The Feature Grid displays all of the features within the selected query. There are several functions you can use that sort, remove, and filter the features within the query.
Double clicking a column heading will sort the features alphabetically or numerically by the information within that column.
There are a couple ways to remove unwanted features from the grid. The first is to select the features you want removed, then clicking the remove button (
) on the view toolbar. The next way would be to select the features you want to keep and clicking the keep selected button (
) on the view toolbar. Holding the Ctrl button allows selection of multiple features, holding the shift button allows selection of a list of features.
The options to Remove Selected and Keep Selected can also be accessed through the View. See the topic Views in CM4Di for more information.
To return all of the features within the query to the feature grid, click in the feature grid, then click the show all button (
) on the view toolbar. All of the features will be returned to the grid.
The option to Show All can also be accessed through the View. See the topic Views in CM4Di for more information.
When CM4Di is started, the grids will be empty. After loading data and selecting a report type, the columns of the grids will display data. You can choose which columns you would like displayed with the Feature Filter Columns dialog. To open the Feature Filter Columns dialog, right click the double bar on the left side of the Feature Grid, then select Choose Columns from the menu or click the Choose Columns button (
) on the iView toolbar. To display individual columns, select the check box next to the column. To select all of the columns in a section click All. To clear all of the check boxes in a section, click the None button.
Under Auto Sort, selecting Natural Order will display the rows of the Feature Grid as they exist in the database. Selecting Feature Label will sort the contents alphabetically by the feature label. Additionally, the rows of the Feature Grid can be sorted in ascending or descending order. Selecting a radio button next to one of the columns will sort the rows of the grid by the contents of that column.
To export one of the grids to CSV (Comma Separated Value), right click the side bar of the grid, then select Export to CSV. The Export Data dialog will appear. Browse to a location where you would like to save the file. Click Setup Print Header/Footer to open the Print Grid Setup dialog.
