Working with Columns in the Handheld Client


Data is displayed in lists and forms in your Siebel Handheld application. You can organize and work within it in a number of ways to better suit your needs.

There are several ways in which to organize columns in a list. You can:

  • Sort data by up to three columns
  • Resize columns
  • Change the order in which the columns appear
  • Show and hide columns
  • Lock columns for horizontal scrolling

You can sort records in a list by tapping in the column header of the column in which you want to sort the records. If the green column sort indicator points up, the column is sorted in ascending order. If it points down, the column is sorted in descending order.

If you need to sort by more than one column, you can open the Sort Order dialog box to sort up to three columns at one time. Open the Sort Order dialog box by choosing View > Advanced Sort from the application-level menu.

Resize columns by tapping and dragging the divider between the column headings until the column is the desired size.

You can change the order of columns using the Columns Displayed dialog box. Open the Columns Displayed dialog box by choosing View > Columns Displayed.

Show and hide columns using the Columns Displayed dialog box. In the Available columns list, select the items you want to show and tap the arrow to move the selected items to the Selected columns list. To hide columns, select the items and tap the arrow to move the selected items to the Available columns list.

Lock or unlock columns by tapping and holding the column header.
