Advanced View Window

This window can be used to change the look of the list including deciding which columns will be displayed. On the left are columns that you can add to the list. In the middle are the columns already in the list.

You'll notice that Fusion shows you the relative speed of each column. Most columns are Normal which means they can get data from the server and display it very quickly. A few columns are labeled as Slow, Very Slow, and even Extremely Slow. Only use these columns when you really need them as they can take longer to display.

To add new columns to the list, drag them from the list on the left to the list in the middle. You can drop them into whichever position you like. To remove a column, select it in the middle list and click the - button. To rearrange the order of the columns, click and drag them in the middle list.

At the top on the right are the attributes for the entire list:

• Column Lock. You can have Fusion lock any number of the left most columns in the list. This means that when you scroll horizontally, the locked columns will not move. For example, if the Lot Name was the first column, you would probably want to lock it so that when you scrolled horizontally to see more information you could still see what lot the information belonged to.
• Header Row Height. You can change the header row height to accommodate multiple lines of text in the header or larger font sizes in the header. For default font sizes, we recommend 17 pixels for 1 line heigh, 34 pixels for 2 lines, and 51 pixels for three lines.
• List Row Height. Similarly, you can determine the row height in the list itself. This is usually 20 pixels, but you could make it higher for a larger font or to make it easier to select on a touch screen.

The rest of the right side is for setting attributes for the selected column's header or column. This includes the font, size, style, coloring, etc. You can even change the header label and you can enter multiple lines for the label. This allows you to to have very readable labels while keeping the column width narrower.

When you are done changing the advanced view click the View button to see what it looks like. If you need to make further modifications, simply open this window again and continue to make changes. Note that if you resize or reorder columns in the list itself, when you open this window again your changes will be reflected there. This is especially useful for column widths as it is easier to set it visually then enter a number of pixels in most cases.

Saved Views

If you find you are using the same view over and over, you can save it as a saved view. To do this, click the Saved Views… button and choose one of these options:

• Save As…. When you choose this option you will prompted to enter a name for the saved view. If you enter a name that already exists, Fusion will ask if you want to replace the older saved view.
• Load. If you have previously created saved views, you will be able to choose one of them from this menu. It will then be loaded into the window for use.
• Default View For Window → Set Just For Me. Takes the current view and makes it the default view when you open this window.
• Default View For Window → Set Global. This is the same as the above option but it sets it globally so it will be the view that is in effect whenever any user opens this window. However, if another user has set their own default view, it will take precedence over a global view.
• Default View For Window → Clear My Default. Clears your personal default view for when the window opens.
• Default View For Window → Clear Global Default. Clears the global default view for when the window opens.
