I’m sure this has been asked and answered, probably a few hundred times. If I missed the memo, my apologies…
Can we get a method to change (add/remove) columns on the Places screen in RM11?
I’d like to have a column for ‘Used’ and ‘Abbrev’, but I’m willing to bet many other folks would like to see other columns available (maybe Note?).
Thanks
This is a very excellent suggestion!
I think “Hide/unhide” and/or reorder would be helpful
I’m probably having a senior moment, but I don’t quite understand. Can you explain please? Is this different from the existing Used tag on the Edit Place screen?
The idea is to get some of the data from the right hand panel into the columns on the left. For example, you can see the place name in a column, so you can see many place names all at the same time. But you can only see the Abbrev data in the right hand panel. It would be extremely useful to have Abbrev as a column so you could see many Abbrev values all at the same time.
The columns also need to be filterable and sortable.
In addition to Abbrev, it would be useful to have Note, Note, Media, Tasks, and WebTabs as columns. These columns wouldn’t have enough room for full data, but they could at least work like the Details column where there is a clickable count.
Jerry explained for me quite well. In my current need with over 1,000 places (so far) in my database, I wanted to show / determine which places do not have an Abbrev value. Most of my senetence templates are using the abbreviation data, since presently almost all of my locations are in the states, Canada or the U.K..
But, at some future point, I might need to know which have Note, Media or Task data. It would be far easier to see the need on this screen and edit here rather than generating a report, filing it, then screen hopping from the report to RM11.
