Filopto styles the data grids to display data based on the information they display. Each is organized for the particular task at hand; however all function in the same manner and offer the user ways of customizing their look and operation.
The grids allow you to sort the data content in the order you wish to see it. The Patient Manager is such an example. To sort the grid, click on the column heading to change the sort order. You will note that the ascending or descending option is available.
Another aspect of data grids is that some can be changed by rearranging the column headings. By clicking your mouse on a column heading and dragging it to another location, users can rearrange the display of the grid.
Data Grid Grouping
Some grids permit grouping of information for easy review of the displayed information. In the example below we are dragging the column header called Lab/Vendor Name to the group section of the grid which automatically displays all orders for each vendor.
Once one or more columns are dragged to the grouping section of the grid the grid displays the information based on the selected grouping columns.
The scroll bars located on the side and bottom of a grid permit users to view additional information.
The Grouping option can support multi level of column headers which permit users to do elaborate sub-grouping views.
Filter Information
Data Grids permit the filtering of information to help locate a particular item.
You can select the search option at the bottom of the grid
IMPORTANT:
These search options (1 & 2 & 3) will only locate/search the information loaded in the grid. To search a complete data set you must load the full data set. For example if you wish to use this feature in the patient manager module and have entered a search for a specific patient criteria, only the patients located by this search will be search when using one of these options. If however you have not specified any search criteria and loaded the complete patient list by just clicking on the Apply Search Criteria button resulting in all of the patients being retrieved and loaded in the grid, the Find (option1 & 2 & 3) will search all of the patient file retrieved.

Or you can find based on the column chosen
By selecting, for example, the Custom option from the drop down you can create a unique filter to navigate quickly to an item.
The Grid Navigation bar (2) can also provide filtering / Ask a Question capabilities. (see Database Navigation Bar for explanation of the grid navigation bar icons)
The filtering available in this option is more advanced and permits English like filtering. Users can create questions and the grid will display the records matching the questions asked. In the example below we are searching for patients with a specific birth date.
Print the Grid
Filopto can print the data contained in the grid. Click on the Print button located in the module tool bar. This will print a copy of the grid as displayed.
