Layout tab

Use the Layout tab to define the data (columns) to retrieve from the database and display in the Search Results page. From this tab, you can also define the column order, sort criteria and order, and groupings to be used to display the retrieved data.

The Layout tab contains the following tables and controls:

Retrieve data tables

The left-most tables allow you to select the event details that are to be retrieved from the database for display in the web client.

Unselected Columns table
Displays the event details that can be retrieved from the database.
Selected Columns table
Displays the event details that are being retrieved from the database. It also displays the order in which the columns will be presented in the Search Results grid.
To add a column, select the column from the Unselected Columns table and use the right arrow button (located between these two tables) to move it to the Selected Columns table.
To remove a column from display, select the column from the Selected Columns table and use the left arrow button (located between these two tables) to move it back to the Unselected Columns table.
To rearrange the order of the columns, in the Selected Columns table select the column to be moved and use the up or down arrow button (located to the right of the Selected Columns table) to move the selected column to the desired location.
To reset the column selection and arrangement back to the factory defaults, use the reset button located next to the lower right corner of the Selected Columns table.
Sort criteria table

The table to the right of the Selected Columns table defines the criteria to be used to sort the search results.

To define the sort criteria for your search results, select a column in the Selected Columns table and use the right arrow button (located to the right of the Selected Columns table) to move it to the Sort Criteria table. To specify secondary sort criteria, add the additional columns to the Sort Criteria table. Use the arrow controls to the right of this table to define the primary (first column in list) and subsequent sort criteria.

Order By
This column lists the event details selected for sorting the search results.
Direction
This column specifies the sort direction for the sort criteria:
•
ASC: ascending
•
DESC: descending
To change the sort direction, place your cursor in the corresponding Direction cell and select Ascending or Descending.
Group By
This column indicates whether the displayed information is to be grouped. (Similar to selecting a column heading in the Search Results grid and dragging it to the space above the table to group the displayed information.)
To group/ungroup data, place your cursor in the corresponding Group By cell and select Yes to group the data or No to remove a grouping.
To reset the settings in the Sort Criteria table back to the factory defaults, use the reset button located next to the lower right corner of the Sort Criteria table.

The SQL tab displays the SQL query built to run the selected search. This information is only available once a search has been created.
