Sorting Window Contents

Administrators can sort the contents within a window in ascending or descending order, by name or any of the column headings available in the current window. They can also select the columns to view, freeze the window at the currently selected list item, and configure the sort order.

Right click the small arrow withing a column to display the Sort menu.

Resizing Tables

Administrators can resize the columns by moving the mouse over the column label. A double-ended white arrow will appear. Dragging the arrow to the left will decrease the width of the column and dragging it to the right will increase the width of the column.

Mouse over column separator and drag to the left to reduce column width and right to increase column width.

A column can be moved within a table by dragging it to the desired location in the row of column headers.

Configuring the sort feature

Administrators can configure complex sort orders to visualize the contents displayed in the current window. For example, administrators can sort all names in the current window first by name in ascending order, and then by value in descending order. This option is available when a user clicks Configure Sort in the Sort menu.

Administrators can add or delete sort levels by clicking the respective Add Level and Delete Level buttons. Users can use the Copy Level button to copy a sorting property to a new line. Users can also use the up and down arrows next to the Copy Level button to change the order in which the window list is sorted. After completing the entries in the sort window, users have to click on the Apply button to apply the sorting configurations.
