Lost in The Grid (No More)

Wednesday, July 6, 2011

We noticed that with lots of filtering and scrolling in the grid, you might lose track of your selected row(s). You could scroll up and down to look them up, but this could become tedious when you have hundreds of rows. Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best. Here´s what we did.

So you got this invoice selected in the grid. It is highlighted in orange.



You now decide to filter the grid to look for all "East Coast" invoices that have status "Payment Complete = No".



Ok, cool. We´re done with that and clear the filters. Hang on, where did my selected row go? It must have scrolled outside the visible area.



To get the selected row back in the visible area, we simply click on the selected-row-counter button.



And the selected row moves back in the view port!



Lost-No-More will be available in maintenance pack 1 (Openbravo 3-MP1) due for end of next week.
