Using lists

Sort, filter, and group entries in the Active Jobs List and Job History List to make it easy to view information about current and submitted jobs.

Sorting the list

To sort the list by a column, click the column heading. The column name is italicized, and an arrow indicates whether the column is sorted in ascending or descending order. To change the order, click the heading again.

Filtering the list

Use the fields below the headings to apply filters to a column. Type the string, and the filters match values that contain the text as you type. For example, if you type "ma" in the Name column, it will match names like Mark, Matt, or Emma.

For the Error column in the Error, you can select All, Yes, or No.

To remove the filters, click Clear filters (). The complete list appears.

Grouping the list

Group items in the list so that entries are listed by data in any of the columns. For example, group entries by user to see who entered which jobs.

To group items, click Columns and groups () or right-click on the column headings. Under "Group by", select the column with the data you want to use for grouping. The list changes to show headings for each item in the column you selected. (For example, if you select the Date Created column, there will be headings for each date a job was created.)

Click expand the list. To collapse the list, click . To expand and collapse all headings, use the and buttons.

To remove the groupings from the list, click Columns and groups again and select Not grouped.

In the Settings window, use the sliders to change the font size (8–25 points with 12 as the default) and the number of lines in each row (1–10 lines with 1 as the default ). The list is changed automatically.

If you increase the number of lines per row in the Active Jobs List, a thumbnail appears of the first page of the job. Move the mouse over the thumbnail to see a larger view of the page. Increasing the number of lines per row in the Active Jobs List also displays more information in the Index Fields column.

In the Active Jobs List, you can change the format for dates to one of several preset values or the default format for the language. In the Date Format field, select the desired format.

When you are finished, close the Settings window by clicking .

  • To hide columns in the list, click or right-click on the column headings. Under "Show columns", clear the columns you want to hide. Selecting the columns makes them appear again.
