Sort folder - Personalize View

The Sort folder allows you to personalize the sort results. The fields selected on the Search Results folder appear as the Available fields. For every field added, you can choose whether to perform the sort in ascending or descending order. Use the Move Up or Move Down actions to change the order of the criteria used to sort the records.

The following list defines every component on the Sort folder:

• Available Fields - the list of Available Fields to sort is restricted to the list of fields identified on the Search Results 'Show These Fields in This Order' list box. Add or remove fields so that only the required fields appear in the Sort These Fields in This Order list box.
  • To Add a field, highlight the field that you want to include in the sort and click Add to move this field to the 'Sort These Fields in This Order' list box, or you can double click on the field name and it automatically moves to the other list box.

  • To Remove a field, highlight the field and click Remove to move this field from the 'Sort These Fields in This Order' list box back into the 'Available Fields' list box, or double click on the field name and it is automatically returned to the other list box.

• Sort These Fields in This Order - defines the order in which each record will be sorted and displayed in the Search Results. For every field added to this list box, you can choose whether to perform the sort in Ascending or Descending order.
  • To Move Up a field, highlight the field and click Move Up to move this field up one level.

  • To Move Down a field, highlight the field and click Move Down to move this field down one level.

• Show Subtotal - PointForce allows you to personalize any View to display totals and subtotals in the Results section of the Search page. The 'Show Subtotal' field works with the 'Display Search Results With' field from the Search Results folder.
  • On the Search Results folder, you define the 'Display Search Results With' field. You can set this field to be: Details Only, Details/Subtotals, Details/Grand Totals, Details/Subtotals/Grand Totals, Subtotals Only, Subtotals/Grand Totals, or Grand Totals Only.

  • When you select an option from 'Display Search Results With' on the Search Folder, only fields with the 'Show Subtotal' check box selected will have Subtotal and Total Lines displayed. At least one field must be selected to 'Show Subtotal' and the row must contain at least one math enabled column.

    Note: Only physical columns that appear in the 'Sort These Fields in This Order' list box on the Sort tab, may be selected to sort on and may be identified as break columns.
