Data grid
features offer time-saving benefits
Filter, sort, print, split
and drag and drop data grids
Data
grids exist throughout the system in various windows to organize data.
But did you know that with the release of ACCTivate! 6.2, many features
associated with some of these data grids were introduced.
Give
these quick and simple features a try and you will see time-saving
benefits by better organizing and quickly finding information.
Filter grids to
speed up your information searches
You
don't have to scroll through tons of information to view what you need,
use the new drop-down menus and Look
for fields to see exactly what you want.
Look for fields filter as you
type, for data grid information that cannot be filtered by the provided
drop-down menus.
For
example, in the Business
Activity Review window you can filter by various criteria as shown
below, such as who the activity is assigned to, the activity type, code
and more.
Enhanced
filtering is also available in the Customer
Information window (on the Invoices, Orders and Products tabs) and
the Business Alerts window.
Sort grid
columns to see information in ascending or descending order
 With a simple click of a data grid column header,
you can sort static information of some windows in either ascending or
descending order.
You can even sort multiple columns simultaneously. Just sort one column
and then hold down the Shift key while you click another column header
(click again to sort in the opposite order), which will sort the
information by subcategory.
Drag and drop
grid columns for better organization
Do
you need certain data grid columns to be more prominent than others or
wish to view information in a certain logical order?
Well,
just click a data grid column, drag it to a desired position in the
data grid and drop it when two red arrows appear.
Print grids to
get an instance hard copy of your data
Some
static data grids can be printed by simply right-clicking on the data
grid and  selecting the Print
Grid option.
This
is useful when you need a quick printout rather than a report. Try it
out in the Business Alerts and
Business Activity Review windows.
Split grids to
view multiple sections of data simultaneously
Some
data grids allow the grid to be split, so you can view two or more
sections of a large data set at once.
In
order to do this a vertical scroll bar must be present on the grid.
Place
your cursor on the gray bar above the vertical scroll bar until it
turns into the cursor shown to the right.
Then click and drag the bar down to the desired location to make the "split".
The data grid will split into two as shown below. The gray bar can be
clicked and dragged as many times as necessary to create multiple
"splits".
To undo the split, click and drag the gray bars above each "split" to
the top of the grid.
These
features can ultimately save you time without any effort. All it takes
is one or two clicks.
