Outline View Control Bar: Functions
The Outline View Control Bar contains the following functions (from left to right):
- Edit Display Options – Show hierarchy or not, show column icons or not.
- Filter Options – Outline data view records can be filtered for display scope.
- Define or Edit Current Data View – launches the Edit Data View (Static) menu. By modifying the currently selected data view, this interface determines what data fields appear in the Box Item and Outline View areas. It also determines the order in which these fields are displayed.
- Print Data Outline Pane – launches the standard Windows print interface. This prints the names and values of the data fields currently displayed in the Outline View area.
- Print Preview Outline – launches a preview screen showing how the data fields in the currently displayed Outline View area will appear when printed out.
- Locate Person – displays where a person’s component is located. It automatically expands the division which contains the person and centers their component on the screen.
- Copy – takes information from one area and makes it available in another.
- Export Wizard – launches the Export Wizard which takes the user step-by-step through the process of exporting data fields to various formats and locations. (For more information on exporting data, please see the Export Wizard section of this manual.)
- Data View Quick Selector – this drop-down menu allows for the rapid selection of available data views. This menu performs the same function as the Current Box Layout drop down menu available in the Box Item area.
- View Options – provides a choice of the different display options available in Outline View.
