Column Views

Select on a column view name link to view or edit the column view information on the Column Views details page. 

Select the checkbox to allow administrative users to select the column view while establishing location or system default settings. Clear this checkbox to restrict administrative users from using the column view. See the Locations or System Defaults topics. If the column view is inactive, the system will clear it from the Column Views list page when you select the Show active only checkbox. 

Enter or edit the number in the field to restrict the number of items the system displays on the selected page type.

Select the checkbox to allow for the loading of additional pages when scrolling. This setting is only available on a select grouping of column views:

• Client Services Item Search
• Work in Progress  

This setting may not appear unless you have the appropriate security settings. 

When this setting is enabled for a column view, normal paging controls for the table in the user interface will not be displayed. This includes the first, previous, next, last, items per page, and page number controls in the header and footer of the tables. Instead, as users scroll, additional pages of results sets will be loaded and appended to the results table, which will automatically display a scroll bar when there are more rows to display than room on the page.

In the event that the table is much bigger than the initial results set that displays, selecting in the space below the bottom table row or using the mouse scroll wheel to scroll down will load additional pages until there are either no more results with the current filter criteria or a scroll bar needs to be displayed, at which point either mouse scrolling or using the scroll bar will work to review currently displayed results.

The column view can be reverted to traditional paging controls by disabling the Load additional pages as users scroll setting on the column view and will take effect after logging out of the application.

Based on the page type you select (Inbox, Patient Search, Order Search, etc.), the system labels the setup section <Page Type> Column Setup, substituting the name of the selected page type.

The Column Setup section contains three list fields:

• Available Fields: This lists the fields that are available for you to include in the column view layout. The available fields depend on the type of column view rule you are creating.
• Selected Fields: This lists the fields that are in the current column view for the selected page type. The system displays (Required) if the field must be included in the column view; you cannot remove these fields from the layout. The system displays (Sortable) after the field name if you may use the field to sort the data in the layout. You may add any sortable columns to the Sorting Fields list (see below).
• Sorting Fields: This lists the fields that the system will use to sort the data on the selected page type. The system displays either (ASC) or (DESC) to indicate whether it sorts the values in the field in ascending or descending order. To change the sort order between ascending or descending, select Toggle Sort or double-click a field in the Sorting Fields list.

To change the column view, move the fields onto or off of the lists so that you have only the desired fields in the desired sort order.

To add fields from the lists, select one or more fields in one of the lists, (using the Ctrl or Shift keys to select multiple items), and then select the right arrow button to add the selected fields to the selected list. You may also double-click a field on the Available Fields list to move it to the Selected Fields list, or double-click a field on the Selected Fields list to move it to the Sorting Fields list.
To remove fields from the lists, select one or more fields in one of the lists, (using the Ctrl or Shift keys to select multiple items), and then select the left arrow button to remove the selected fields from the selected list.
