Changing the order of columns appearing in a grid form, such as Voucher entry lower grid section

This tip applies only to Solomon users.

This change requires that you own the customization manager module.   Check your registration area, to confirm if this module is listed, if you are not sure if your company owns this module.  This module allows us to access the grid properties for each field.   The order in which the columns appear when in grid view is determined by the TabIndex property of each field. The lower the TabIndex property the sooner it will appear in the grid.

The TabIndex property does not change the positioning of the field when in form view.

The steps to make the change in the order are:

1. To access the TabIndex property, open the desired Solomon IV screen.

 2. Start Customization Manager from the Customize drop down box on the Solomon Toolbar.

 3. Select the field that needs to be moved and select Property Window from the Customize drop down box.

 4. Locate the TabIndex property.

 5. Change the TabIndex property to a lower number to move the column to the left in the grid, or choose a higher number to move the column to the right in the grid.

 6. Once the desired changes are made Save and Exit Customization Manager.

Re open this modified screen and confirm the changes are as desired.
