Presentation of the table and possible actions
The List view allows you to display assignments as a list in a table, similar to what is found in the Operations tab or in the Shift management window.
Columns in the table are divided into sections: Information about the request (A), Confirmations (B) and Associated employees (C).
It is possible to apply filters and up to 3 sortings on column headers: a default filter is already applied on the date (1), to display only requests from -30 days to +90 days in regards to current date. Most columns are the same as in Operations tab and the Shift management window. However, the column Description displays a description of the request, just as the one displayed in calendar views (Day, Week or Month). Just hover the cursor on this column will display the complete description in a contextual bubble (2).
Furthermore, it is also possible to move the columns or to regroup data based on data in specific columns using the top section (3). Refer to Grouping grid data by column to learn more about this feature.
Finally, some actions can be performed in the table, called by the buttons below on the relevant line.
|
This button, just to the right of the Request no., allows you to open the shift file. If there is no request no. displayed, that means the shift is part of a grouped request recurrent schedule, and the specific shift has not been created yet. Clicking on the button will then open the grouped request file.
|
|
This button, which can be found in columns Description and Workplace, allows you to display the complete information in a field with longer content. Clicking on it will open a note box with the full text. .Just hover the cursor on it will display the complete description in a contextual bubble.
|
|
Allows you to view or modify the selected option in a list of values, especially the Status of the request.
|
|
Allows the user to display the file associated to an entry. You will find this button in most columns referring to a file in the system, such as the client, group (if shift is part of a grouped request) or any items linked to a file.
|
|
In confirmation section, this buttion allows you to quickly send a confirmation email to either the candidate or the client.
|
|
If the column Periods in Information about the request section is displayed, this button just to the right of the column will display the PRIM010 window, allowing you to view the working periods in a split shift.

Grouping grid data by column
In addition to filters and sortings on column headers, the grid type used in this table allows you to regroup records using the data in one of the columns. For example, you could regroup requests by Request type in a candidate filling several functions, or by recipient client, workplace, or any other relevant column in the grid. It is therefore possible to combine several hierarchical groupings.
In the example below, we have a candidate who can work as Packer or as Security agent, so we grouped together assignments using the Request type, first then Recipient client.
1.Click on the header Request type, then, holding down the mouse button, drag the column title to the top section and release the button.
Red lines  will be displayed, showing you where the column will be moved if you release the button. This action also allows you to move the column in the table. If you want to regroup the records using this column, you must move it in the top section (3).
2.Click on the header Recipient client, then, holding down the mouse button, drag the column title to the top section and release the button.
3.The top section now shows the grouping hierarchy: first by request type, then by recipient client.
4.The data in the table have been reorganized, and the bold headings represent the groupings.
5.Any sorting applied to a column will be performed within each grouping. In our example, date sorting is therefore performed within each grouping.
