An Improved Method for Inserting Columns Into Grids: Field Chooser
Original method for inserting a single column at a time into grids
Field Chooser, an improved method for inserting one or more columns into grids
With Field Chooser, single or multiple columns can be inserted in all WTP Grid apps (i.e., Quote Grid, Order Grid, etc.) in a manner that is relatively easy.
The benefit of using Field Chooser is that multiple columns can be added in a single pass, whereas only a single column at a time could be added via the Insert Column-->Field Name-->Column name command.
Launch Field Chooser
In a WTP Grid app, right-click on any column head and select Field Chooser. The Field Chooser selection window opens.
Select Columns with Field Chooser
In the top portion of the Field Chooser window (white background) select the field type (for example, Alert, Launch Button, etc.) Note that field types are specific to each grid.
Once a field type has been selected, the columns associated with that field type are displayed in the bottom portion of Field Chooser (the background color in Field Chooser reflects the background color of the grid).
To place a single column to the left of the selected column, double-click on a column name.
To place a single column anywhere in the grid, single-click a column name and drag the column to the desired location in the grid and release.
To select and place multiple columns anywhere in the grid in a single pass, hold down the Ctrl key while selecting the columns. Drag the selected columns to the desired location in the grid and release.
When a column is placed in a grid it is removed from selection in Field Chooser. When a column in a grid is removed, it is available for selection in Field Chooser.
