Data Filters

Data filters vary per report.

They let you include or exclude data (e.g. statuses, dates).

Columns
  • Transaction or entry details (e.g. Item, Quantity, Price).
  • The first column is usually a Field Chooser (*) from which columns can be added or removed.
  • Columns can be resized by dragging the line next to the caption.
  • Columns include a Small Filter Icon (small funnel icon) which can be used to filter the contents in the column.
  • The final column is a widget with additional functions for the entry. It does not appear in the Field Chooser (*) and cannot be hidden. Its functions are also on the context menu (right-click an entry).
Rows
  • Most rows include a context menu (right-click) with shortcuts to various functions.
  • The context menu is also available from the last column (left-click).
  • If there are more rows than fit on the screen, a scrollbar appears.
  • Commands under the Actions button often work with multi-selected rows. (Use Ctrl + left-click to select more than one.)
