View Options

The View Options window is opened by clicking the View Options toolbar button, by selecting the View Options item from the File menu or by pressing the hot-key combination Ctrl-j (Windows) or Cmd-j (Mac OS X).

Columns

The View Options window allows you to override the default columns set in the Default View Options tab of the Preferences window for the currently selected Filter.

To use a different set of columns than the default, open the View Options window and select the "Use the following columns" option within the Columns area. Then check and uncheck the columns in the list of fields, checking those that you wish to see in the list of cases.

To change the order of the columns click and drag the checked fields up and down the list, making sure the fields you would like to see first (on the left of the cases list) are highest up the list of columns. You do not need to make sure the checked fields are at the top of the list, just in the correct order.

To change back to using the default columns as set in the Default View Options tab of the Preferences window simply select the "Use default columns" option and save your changes.

Sort Order

By default each filter may be sorted by clicking the column headers of the list of cases. In the View Options window you can set a sort order that comprises of one or more columns from the Sort Order list.

To set the Sort Order for the currently selected Filter, open the View Options window and select the "Use sort order as defined here..." option. Then check the box in the Use column for each field you would like to sort by, and drag and drop the checked fields into the order you would like them to be sorted.

The default sort direction for each field is ascending, checking the box in the Rev column of the column list will sort that field in descending order (reversing the default).

To revert back to sorting the case list by clicking the column headers, select the "Sort by clicking column headers" option and save your changes.
