Hierarchical Structures

These screens allows you to create and maintain Hierarchical Structures which can be used to organise things like Items and Descriptors in a more structured format.

This is useful, for example, when organising a Sales Catalog of Items and Descriptors in the Freeway Mobility app where users can look for items in a more structured way.

Field Position - On the List screen you can move the field position by dragging the column heading left or right to the position where you want it to appear.

To sort the data in a selected column simply click on the column heading.  Clicking against will sort in descending order.

Click on the black ‘down arrow’ to the right of your selected column heading and you can either select a specific entry to display all records containing that entry, or you can select (Custom…) to enter detailed selection criteria.

 

Searching - If you enter some text into the ‘Search’ field and click on the ‘binoculars’ Icon then all records will be interrogated and those records that contain the entered text will be displayed.  To revert back to displaying all records click on the ‘Eraser’ Icon
