The Grid Options menu can be accessed from the Function Bar by clicking on the gear symbol.
Note
Some options in the menu and the resulting screens will differ depending on the version of the function bar.
Library staff can customize what columns display and how they display in the grid for interfaces in the staff client using the Manage Columns option in the Grid Options.
Available configuration options are:
- You can select the desired display columns from the dropdown list or,
Click Manage columns for more options.
- Click Visible to make a column visible or hidden [T/F].
- Click Sort Visible Columns to Top.
- Click Move Up or Move Down to change column position.
- Click First Visible or Last Visible to move the selected column to the top or bottom of the list.
Use Sort Priority to prioritize how sorting should work. (A negative number will sort the column in reverse order.)
This option only appears in certain cases.
The width of columns can be adjusted for the grids. The method to do so depends on the version of the function bar.
In newer interfaces you can use your cursor to drag the edges of the columns to expand or shrink them. You can also set a width, measured in characters, by selecting Manage Columns from the Grid Options menu. You can then enter a value in the Width (Characters) field for the applicable column.
In older interfaces you can select Manage Column Widths from the Grid Options menu and then click Expand or Shrink to adjust the column sizes.
On one version of the Function Bar, found on some screens, you can choose Manage Actions Menu to change which actions are displayed and available. The action choices vary from screen to screen.
- Click on the Show Grid Options (gear icon) menu.
Select Manage Actions Menu.
Make required changes and click Close.
- Click on the Show Grid Options (gear icon) menu again.
Select Save Grid Settings.
There are two ways to print the information in the grid and one way to download it. In all cases the list will only include the items currently displaying on the screen.
The Print Full Grid option available on the Grid Options menu (Gear Icon) will open a print dialogue and allow you to print the list which will include all the columns currently visible on the screen.
The Print Selected Rows option available on the Grid Options menu (Gear Icon) will open a print dialogue and allow you to print the selected rows as a list which will include all the columns currently visible on the screen.
