GRIDS HELP

Let's look at a typical tab that contains a grid control. Here you can see a search panel (reformatted to occupy the top line of the form instead of the upper left corner) over a grid.

Users can modify these grids at run time, rearranging and resizing columns. To move a column, click in the column header to highlight it.

Once you have a column selected, hold down the left mouse button and drag the column to the new position. Here we have dragged it all the way to the left.

Now we need to resize the column to show all of the Operator names. Move the mouse up into the column header and place it over the dividing line between "Operator" and "API Wellno". (When you have the cursor in the right spot it turns into a double-headed arrow.) Now click and drag the mouse to the left to resize the column.

Of course you can always just export the grid data to Excel and reformat it on your own machine.
It should also be noted that all data in the grid can be sorted by clicking once on a column header. For example, to bring production data into the correct order, click once on the header of the "Report Date" column. Click a second time on the same column header to reverse the sort order.
