Grids in AMS360

AMS360 uses a combination of lists and grids throughout the system.

  • Lists are found on Centers and Views, and display a list of items with related data in a table format. See Using Lists for more information.
  • Grids are found on data entry forms and provide the ability to add or modify data.

The following information describes the information provided in and the function of grids.

Sorting Items in a Grid

Click the column header to sort the grid using the data in column. If the sort arrow points up, the items sort in ascending order. If it points down, the items sort in descending order.

Filtering Items in a Grid

Use filter to limit the column data to only those item(s) matching your selection criteria. This feature is similar to auto-filter in Excel. For example, To filter the grid for the customer "B & R Equipment, Inc.", click the down-arrow in the column header and select B & R Equipment, Inc.
