Sorting Columns
Columns can be sorted in ascending or descending
order, and multiple sorts can be applied (up to four
levels).
To sort by columns:
 Click the column title header.
It is often helpful to perform a secondary sort (for
example, to sort by tape and timestamp).
To add a secondary sort:
 Option-click (Mac) or Alt-click (Windows) the
column title for the secondary sort criteria.
To toggle the current sort order between
ascending and descending:
 Click the Sort toggle arrow, at the top of the ver-
tical scroll bars.
Column Data
In DigiBase browsers, each row of data represents
an item in a database (such as a file, session, or vol-
ume). Each column displays specific data for an
item, as follows.
Status The Status column is the first column on the
left, and it displays the status of each item, as fol-
lows.
Name Displays the name of the file, folder, vol-
ume, catalog, or session. This text field is editable
in all DigiBase browsers except Catalogs.
A Designates volumes for audio R (Record and
Playback), P (Playback only), or T (Transfer).
Available in the Workspace browser only.
V Designates volumes as video R (Record and
Playback), P (Playback only), or T (Transfer).
Available in the Workspace browser only.
Kind Displays whether the volume, folder, catalog,
or file. For files, this column displays what kind of
file it is: session file, audio file, video file, or other.
This field cannot be edited. For audio files, this
column also indicates whether the file is sample-
based to tick-based.
Size Displays the size of a file in kilobytes. For
folders, the total size of all files in the folder is dis-
played. This field cannot be edited.
