Resource Manager Display Characteristics

To rearrange columns in a Resource Manager table, select a column header and drag it to the place in the grid where you want the column to appear. The column positions that you specify will be “remembered” and used each time you use the application.

You can resize the columns by dragging the edge of the column header to the desired position. To automatically resize the column to fit the data, double-click the edge of the column header or right-click the column header and choose Best Fit on the shortcut menu. Choosing Best Fit (all columns) resizes all columns in the table to fit the data that they contain.

To sort the table by a given column, click the column header. You can reverse the direction of the sort by clicking the column header again. You can also right-click the column header and choose Sort Ascending or Sort Descending on the shortcut menu, or choose Clear Sorting to stop sorting by the selected column.

You can change the columns that appear in the table for a resource type via the Column Chooser, which is accessed by choosing Home > Columns > Column Chooser.

You also can click the Columns icon at the bottom of the navigation panel to display a list of available columns in the navigation panel.

There are several ways to filter the resources that appear in the table.

The Auto Filter row appears by default immediately below the column headers. Enter text in any cell in this row to display only those resources that contain matching text in that field. You can hide or show the Auto Filter row by choosing Home > Filter > Display Auto Filter Row or by right-clicking any column header and choosing [Hide/Show] Auto Filter Row.

The Find panel, which is hidden by default, allows you to search for text within the resources that are currently displayed in the table. Right-click any column header and choose Show Find Panel to display the panel. Enter text in the field and click Find to filter the resources displayed in the table. You can click Clear to remove the filter. To close the panel, click the X or right-click any column header and choose Hide Find Panel.
Choose Home > Filter > Enable Advanced Filters to gain access to more detailed filtering functionality.

The number of resources displayed in the table is determined by the value in the Home > Filter > Maximum Display field.
