Tables store and organize data throughout the system, usually appearing anywhere lines and columns of data appear. Entering data in table cells is often like entering data in fields.
You can sort and format tables in many ways. For example, in the Customer Calling Queue, you might sort items by ship date, or even assign row colors that quickly identify orders that are in trouble.
The system's extensive use of tables gives you many ways to easily scan and use information. For example, you might use colors to distinguish priorities and dates, or change column sizes and their order to view the data in your preferred layout. Common formatting features include:
Alternating row colors.
User-defined colors to identify priorities.
Columns that can be resized, sorted, and rearranged.
The ability to save your settings.
Tables offer many ways to enter, edit, and analyze information. You can easily find and organize table data using searching and sorting tools. Some tables use auto-suggest and auto-sum features. Exporting tables into other Windows applications, such as Microsoft Excel, or graphing table data helps you analyze your information.
Some common features include:
Searching
Cutting and pasting
Multiple-sorting
Graphing
Exporting data into most Windows applications
