Changing the Columns in a List Window

If you want to, you can temporarily change the columns that appear in a list window so you can see the information that is the most useful to your current task. (For example, in Acquisitions, you can display the type of each statement, such as Invoice, Credit, Refund, and so forth.)

Here is a sample window:

Your changes to a list window remain until you close that process window. (To change the display more permanently, see the “Horizon Views” chapter of the System Administration Guide.)

To change the columns in a list window

1 Access the list window that contains the columns you want to change. (For instructions on accessing a process, see Starting a Horizon Process.)
2 Click Display.

Horizon displays a window that lets you change columns. Here is an example of a window for an Acquisitions list window:

3 Highlight the columns you want to display.

To highlight or unhighlight a column, click the column name.

Note: If you choose to display too many columns, users may need to resize the list window to be able to view all the columns.

4 In the Display properties group, choose the column for which you want to change display properties, then complete these options to change the display:

Field

Action

Position

Enter the position you want to assign to the column.

(For example, enter “1” to display the column in the left-most position, “2” for the second position from the left, and so on.)

Width

Enter the number of characters you want to display in the column.

(For example, enter “20” to display up to 20 characters of text in the column.)

Note: If you chose to display too many columns in this list window, the text in your columns may wrap to the next line. To prevent the text from wrapping, you can enter a small number of characters to keep the width of your columns small.

Label

Enter the name you want to assign the column.

Right Justify

Mark this box to right-justify the text in the column.

Code

If your column displays predefined or coded information, such as location, do one of these options:

Mark code to display the abbreviated name of the code. (For example, if you display a currency column, Horizon displays “usd” for United States dollars.)
Mark description to display a description of the code. (For example, if you display a currency column, Horizon displays “United States Dollar.”)

Value

Lets you display parameters or settings in your columns. (For example, you can display the spent event setting for a purchase order in Acquisitions.) If your column is a value, do one of these options:

Mark short to display a brief description of the value.
Mark long to display a complete description of the value.
5 Repeat step 4 for each column you want to change.
6 Click OK.

The list window shows your changes.
