Checkbox
Determines whether or not the field will be displayed in the grid.
Title
The name of the field, as assigned when the field is defined in the system.
Alignment
Determines the alignment of information within the column. By double-clicking the cell, the alignment for each field can be set to either Left Justified, Right Justified, or Centered. If you select a range, then double-click a selected cell, it will change the alignment for all selected fields.
Sorting
Allows information in the column to be sorted in ascending or descending order. This field is initially left blank to indicate no sorting is performed. This can be changed by clicking in the sort cell. Fields with a sort value of “--” indicate that no sorting can be done on the field.
Index
If sorting is used, this indicates the order of the sort. If one sorting criteria is defined, the Index value will be “1” to indicate the primary sort. If multiple sorts are defined, the Index values will be assigned to indicate primary, secondary, tertiary, etc... sorts. This can be changed by clicking.
Index value cannot be assigned for fields until a sort method has been assigned to them. Index values of “--” indicates that no sort value has been assigned for the field.
If multiple fields are selected and you change the Index value for one of the fields, the Index values for the other selected fields will change to accommodate the new value.
Move Up
Determines the order in which fields will be displayed in the grid. By moving a field up, you move the column to the left in the grid display.
Move Down
Determines the order in which fields will be displayed in the grid. By moving a field down, you move the column to the right in the grid display.
