Grid View

Available from many places including Customer, Inventory, Employee and Vendor, Toolbars appear at the bottom of the screen and provide access to a variety of functions. To activate a function, click on the desired item. Alternatively, to use your keyboard, you may press [Alt]+Letter, or simply the underlined letter by itself. The exception to this is the Save button. You may not press the S by itself; instead, you may use [PgDn].

A columnar grid view is available from many places including the Customer, Inventory, Vendor, Employee, and Alternate Shipping screens. To access this view, select Grid from the Toolbar. All records will now be displayed sorted by the first column.

(Click on any field below for context-sensitive help)

To go to a specific record, use your mouse and the scroll bars to highlight the item and then double-click it or click Ok to select it. Alternatively, you may use [Up/Down Arrows] or [PgUp/Dn] to highlight the item and then press [Enter]. (Pressing cancel will simply close the grid without selecting a record.)

Searching the Grid

You may perform an incremental search by typing characters into the Seek box at the top. You will automatically jump to the closest match. The incremental search will work on whichever column is set as the current index.

The current index order is always indicated just to the right of the seek box, and the column header is displayed in red. Columns which may be sorted and searched upon are indicated with << >>.

Sorting the Grid

To change the current index and sort the grid by a different column, simply right-click your mouse in the heading section of the column. Only indexed columns may be sorted. These columns are designated with « » surrounding the column name. As soon as you right-click on the heading, the list will be resorted for you. To change the order between ascending and descending, right-click the colum heading again.
