There are several ways to move around the action grid to locate and access your data.

Scrollbars

The simplest method of navigation is to use the horizontal and vertical scrollbars.

Horizontal Scrolling

To bring different columns and panels into view, use your mouse pointer to drag the horizontal scrollbar slider (along the bottom), or to click on the scroll left/right buttons.

Vertical Scrolling

To move up or down all of the rows (records) in the grid, use your mouse pointer to drag the vertical scrollbar slider (along the right margin), or to click on the scroll up/down buttons. To Page Up or Page Down (one full page at a time) click on the space between the slider and the scroll up/down buttons.

Panel Tab

Panel buttons represent groups of columns in the action grid that are organized logically according to the information they provide. These buttons are used to assist with navigation, particularly when the number of columns extends beyond the viewable area of the action grid. For example, when the action grid is set to BASE in MyViews, several default panel buttons would be displayed to represent all the available columns.

Users can create and or rename panel buttons via the Columns action grid feature. The column changes can then be saved to MyViews.

Each panel begins after the initial columns (primary data elements). Selected panel buttons are highlighted in blue to indicate the name of the currently-displayed panel. Use the direction buttons to scroll to panel buttons that are shown in the tab bar. Orange-colored panel buttons indicate default columns of extensible data; e.g., . ViewPoint Logistics automatically changes the name of this panel changes depending on the client selected.

To quickly bring different groups of data elements into view, use the Panel button to select a specific panel from the dropdown list, or click the left or right arrows to move the grid in sequence from one panel into the next.

Tip: You can further simplify action grid navigation, filtering, and sorting by reconfiguring your columns to display only the data you need to perform your work. For details, see Renditions.
