Filter

Filters may be added to restrict the contents of the grid to only display transactions that match a specified criterion.  Click Filter on the ribbon, add the filter criteria, choose the field, instruction and condition, e.g. where the amount exceeds £250,000.  Filters are a quick and easy way to search.  The filter is an on/off option.

Group By

To group transactions, click Group By on the ribbon and then drag the column title to the group area at the top of the grid. Sub groupings may be added by dragging further column titles to the area. To remove a grouping, drag the group title back to the grid.  Group settings are persevered and automatically used the next time you view transactions.

Field chooser

The Show Field Chooser option displays the Field Chooser dialog, which allows you to add or remove columns from a grid using drag and drop or double click.
