Batch Report Obsolete?

[wcw]

Is the concept of a batch report obsolete? Under utilities > legacy order processing the batch reports are still there. But they are not in the manage orders. There also does not appear to be a packing slip print option. Is that coming?

The Picklist/Packing Slip is controlled by a Page so it's fully customizable.

I don't see a button for Print Packing Slip.

What page. I see Screen=PKLT in the browser location bar. But I do not have a page called PKLT. There is also no printer button in the picklist popup.

We haven't styled the page yet we'll add a print button. The page should be obvious in the list, but I'm on my phone right now so I can't look it up

Ok. I found it. SHIPMENT_PICKLIST Very nice.

Interesting. I looked at the code on that page. Fairly straightforward. However, when I go to merchant.mvc and put in merchant.mvc?Screen=SHIPMENT_PICKLIST I get "Page 'SHIPMENT_PICKLIST' no longer exists." How are you sending the visitor to the Not Found page? Is that a new feature and how is it implemented? I seem to remember from the conference you were going to have pages that could not be accessed from merchant.mvc. Care to share the secret?

I'm not sure how it's being done, but it's an Admin only page, an outsider can't get there.

I can ask Burch if this is something third parties can do too.

This would be VERY useful for Modules to be able to create or call Admin Only page templates. Currently I pass a variable and value pair to the screen. If empty or the wrong value, I just <mvt:exit /> the page but I'm sure you have something more elegant in mind.
