Personalizing Column and Sort Order within the Pagelet Grids

Managers can personalize the columns that appear in many of the Manager Dashboard pagelets. You do this by clicking the Personalize link on the pagelet above the grid. These pagelets allow you to change column and sort order within the pagelet grids:

  • Pending Approvals

  • Direct Line Reports

  • My Job Openings

This topic discusses how to personalize the content of the pagelet grids.

Use the Personalize Column and Sort Order page to manage the column and sorting order of a grid within a pagelet.

Use this page to hide, freeze, or reorder columns in your pagelet. All the dashboard Personalize Column and Sort Order pages are similar to the example shown here, where the fields that available for personalizing are specific to the grid columns available in the pagelet.

To hide a column, click a column name in the left column and select the Hidden check box. When you freeze a column, all the columns that precede it will also be frozen.

The rows in a grid typically sort by a predefined order. For example, the My Job Openings pagelet displays rows of data in descending order of job opening number. To override this default sort order, click the column or columns you want to sort data by. Click the Add to Sort right arrow button to move the rows to the Sort Order group box. The grid rows sort by the order you have the columns listed here. Click a column name in the Sort Order group box and select the Descending check box to have the rows sort in descending order.

To change the order of columns, click the column and use the Move Up and Move Down arrows to change the column order.

Changing the Column Order to a Different Tab for Direct Line Reports

The Direct Line Reports pagelet is different in that the columns are grouped by tabs on the pagelet grid for ease of viewing. The page lists the tab names preceded by the word Tab. Columns that should appear in this tab are listed under this tab name. To change a column to a different tab, click the column name and move it under the designated Tab name.
