Positioning columns

There are two options to change the position of a column in the listbox:

1.    in the dialog box Configuration

2.    in the listbox itself

To change the position in the dialog box, proceed as follows:

Ø Highlight the respective field in the tab Fields.

Ø Click Edit  next to the listbox.

SIHOT opens a dialog box to amend the details of the field.

Ø Enter the new position of the column in the field Index.

NOTE:
The numbering of columns in the listbox begins with 0.

Ø Click Apply to return to the Configuration dialog box.

The selected column is now displayed in its new position, moving all following columns one space to the right.

Ø Click Diskette  next to the listbox and safe the changes in the respective template.

NOTE:
In tree-listboxes, ensure that the index of a column makes sense, taking into consideration that the listbox contains more than one level.
Identical columns, for example, should be in the same position in all affected alias paths.

To change the position in the listbox, proceed as follows:

Ø Highlight the heading of the column to be moved.

Ø Drag the column to its required position.

Ø Click Diskette  next to the listbox and safe the changes in the respective template.

TIP:
In a tree-listbox, if a field has the same position in different levels, the index of all affected alias paths is changed automatically by moving the position of the column in the listbox itself.
