You can use the UserTracking application to customize the display of database queries and to save the screen display tables.
You can customize how information is displayed by sorting the rows, resizing columns, rearranging the order of columns, and by specifying only certain types of information to display.
To sort the table on a particular column, follow these steps:
Step 1 Position the cursor over the column header for the field on which you want to sort. The cursor changes to a cross.
Step 2 Click in the column header.
The table is redisplayed with the rows sorted in ascending order.
Step 3 To resort the table in descending order, click again on the same column heading.
When the result of a query is displayed, each column is automatically sized to accommodate the widest data item. You can also resize the columns for best readability.
To resize a column, follow these steps:
Step 1 Position the cursor over the right edge of a column.
The cursor changes to a double arrow.
Step 2 Press and drag the border to the desired column width.
When you do a query using the default screen layout, UserTracking displays all the fields for each record matching your query, filtered by the currently selected choice from the Action>Display submenu. You can display subsets of this information or rearrange the order of the columns by creating your own customized layout.
You can create and save a custom table layout that displays the information you are interested in with the columns in the order you specify.
To create a custom layout, follow these steps:
Step 1 In the Screen Layout box of the UserTracking main window, select the layout that most closely approximates what you want to design. This layout will be the basis for your customized layout.
Step 2 Click Customize.
The Customize window opens (Figure 4-1).
Step 3 Click New Layout and enter a name for the new screen layout.
Step 4 Select a column to work with by clicking a column name at the top of the window.
Step 5 Click Move Left to move the selected column left by one column; click Move Right to move the column right; click Delete to delete the column from the display.
Step 6 To insert a column for a field not currently displayed, select the column name from the popup list and click Add.
The new column is inserted to the left of the currently selected column.
Step 7 To preview your new layout, click Apply.
The screen display table is redisplayed with the new layout. When you click Apply, the layout name also appears in the popup list in the Screen Layouts box in the UserTracking main window and is saved for future use.
Step 8 Click OK to close the Customize window when you have finished making changes; click Close to close the window and revert to the layout you started with.
To use a layout that you have customized and saved:
The data in the screen display table is formatted using the selected layout.
UserTracking allows you to save the current screen display table to a tab-delimited text file.
To save the currently displayed table, follow these steps:
Step 1 Select File>Export Table from the UserTracking main window.
The Save As window opens.
Step 2 Navigate to the directory where you want to save the file.
Step 3 Enter a filename.
Step 4 Click Save.
