Screen-list definitions and other users

At the bottom of screen-list details, usage information is shown. If there is only one definition, changes automatically affect other users. If several exist, you can see which users use this definition and will receive your changes.

 

 

Columns

Available columns appear on the left, and used columns on the right.

 

Available

Available columns depend on the list type and may differ between screen and Excel lists.

 

Add a column by moving it to the right with >.

 

To search the available columns quickly, type in the field below the heading. The list is filtered to matching column names with each keystroke.

 

Used

The displayed order determines the order of columns in the actual list. New columns are added at the bottom. Reorder them by dragging rows vertically.

 

Each column receives a default title and width. Change them by double-clicking the row or using Edit.

 

To remove a used column, select it and click <. It returns to the available columns.

 

 

Sorting

This tab determines the order of records. Every list definition requires at least one sorting column, with ascending or descending order specified.
You can add several sorting levels. The first row is the primary sort. Drag rows vertically to reorder them.

 

Grouping (Excel lists only)

For Excel definitions, each sorting column can also define a group break. This separates groups more clearly in the output. Options are:

Insert white space at a new group

Insert a page break at a new group

Insert blank rows at a new group (configurable number)

Insert blank rows and a page break at a new group (configurable number)
