Entries Table

A-Plus, Case Management and Shift Log each have an Entries Table. Each table is customised to suit the individual application's requirements and displays a list of entries that is specific to the particular application.

Entries are used in A-Plus, Case Management and Shift Log.

Each entry in the table is made up of a number of compulsory and optional data fields which are displayed as columns. These entries can be sorted and filtered according to viewing and reporting requirements.

Layout

The main parts of the Entries Table are:

1.   Header	Entries can be sorted or grouped by the data headings.
2.   Quick Filter	Filters can be applied to restrict the number of entries displayed. In Shift Log, the Quick Filters can be enabled/disabled in the Workbook configuration.
3.   Entries	The different applications have different types of entries. A-Plus Loss Gain  Availability Case Management Case     Shift Log Log Case General
4.   Selected Entry	Click on a blue highlighted entry to open it. The blue highlight appears when you hover over an entry.
5.   Field	Each column contains data for one field.
6.   Attachments	The is displayed when the entry has attachments, with the number indicating how many attachments there are.
7.   Entry Actions	Available entry actions vary between entry state and application, and are a feature of A-Plus and Shift Log.

Sorting and Grouping Entries

All columns in the Entries Table can be sorted by Ascending, Descending, or Group.

Sorting options can be applied to one, or multiple columns at any one time.

To sort on a column data field:

1. Click on the arrow on the right side of a column title block.

2. Select a sort option.

The sort options are:

Ascending	Varies with data type. Text Fields - alphanumeric order with numbers having priority over letters. Number fields - numerical order. Date and time fields - the most recent date/time is at the top of the list.
Descending	The reverse of the Ascending option.
Group	Entries are grouped with others of the same type. Applying the Group action overrides the sort precedence, with grouping always being applied first.

When a sort is applied to multiple columns, the first column sorted has the highest precedence in the sort order, and the second column sorted has the second highest precedence. As more columns are sorted, the order of precedence continues to be allocated sequentially.

In the example above:

• The up arrow indicates an ascending sort has been applied to the relevant column.
• The down arrow indicates a descending sort order has been applied.
• The number indicates the sort priority.

When there is an up or down arrow beside the column name, click on the arrow to cycle between:

• Sorted Ascending
• Sorted Descending
• Unsorted

The column sort may also be removed by selecting Remove Sort from the list.

Quick Filters

One or more quick filters can be applied, making it easier to find particular entries.

Enter a complete, or partial value, or word in the column filter field to apply a quick filter to the table.

A quick filter of '36' was applied to the ID field in the example below.

 

Note: In Shift Log, the Quick Filters can be enabled/disabled in the Workbook configuration.
