Sales teams (team leader, team members, team series)
A sales team groups sales reps of one branch under a team leader. Teams are set up in Sales Management → Sales Team Management. Teams decide which reps are offered on a customer (by the customer’s address) and what a team leader is allowed to see. What, where, who, when, why What A named team […]
Sales people (sales reps) setup — add a salesperson, commission, branch, parent rep
A sales rep (salesperson) is an existing OpenJanela user who has been given a sales-rep record. Reps are set up in Sales Management → Sales Partner Management: pick a rep in the list on the left, then the Details button. The rep is what a customer’s Sales Rep field points to, what every new quote/order […]
Worked example: door flanked by sidelites
This real case shows why the Level you pick is everything — and how two rules that look identical can behave differently. The setup A door with a sidelite on both sides. A machining notch must be cut on the door’s right edge. Four notch rules exist for this series. They are identical in every […]
Field relationships & cascades
The rule form has no single “master” field. Several independent driver→dependent chains reshape it as you work. The single most important thing to understand: Level, Rule Type, and Series Type each drive a different part of the form and do not filter one another. This page maps every relationship; the Field reference above explains each […]
Rules — how they work
A rule is the unit of product configuration in OpenJanela. Every part that lands on a Bill of Materials, every clearance, every grid, every machining notch, and most of the cost is put there by a rule. Learning to think in rules is the single most useful skill for configuring a product series. This chapter […]
How to check what a rule did (BOM, rule number, why a part is missing)
There is no step-by-step rule trace. The reliable check is to build a test item and look at its bill of materials (BOM): which parts came out, how long they are cut, how many, and which station and line they went to. Then compare with the rules. What you can check Check Where Did the […]
How to group rules in a sub-routine and call it when an answer is chosen
To switch a whole group of rules on for one answer or one opening style, put the group in a Rules Sub-Routine and call it from the series with one Rule Segment rule that carries the test. The concept is explained in Sub-Routines. Examples Picture-window beads for the 3501. To bead the fixed glass, the […]
How to send parts to a production station or line (station and line rules; parts going to the wrong station)
Parts reach a station through the rule list itself: a set station rule names a station, and every part rule after it goes to that station until the next set station rule. set production line works the same way for lines. Stations and lines are created in Production Stations setup and Production Line setup. Example: […]
How rules work in plain English (what a rule is, rule order, levels, tests)
A series is a list of rules. When an item is built, OpenJanela reads that list from top to bottom, in rule number (ID) order, and tries every rule on every part of the design that sits at the rule’s Level. A rule that fits adds a part, sets a size, asks a question or […]
How to change the sash size or sash deductions (sash clearance, sash profile length)
The sash size comes from Clearance rules at Level Sash: the gap on each side between the opening and the sash. Which sash profile is used, and how long it is cut, comes from the sash profile rules (Part or Profile Matrix at Level Sash, with Width / Height Adjust). Multi-slide doors also use the […]
