Browse lists can be scrolled through by one of three methods:
| • | VCR control in lower-left corner of list (best) |
+-----------+---------------------------------------------------+
| Control | Definition |
+-----------+---------------------------------------------------+
| |< | Move to top of the list |
| << | Move up one page |
| < | Move up one item |
| ? | Place cursor in the search field |
| > | Move down one item |
| >> | Move down one page |
| >| | Move to the bottom of the list |
+-----------+---------------------------------------------------+
| • | Keyboard when list is focused upon: Up, Down, Page Up, Page Down, Ctrl + Page Up, Ctrl + Page Down |
| • | Scrollbar located on the right-side of list. Please note that when a list is large, this scroll bar will not always produce accurate results due to paged loading. This is where only a subset of items (one page) are loaded rather than the entire file. Page-loading gives the fastest performance possible, but it is not possible to accurately determine the scrollbar's relative location within the file. We recommend using the VCR or keyboard on lists with over 10 pages of information. |
Lists can be sorted using the "sort tabs" located along the top of the list, or by right clicking on the field headers (the labels for each column) and select sort ascending or descending. We recommend using the "sort tabs" wherever possible for fastest performance.
An item in a list can be located using the "quick locator field" located at the bottom-left-hand corner of the window. Click on the list and begin typing – as each letter is entered, the closest match in the current order is highlighted.
