Viewing and Sorting a List of Users 
If the screen shows only one user (forms

listing of the users (Grid view). If any column

toolbar-button to access that user's form; 
 Limit the list to show an individual user, or 
groups of users (details to follow).

window to view additional columns to the right.

indicate users that apply to multiple accounts (shared 
users). Related Topic

Green or Yellow Rows in Grid View
: Partial panel 
updates are indicated in the user list with special 
colours: Yellow

user has been changed while partial updates were

overwritten on next update). 
Checking for Database Conflicts 
(esp. large 
systems): Differences between the software 
database and settings entered locally through an LCD 
keypad can be identified by selecting "Check

Access the user-list (Grid view) as described 
above. Then, right-click within a specific 
column (such as "Name"), and select "Filter 
on Column" from the pop-up menu. Now, 
enter or select the desired criteria, and press 
Enter.

certain letter(s) by entering the letter(s) and an asterisk 
(e.g., " s*
 "). 
Tip: You can do this for multiple columns if desired. 
V4.7 (users-only): The column title(s) selected for 
filtering will initially appear blue, and turn to red when 
you activate the selected filtering by right-clicking any 
column, and selecting "Run Filter". You must select 
"Run Filter". 
To return the listing to include all users / 
entrants, click Refresh from the toolbar, or 
right-click within any column(s) that are red, 
and select Remove Column Filter. 
Forms View or Grid View?  
Grid view is best for viewing a list of users, and/or 
searching for users with a specific assigned value. 
Forms view is best for adding a new user, or viewing 
or changing settings for one user at a time.
