Navigating the Record List
The Table View is the primary way to find, display, and open records in Clevr. This layout is designed to help you scan information across multiple records at once so you can quickly locate the specific data you need to work on.
Understanding Column Headers
The top row of the table contains the Column Headers, which label the specific data fields—such as Name, Number, or Due Date—stored within the form.
- Sorting Data: All column headers are interactive. Clicking any header will sort the entire list by that specific column.
- Sort Icons: When a column is sorted, an arrow icon will appear next to the header name.
- Up Arrow (
): Indicates an "Ascending" sort (e.g., A to Z, 1 to 10, or oldest date to newest).
- Down Arrow (
): Indicates a "Descending" sort (e.g., Z to A, 10 to 1, or newest date to oldest).
- Sorting Numbers Like Text: In some columns, the system sorts numbers "character by character" rather than by the total value. This means a number starting with 1 (like 10) might appear before the number 2.
- Identifying Fields: Headers clarify exactly what information is being displayed in the rows below, allowing for quick visual filtering.
Row Interaction
Each horizontal Row in the table represents an individual record.
- Checking Rows: You can click the checkbox on the far left of a row to highlight it. This is a helpful tool for keeping your place while scanning through a long list of data.
- Scanning Content: Rows are designed for "at-a-glance" comparisons, letting you see key details for many people simultaneously without having to open each record individually.
How to Open a Record
Once you have identified the record you need, opening it for viewing or editing is simple:
- Single Click Access: You can open a record by clicking anywhere on its row. There is no need to click a specific "Edit" button; the entire row acts as the entry point to that record.
- Direct Navigation: Note that Clevr does not currently support opening records in new browser tabs; clicking a row will navigate your current window directly into that record.
Page Navigation
If a form has a large number of entries, the table will split them into multiple pages to keep your workspace organized. You can find the navigation controls at the bottom of the table:
- Page Selectors: Use the arrows or page numbers to move forward and backward through your list.
- Rows Per Page: Use the dropdown menu in the bottom corner to choose your preferred display density. You can set the table to show 10, 25, or 100 rows at a time.
- Total Count: The footer displays the total number of records currently found in your active view, letting you know the size of the dataset you are working with.
