Refreshing Grid

When the primary grid is refreshed, the latest data is collected from the data server. Until the grid gets refreshed again, this view of the data will not be updated to reflect any changes. A refresh occurs automatically whenever a new node is chosen. To force a refresh without changing nodes, press the Refresh Grid button.

Changing Order of the Columns

Each workstation PC can customize the ThruPut screen in several ways, including the position and width of the columns in the data grid. These changes are stored and remembered even when the PC is turned off. Your strategy in altering the column’s default positions is to have the columns that you work with most at the left of the grid where they can be accessed quickly and are always visible. Columns that are not used or are less important can be pushed off the visible area on the right. To alter a column’s position, do the following:

• Each move requires a source column and a target column...when the move is completed the source column will be moved into a new position just in front of the target column.
• Figure out how the final column order can be achieved by successive applications of the move...for example, start with the column you want to appear first in the grid as the source column and use the current first column as the target.
• Click and drag in the source column’s header area, and drop in the header area of the target column. The source column should be redrawn in its new position in front of the target column.
• Repeat with the second column you want to appear in the grid, and so on. If the source column and target column are not both visible at the same time you will have to break the move up into several steps.
