. The short labels are used for example in tables and graphs to save space.

In addition to the labels, all customizable cells of the new item can be modified, an item can be deleted ($roodkruis$)and placed up ($dimensieomhoog$) or down ($dimensieomlaag$)in the list of items.

Buttons in the view

There are two important buttons in a view that appear with tables and graphs; One to run the model and one to add a new dimension to a table.

Run model

The button that allows a model to run in a corresponding table can be recognized as follows:$tandwiel$. This button is accompanied in each screen by a caption that makes clear what the model calculates or what the button function is.

An example of this button:.

Add new dimension

A new dimension can be added to a table by clicking on the following icon:$groeneplus2$.This button also has a caption in each screen that makes it clear which addition this button allows.

An example of this button:.

Buttons in a table

Besides all the functionalities described above, there is also a possibility to use column specific buttons. By clicking on a columnheader an arrow will become visible. With one click on that arrow you will get the possibility to either search in the corresponding column or sort the column ascending or descending.

The Application Menu is the main screen within the application, in which the user has the possibility to open views and reports. The user only sees the parts of the process to which he is authorized. When a component of a process is clicked, a new view opens. When a component of the report type (Users or Shared Reports) is opened, the corresponding report is opened.

Calendar

reports

When the date at the top right of the screen is clicked, the calendar will appear. Within this calendar a specific date, week, month or year can be selected when you are in the application list or in the application menu. The time period selected in one of these screens will remain selected in all screens that are then opened.Selecting a specific date is relevant in time-dependent views. In these views the displayed data depends on a certain time period that is selected in the calendar. This applies to many views, although not all views are time-dependent.

To select a time period, the months and years can be navigated by clicking on the arrows left and right of the current month / year. It is also possible to quickly navigate through the years and months by working at a higher level in the calendar. Click on the month / year bar for this; . Subsequently, all months of the current year will be shown.When this bar is clicked again, an overview of 12 consecutive years is shown.

When the year and month are selected, a week can be selected by clicking on the relevant week number and a day can be selected by clicking on the relevant date.

A search bar is located at the bottom of the calendar view. With this search bar, a specific date can be searched for, or a time concept can be entered that will be searched for. Examples of time concepts that can be entered are: 'today', 'tomorrow', 'yesterday', '1week', '2weeks', '1 year' and 'Monday' (or any other day of the week).

Application Processes

The application processes are the names for the process components and are displayed in the top line of the screen. In the image below, which shows an example of the application menu, 'Project Portfolio Management' and 'Strategische Planning' are application processes for the blue and purple colored process components respectively. The associated process components are displayed under the relevant application process. Only the application processes for which the user is authorized are displayed.

Application Process Components

The application process components are the (blue and purple in the image) blocks that fall under a certain application process. When a specific process component is clicked, the corresponding screen opens for the time period selected in the calendar. With the search bar at the top of the screen, process components can be searched for within the application. By clicking on the icon ($stopzoeken$) next to the search bar, the search is canceled.

Reports

Thesectionincludes all user reports and shared reports stored within the application.

A view shows the results of a model or statistical report in the form of tables and graphs. A view can consist of one or more tabs and / or view components. Of the various view components which are explained below, the drill-down view is an important and often recurring phenomenon.

Tables and Graphs

The tables and graphs show the information in a view. Light-colored cells are 'read-only' and dark-colored cells are editable.

Some cells contain a 'choose value variable' ($waarde$) button. This button can indicate three situations. The button can indicate that the relevant field consists of a text box with multiple lines of text, that the cell value can be chosen from an existing list, or that the cell value can be chosen in a calendar view.

In the second case, this means that the information displayed depends on the selected cell value. When clicking on the 'choose value variable' button, values can be chosen by selecting the relevant value in the displayed selection list, or the preferred value can be searched using the search bar (see figure below).

drill-down

The third situation contains a calendar. In some situations data is displayed as a list box as described above, but in most situations a calendar will appear. This looks like this:

To select a time period, the months and years can be navigated by clicking on the arrows left and right of the current month / year. It is also possible to quickly navigate through the years and months by working at a higher level in the calendar. Click on the month / year bar for this;.Subsequently all months of the current year will be shown. When this bar is clicked again, an overview of 12 consecutive years is shown.When the year and month are selected, a week can be selected by clicking on the relevant week number, a day can be selected by clicking on the relevant date. It may be that there is already a pre-selection on the selectable data. The image below is an example where only the months of a year can be selected.

A search bar is located at the bottom of the calendar view. A specific date can be searched for in this search bar, or a time concept can be entered that will be searched for. Examples of timeframes that can be entered are: 'today', 'tomorrow', 'yesterday', '1week', '2weeks' and 'monday' (or any other day of the week).

Drill-down views appear in many tables. These drill-downs contain deeper information about the cell in question.

For more information about Data entry orviews, click on the relevant topic.

Drill-down

Some tables in the application contain a drill-down. A drill-down is a special view that is opened within another ('main') view. The cells that contain a drill-down can be recognized when the user moves the cursor over the cell in question. The cells with a drill-down will change from their original color to white. When one of these cells is clicked, the drill-down opens, revealing more information about this cell. This information can be viewed and / or changed.

For example, in the image below, there is a drill-down in the 'Progress' column. The cursor is kept here on the second cell in the column causing it to turn white.

When the drill-down cell is clicked, the drill-down opens in a new window as shown in the image below. The functioning of the toolbars and buttons within a drill-down are the same as those of a view.

