Table Rows and Columns

In tables on MYOB Advanced forms, tabs, or dialog boxes, each row represents an object or detail (such as an account, an inventory item, a document row, or a journal entry) and each column shows a parameter of the object or detail in the particular row.

Shortcut Menu

Right-clicking within the rows of a table opens a shortcut menu. The commands you see in the menu, which depend on the table you are working with, are mostly duplicates of actions on the table toolbar, but they offer you easier access to them. The unique menu commands are described in the following table. For description of other commands, see Table Toolbar.

Option Description
Clear Column Filter Clears the simple filter that you have applied to the selected column.
Filter by This Cell Value Filters the data in the table by the value of the selected cell, causing only rows with this value in this column to be displayed. For details, see To Filter the Data in a Table.

You can use the Column Configuration dialog box to work with tables in ways that better suit your needs. By using this dialog box, you can do the following:

  • Change the visibility of the columns in the table

  • Save your changes to the table layout, including the quick filters and sorting you have applied to the table

To open the Column Configuration dialog box, you click the Column Configuration () button (the leftmost icon among the column headers), shown in the screenshot below.
