When grouped the list instantly
re-arranges itself in tidy groups based on whatever column was
selected. In the above example we grouped on the Category. Maybe
we're looking for some nuts and bolts and wanted to see what
types we had on the shelf.. All inventory control systems offer
a search facility where you'd type in search criteria. We find
that this 'Group By' capability is much quicker especially when
you're not quite sure what you're looking for.
Of course we offer simple search
as well. You can't see it on the screen above but there's search
boxes for part number and description and as you type the list
is redrawn with every keypress eliminating all non-matching records
meaning you don't need to type a whole partnumber or description
to narrow down the list to just the record or records you want
to see. |