Local Application Menu

On the left side of the view there is an arrow ($applicatiemenu$). When this arrow is clicked on, a menu containing all the views of the application will appear. When clicking on this arrow again (pointing to the left), the menu dissapears. In this menu, there is an overview of all processes and process components of the application. When clicking on one of the process components, the relevant view for the selected time period (in the calendar) will open.When changes have been made to the current view, the application will first ask the user if these changes should be saved.

In the Anago applications it is possible to copy and paste data. This can be done by selecting and copying the desired cell content, after which it can be pasted into the desired target cell. There are three different copy and paste methods.

Copying a single cell: Select a cell and then use the key combination 'Ctrl + C' or the 'Copy' ($kopieer1$) - button to copy the cell. Select the cell in which the text has to be pasted, and use the keyboard shortcut 'Ctrl + V' or the 'Paste' ($plak$) - buttonto paste the cell.

To copy the cell:

After copying the cell:

Copying a single cell to multiple cells:

Select a cell and then use the key combination 'Ctrl + C' or the 'Copy' ($kopieer1$)-button to copy the cell. Then select the area to which the cell should be copied, by clicking in a corner of this area and then dragging the mouse to the opposite corner of the desired area. Then use the key combination 'Ctrl + V' or the 'Paste'($plak$)-button to paste the cell.

To copy the cell - selection area of 5x4:

After copying the cell:

Copying multiple cells to multiple cells:

Select the desired range of the cells that has to be copied, then use the key combination 'Ctrl + C' or the 'Copy' ($kopieer1$)-button to copy the cell.

Then select the area to which the cells are to be copied, this does not have to correspond exactly to the original range in terms of size.Then use the key combination 'Ctrl + V' or the 'Paste'($plak$)-button to paste the cells.

To copy the cells - selection area of 2x3:

During the copying of the cells:

After copying the cells:

Be careful when copying multiple cells to a different dimension. In most cases, the copied area retains its original range, such as when the target area is of equal size, when the area is larger than the original range, and when only one cell is selected.When an area is selected that is between one cell and the original range in size, the copy is adapted to this area.

Copying data from Excel to Anago and vice versa:

Data can also be copied to Anago from an Excel file and vice versa. This works in the same way as explained above.

It is possible to print and/or save the entire view as a PDF-file or an Excel-file. You can also print and/or save a specific table or graph of a view separately.Both options are explained here.

Printing the whole view

The toolbar is located at the top left of the view.When the export icon($exporteren$)is clicked, a dialog will be opened so that the entire screen can be exported.

As shown in the image above, you can choose to export to Excel, or export the view to a PDF file. These options will be explained below.

Printing a specific table/graph

If you want an export of a specific table or graph, the menu of that table can be opened. The option export table can then be chosen inside this menu. Then, the dialog in the image below will be opened. Here, you also have the possibility to export the whole view.

As shown in the image above, you can choose to export to Excel, a CSV file or export the view to a PDF file. These options will be explained below.

Exporting to Excel or CVS (comma seperated file)

Exporting to Excel is possible with the button:$excel$and exporting to a CSV file with the button:$csv$.

When one of these options is chosen, the file will be downloaded directly within the browser. You can then choose to save the file directly to the computer or to open the file.

Exporting to a PDF file

When choosing to export a PDF file, several options will appear, as shown in the image above.

First, the desired paper size can be selected, where you can choose between A4 or A3 format.

Then you can choose to adapt the format of the image to the page (both the height and width). There is also a possibility to adapt only the height or only the width to the page. Another possibility is to select the option where no adjustments are made. These options will scale the table or graph such that they will fit in your preference.

Lastly, you have the option to select landscape orientation or portrait orientation.

At the right side of the dialog, if possible, an example of the exported page is shown.When the desired options are selected, you can press the 'Export' or 'Cancel' button.

There are some specific options within views that contain a report. These options will be described and explained below.

Flexible reports

A view with a report can contain a selection menu. These reports are called flexible reports.

When a view that contains a flexible report is opened, then first a selection wizard is opened. In the selection wizard a preselection can be made on one or more dimensions before they are shown in the view. For example, there is the possibility to select certain months,weeks or days within a year, or selecting a specific department within an organization.

If there is a hierarchy within a dimension, this dimension can be shown as a full list of all the items, or per dimension item. In the example below, the list of employees is shown per department.

By clicking on the arrows Application Menu in front of the departments a list with all the underlying employees will be unfolded. To select employees, you have to toggle the box in front of the employee. To select an entire department, you have to toggle the box in front of the department (instead of the box in front of the employee). All the underlying items will then be selected automatically.

It is also possible to search in the list of items. Type the desired item in the search bar, and click 'Search'. The searched item will then appear, if present. With the 'Select all' and 'Select none' buttons you can select all items in the list or remove them from the selection at once.

When the desired items are selected, you can choose 'previous' or 'next'. In the latter case the wizard goes to the next selection step, until all the steps have been completed and you can click on 'Finish'. The desired report will then be shown.

Saving reports

In some views you have the option to save reports as personal reports or as shared reports.

When this option is present in the menu bar of the relevant table and the 'Save as report' button is clicked, the following dialog box opens:

There are two types of reports:

My reports

This is the standard option; enter your desired name of your report in the dialog and press the save button.

Shared reports

When you select the option Share in the above dialog, the report will be saved automatically as a shared report

These stored reports can then be found in the.

When a report is saved, it does not record the current data at that time, but only the selected items. This means that changes in the regular views will be visible in the saved reports.

When the construction icon is clicked and the page Administrative Tools is opened, then the following menu will appear:

The options Manage Users, Assign Applications and User Report will be explained.
