Some lists, trees and grids allow you to select only a single item, while others allow you to select one or more items. If you are permitted to select multiple items, the items may either be next to each other (adjacent) or not (non-adjacent).

The MDM Data Manager supports a wide variety of methods to select one or more items from a list, tree, or grid, including standard Windows-type selection via shift+click, shift+arrow keys and ctrl+arrow keys, as well as mouse click selection.

In addition, typing characters deselects the existing selections, moves the selection highlight to the next matching list or tree item, and sets the anchor: referred to as Typeahead Seek Selection. When a list, tree or grid has the focus, typing moves the selection highlight to the first entry in the list, the tree, or the sorted column in the grid that matches the characters you typed; each keystroke moves the highlight to the first item that matches what you have typed so far.

Pausing for a half-second between characters “resets” the seek feature, so that the next character you type is treated as the first character you want to match.

Note: Typeahead seek works in a grid only on the single column that is currently the sort column, not on all of the columns at the same time.

To perform typeahead seek on a particular column, first make sure that it is the sorted column before you start typing characters. When a grid contains a hierarchy column, none of its columns will be sortable.

However, the hierarchy column is automatically treated as the sorted column for typeahead seek purposes, allowing you to use typeahead seek on it. Typeahead seek is not supported on object table grids when the object table contains more than 100 records.

Sorting Rows

To sort the rows in a column, click on its column title. The sort order toggles between ascending and descending order each time you click the column title. The sort order indicator to the left of each column title shows you which column is determining the record order (the one with a red triangle) and whether the rows are sorted in ascending or descending order (upper or lower triangle, respectively).

Figure 30: Sorting Rows

Note: The set of selected row(s) remains unchanged as you change the sort order. Text fields are sorted according to the field’s Sort Type property, which is set in the MDM Console. A column containing a multi-valued field will not be sortable and will not contain the sort order indicator. None of the columns in a grid containing a hierarchy column will be sortable.

You can also sort a column by right-clicking on the column title and choosing Sort from the context menu, or by choosing View –> Sort By from the main menu, and then in either case, choosing Ascending or Descending from the cascading menu to specify the sort order.

Reordering Columns

The easiest way to move a column in a grid is to click on its title and hold down the mouse button while you drag it to the desired location in the grid. A heavy black rectangle represents the column you are moving until you release the mouse button. As you drag the column, a heavy line indicates where it will be “dropped”

when you release the mouse button.

When the grid has the focus, you can also reorder columns by choosing View –>

Fields (fields correspond to columns) from the main menu to open the Select Displayed Fields dialog. Highlight a field (column) you want to move in the

Fields to Display list, and then click and drag the highlighted items to the desired position in the list. Repeat for each field you want to reorder. Click OK when you are done to close the Select Displayed Fields dialog.

Hiding and Unhiding Columns

To hide a column, right-click on its column title and choose Hide from the context menu. The column disappears from the display. To unhide a column, right-click on the title of the column to the right of where you want to insert the column, and choose Unhide from the context menu. Then select the column you want to unhide from the cascading menu of hidden column names. The unhidden column will be inserted to the left of the column on which you right-clicked to open the context menu.

Figure 32: Hiding and Unhiding Columns

Note: Because the unhidden column is inserted to the left of the displayed column on which you right-click, you cannot unhide a column to be the last column in the grid. To make it the last column, unhide it before the last displayed column, and then drag the last column to the left and drop it before the newly unhidden column. When the grid has the focus, you can also hide and unhide columns by choosing View > Fields from the main menu to open the Select Displayed Fields dialog. Highlight the fields you want to hide in the Fields to Display list and click Remove, or highlight the fields you want to unhide in the Available Fields list and click Add.

Click OK when you are done to close the Select Displayed Fields dialog.

Note: MDM will not allow you to hide all the columns.

Hiding and Unhiding Search Tabs

To hide a search tab, right-click on it and choose Hide from the context menu. The search tab disappears from the Search Parameters pane. To unhide a search tab, right-click on the search tab just beneath where you want to insert the search tab, and choose Unhide from the context menu. Then select the search tab you want to unhide from the cascading menu of hidden search tab names.

The unhidden search tab will be inserted above the search tab on which you right-clicked to open the context menu.

Figure 33: Hiding and Unhiding Search Tabs

Note: Because the unhidden search tab is inserted above the displayed search tab on which you right-click, you cannot unhide a search tab to be the last search tab in the grid. When the Search Parameters pane has the focus, you can also hide and unhide search tabs by choosing View –>

Search Tabs from the main menu to open the Select Displayed Search Tabs dialog. Highlight the search tabs you want to hide in the Search Tabs to Display list and click Remove, or highlight the search tabs you want to unhide in the Available Search Tabs list and click Add. You can also drag-and-drop search tabs in the Search Tabs to Display list to reorder them in the Search Parameters pane. Finally, to display all the search tabs and restore the default search tab order, click Default. Click OK when you are done to close the Select Displayed Search Tabs dialog.
