List View

In List View the results of a search are displayed with a subset of fields (one or more) or as Summary Data (which is a System-defined combination of fields).

To view a group of records in List View, either:

  1. Click View List in the Tool bar

    -OR-

    Select View>List from the Menu bar.

The results of your search display in a list with pre-defined columns. Each column is a field in a module. The Status bar indicates the total number of results returned by a search:

To scroll through records in List View:

  • Click on the arrow icons in the Tool bar

    -OR-

    Use the vertical scroll bars

    -OR-

    Use a keyboard shortcut (F5 moves to the previous record and F6 moves to the next record).

It is possible to create and edit your own List View, specifying which fields to display, and to select which List View to use to display records. You can also change the order of columns and resize them. It is also a simple matter to copy and paste data out of List View.

Tip: A very simple way to report in Vitalware is to create a List View with the fields on which to report, run a search and then copy and paste the data in List View into MS Excel, for instance.
