IFS Cloud Web facilitates the usage of tables to display details easily.
Using Tables
In IFS Cloud web, you will come across tables on pages that show an overview
or details. These tables allow you to handle multiple records simultaneously.
They are also present in master-detail pages, which have a header and rows,
similar to the Customer Order page.
Note: You can customize the order, size,
and visibility of columns in these tables. The columns can be read-only,
editable, or locked for editing. Some pages let you edit existing records or
create new ones, especially those dealing with basic data. For more complex
data, you'll often use detail pages or master/detail pages.
Selection Of Data
IFS Cloud tables offer flexibility in data selection by allowing you
to combine mouse controls with keyboard shortcuts. This feature enables
you to choose and access your preferred data more quickly and
conveniently.
To exclusively select a specific row, simply Click
anywhere within the row or click the Check Box.
To select multiple rows, Click on the Check
Box next to each row or Shift + Click
anywhere.
To quickly choose all the rows in a range, follow these steps:
Click anywhere in the first row.
Hold down the Shift key and
click on the last row in the range.
This will select all the rows between the first
and last rows you clicked on.
To select multiple rows dispersed throughout the table, hold down
the Ctrl button while Clicking on each
desired row.
Note:
After selecting a row, you'll be able to view and use all the
allowed controls specific to that row. These controls will be accessible
in the command bar.
If you select multiple rows in the table, you'll only see the
common controls that are shared among those selected rows in the command
bar.
