Set up the result list columns

The result list columns are adjustable. You can adjust the width and placement of the columns and select which columns to display in each list. These options are described below. You can also save your adjustments and apply them to other lists. This is described in Set up views in F2.

Place and sort columns

Reorder the columns by dragging and dropping them in their desired location.

Figure 1. Moving columns in the result list

Adjust the width of columns by dragging one of its edges with the cursor.

An overview of columns and their contents can be found in Columns.

The four leftmost columns in all result lists contain icons providing visual information about the given list element. cBrain recommends never reordering these columns.

To sort the result list, click on a column title. The list will be sorted alphanumerically according to the column’s values (0-9 and a-z or 9-0 and z-a). If the result list is sorted by title, for instance, the results appear in alphabetical order. Click again to sort the list in descending alphabetical order. The same principle applies to columns with numerical values. Click on e.g. the "Case number" column to sort it in ascending order and click again to reverse the order.

You can further sort the result list by holding the Shift key and clicking a second column. For instance, you can sort a list by "Responsible" participant (1) first and then "Title" (2). This means the result list groups records by responsibility and sorts each group alphabetically by their titles.

Select columns for the result list

You can select which columns to display in a given result list. Right-click on any column, and then click on Columns in the context menu. The "Select columns" dialogue opens. The number of columns available varies depending on your installation’s add-on modules.

The result list view - whether it is showing records, cases, documents, or requests - determines which columns can be selected.

Figure 3. Open the column selector

The figure below shows a section of the column selector. You can read about all columns and their contents here.

It is possible to search for a column title by using the search field. By default, all column titles are shown in the dialogue. Tick the box Show only selected columns to display only the columns currently selected for the result list.

Figure 4. The column selector

Select or deselect a column by ticking or unticking the box next to its title. The selection only applies to the current list.

If all columns are removed by mistake, right-click on the blank column bar to access the "Select columns" dialogue.
