Using the lists


The objects’ lists are a useful alternative to the explorer window. They allow you to see information and navigate through the data. Lists are extremely easy to manage. Here are the options offered:
  1. Change the columns’ order by dragging and dropping.

  2. Display or hide any column: although, you can not remove or hide the last column. The default list of columns (also called fields) can be defined for a specific list. If no selection is made, all possible fields will be displayed. Columns can be added via a pop-up menu, which you will find on top of the table.

  3. Sort Ascending or Sort Descending any column; click the column’s name. The sorted order will be indicated by a triangle pointing upward or downward as well as a color gradation (from pale to dark for ascending order).

  4. Resize the columns’ length.

  5. Save each lists’ setting separately.

  6. Set, via the pop-up menu, the horizontal and vertical lines display.

  7. Access pop-up menus by right-clicking an object in the list.

You can display the lists in three ways:
  1. In the main menu select Display > List > the object you want to have listed.

  3. From the explorer or the diagram window, select the object you want to have listed by right-clicking it and from the pop-up menu choose List.
