Tables
Tables can be customized using layout and sorting options to show you the information you want to see.
Table Layout
You can use one of three table layouts when working with search results pages and the line sheet.
• The traditional table layout is the list layout, which lists the items retrieved in a tabular format. Click the list icon
to view tables as lists.
• Click the thumbnail icon
to use the thumbnail layout. This layout displays the table contents as thumbnails, rather than the list text of the object name, and also displays select attributes, as defined by your administrator.
• Click the filmstrip icon
to use the filmstrip layout. This layout displays the table contents as thumbnails in a single row at the bottom of the table. You can scroll horizontally through these objects. Click an object to magnify the object in the center of the table. This layout displays the same attributes as those displayed in the thumbnail layout.
Table Sorting
You can sort individual table columns in ascending order by clicking the name of the column.
• If you sort columns by clicking the column name, you can only sort by one column at a time.
• Clicking the name of a column that is sorted in ascending order sorts that column in descending order. Clicking the name of a column that is sorted in descending order sorts that column in ascending order.
You can also sort multiple table columns in both ascending and descending order.
1. Click Sort Options. The Sort Options window appears. You can sort by up to three options.
2. From the Sort By list, select the first option that you want the table to sort by, and then select Ascending or Descending to sort the option in ascending or descending order.
3. To sort by a second or third option, from the Sort Next By list, select the option that you want the table to sort by, and then select Ascending or Descending to sort the option in ascending or descending order.
4. Click Sort.
Sorted column headers display an upward pointing arrow to indicate that the column is sorted in ascending order, and a downward pointing arrow to indicate descending order.
