Tables

Throughout the program use is made of tables to display data. These can be customised to display data in the way most convenient to each user.

Data may be sorted by simply clicking on the column heading on which the data should be sorted. See Sorting.

The columns in these tables can also be repositioned so that columns are displayed in the preferred order. To move a column, drag the column header to the new position in the column heading area. If the new location is valid, two green arrows will be displayed to indicate where the column will be placed. e.g. in the screenshot below, the Digestible column header was dragged to a new location to the left of the Total column. When the mouse button is released, the column will be moved to the new location.

If the new location is not valid, then the following icon will be seen, and the column will not be moved.

Some columns are grouped in bands, which are above the column headers. Columns can only be re-located within their band, but certain bands can be moved to another location. The screenshot below shows the Feasible Ranges band being dragged to the left of the Answers band.

Columns may also be resized to make the best use of screen space. These settings will be saved automatically, and used when the program is restarted.

A few tables allow you to hide columns that you don’t wish to see. Under Client Feeds one can choose to hide columns that are not being used. On the toolbar are two buttons to Customise nutrient table and Customise ingredient table. Click on the button, and a small window will appear.

To hide a column or band, drag the column header onto this window. The column will not appear again until you reverse the process and drag it from the window into the table.
