The blocked-off Station Table area also includes Þve buttons, arranged
across the top of the table, that can affect the information being displayed in
the table at any given time:
The button in the upper right corner of the blocked-off Station Table area is
a three-selection button that lets you sort the entries displayed in the table.
This button is inactive (grayed-out) until you click on one of the column-
heading buttons at the top of the table, thereby designating the column in
which you are interested. When you click on this sort-function button after
selecting a column of interest, a pop-up menu displays three selection
possibilities: Sort Up, Sort Down, or Un-Sort. Whichever one you select
then becomes the new readout designator for that button, and the table
entries then become rearranged in accordance with whichever sorting
sequence you selected for the given column.
The button just to the left of the sort-function button is a two-selection button
that lets you establish or clear a character string to be used as a Þlter for
selecting speciÞc stations to be listed in the table. This button is inactive
(grayed-out) until you click on one of the column-heading buttons at the top of
the table, thereby designating the column in which you are interested. When
you click on this Þlter-function button after selecting a column of interest, a
pop-up menu displays two selection possibilities: Set Filter and Clear Filter.
Whichever one you select then becomes the new readout designator for that
button, and the table entries then become rearranged in accordance with
whatever Þlter setup has been. If you select the Clear Filter option, any
previously established Þlter mask is removed, allowing the table to list all
connected stations. If you select the Set Filter option, the system displays a
dialog box, named for whichever column heading you last selected, with a one-
line entry Þeld soliciting your character string mask. You have a choice of
entering the desired character string and then clicking on the OK button to
initiate the Þlter setup or else clicking on the Cancel button to exit from this
Þlter-setup process without affecting the existing display.
