The Grid View
(and 'right-click' menu)
About the Grid View
After selecting an item in the 'tree', details for
the item appear in the top-right area of the
desktop. Clicking
Grid
on the toolbar allows
switching to the Grid view—which shows a list
of items with their associated settings in a
grid/table format.
The Grid view (popular with experienced
operators) allows viewing and sorting a large
list of items such as users, and for finding a
specific item in a list (such as all users
assigned a specific 'authority').
If "Grid" is not listed on the toolbar, then you are
already 'in' Grid view.
Tip:
While 'in' the 'grid' for a specific topic, selections
are typically available by right-clicking an item in the
grid.
Working in Grid View
When using 'Grid' view, you can:
•
Adjust the Grid window to the desired width
and height, and/or use the scroll-bars to view
the available settings;
•
To enter/change a name or number, simply
select the existing value, and type-over it
with the new value;
•
To select or assign a pre-defined value, click
either the setting itself, or the arrow on the
right of the setting, and then select from the
list of choices.
•
For a 'check-box' item, simply click the
check-box to select or deselect the item;
•
To sort the listing on a specific column,
simply click on the column heading.
•
To limit the listing to show only items
matching a specific value, right-click within
the column, enter your value under
Filter on
Column
, and press
Enter
. (To 'undo' this,
right-click in the column, and select
Remove
Column Filter
, or simply click the
Refresh
toolbar-button);
•
When finished, select another item or topic,
and your settings are saved automatically.
The Filter button on the toolbar allows hiding or
showing the yet-to-be-defined items (templates).
These can be selected to set up a new item (as an
alternative to right-clicking the form and selecting
Add New
).
