Exports
At the bottom right corner of the list, appear an Excel and Acrobat icon. Click these to export
t
he list contents as either an Excel spreadsheet (.xls), or a pdf file. These download to the
default download location you have configured on your browser.
Snap Panels (Reference Tree)
These vary, depending on the portlet, but the convention of displaying a Refere
nce Tree
panel is common. This displays items related to the selected list item in tree form. Click the
plus (+) to expand a node on the tree.
Click Return to previous in the upper right corner of the expanded portlet to return to the page
where you started, with the smaller portlet. If the page you are on has a “breadcrumb trail” of
intervening detail pages (for example), you can click an intervening page’s breadcrumb if you
do not want to return to the previous screen
Mandatory Fields
Some portlets include editors. These appear after you select an item, right-click, and select
either New or Open. Mandatory fields in these editors appear with a red flag icon to their
right.
Sorting
Sorting tables that list items occurs when you click a column heading. The arrow to the right
of that heading’s text displays the direction of the sort (ascending or descending). When the
arrow appears in a heading, the selected column is the basis for sorting.
