Data is presented in a grid located on the bottom half of the main screen of EZ-Scan. Each row of the grid represents one item in the database. Each column represents one data field stored in the database for that item. Each row is referred to as a record. Each column can be referred to as a field.
You can re-arrange the order of the columns in the grid. Click in the center of the column header and drag the column to the location desired. EZ-Scan will remember the order of the grid fields for you next time you run the program.
You can adjust the column widths by placing your cursor between two columns. Your cursor will turn to a double bar with arrows on each side. Hold down the left button of the mouse and drag to make the column larger or smaller. EZ-Scan will remember all column widths for you next time you run the program.
You can sort on any columns by double-clicking on the header. The sort direction will reverse each time that you click on the header. First click will be ascending, next click will be descending. If you have a large amount of data in the grid it may take a few seconds to sort.
