Display Window

Choose Columns to Display

Displays the columns that are available for display. Highlight items (or remove the highlight for items) according to the information you want to display.

Display Properties

Allows you to change the display properties for a column. (For example, you can change a name, width, or position of a column in the list.)

To change the display properties for a column, choose the column you want to change in the drop-down list. Then change the settings as necessary.

Position

Enter the position you want to assign to the column. 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 width you want to assign the column. (For example, enter “20” to allow a space approximately equal to the width of 20 characters.)

Note: You may want to shorten the width of one or more columns to prevent lines from wrapping in the list window.

Label

Enter the name you want to assign the column.

Right Justify

Mark this box if you want to line up the text so it is flush with the right side of the column. Right justification is used most commonly for columns that display numbers. Remove the mark for left justification.

Code

Choose “code” to display the codes associated with the column, or choose “description” to display the descriptions associated with the column. This option is available only for columns that display coded information.

Value

Depending on the column, you may be able to display a short or long version of the column information. Choose “short” to display the short version; choose “long” to display the long version. If you choose “long,” you may need to increase the column width so that all of the text is displayed.
