Hierarchy Button Style

Choose the style of buttons that are presented in the hierarchies, for expanding and collapsing branches.

The "Refined plus/minus" style is clearly visible even in selected rows of the hierarchy.

Advanced List Filtering

Check this box if you want to gain control over the asterisk symbol in column filters, which enables you to specify filters of type "starts with" and "ends with", rather than only filters of type "contains".

It also enables the input of ?, which matches any single character.

?        A question mark matches any single character.

*        An asterisk matches any string of zero or more characters.

Simple Filtering

simplefilter_zoom25

Filtering is used to reduce the set of rows in a list. A filter is a column condition: Show only those rows in which a specified column meets a specified condition.

You enter a filter condition by first clicking the little square box FilterBox at the right edge of a column label. Clear a filter by clicking the redex at the bottom of the list.

Popups

Here a "popup" refers to the information bubble that appears when the mouse is hovered over the icon associated with a data object.

A popup shows select information about a data object, providing a quick and easy alternative to obtaining that same information through the object's editor workscreens. This quicker access to an object's properties is especially helpful when viewing several objects in succession.
