A large file such as the example used above can become cumbersome especially if you have to scroll down to see relevant fields. To allow you to reduce the display to the fields you think to be relevant in making your selections we have provided you with the facility of defining one or more display objects which are simply field selections in a field order you feel to be more logical than the default display of the fields. (This order is the order in which they were defined.)

Click on this menu item and you will be presented with the following display:

This view management screen allows you to select an already defined view or to establish a new view and to delete or modify an existing one.

The fields in the left hand list box are arranged in alphabetical order while those in the right hand list box are in the current display order, which happens to be the order in which the fields were defined.

To produce a new View fist hit Clear and then select the fields from the Fields list and insert them into the Select Fields list.

You can either mark the field and hit insert or double click the required field to insert in the Selected Fields list. Likewise you can select a field in the Selected Fields list and either hit Delete or double click that field.

You can change the order of the fields in the Selected fields list by dragging the fields to the desired order in the list.

When you hit OK you will be asked for a relevant name for this view of the file (Display Object).

Edit will allow you to modify an existing display object. By selecting the Address View and then Edit the following screen is presented:

Make whatever modifications you desire and then hit OK to store these new speicifications.

Delete will delete the currently selected display object.

All Fields cancels the current field selection and reverts back to displaying all the fields of the file in their default order.

Name allows you to modify the name of the currently selected display object.
