Menu
In the left side of the screen you can find the main menu.
The menu is divided in different main areas - each containing several sub-items. In the screenshot below, the “Partners” area is selected :
Note that you can quickly reach an areas default page by double-clicking on the area.
Breadcrumb Navigation
For each page you visit in Link, a breadcrumb trail will be created in the top left corner.
You can use this trail to quickly go back to previous pages in the same section by clicking on the corresponding page name. In the example screenshot above, you can click on 'Result' to be redirected back to your search result page without re-performing the search.
How to use Link’s grid
In many of the pages in Link, you will find a grid containing a list of items (e.g. documents or partners).
TODO: INSERT GOOD SCREENSHOT HERE
These grids have some nice features that it is valuable to know.
Filtering
In order to exclude certain rows from the data grid you can make use of filtering. The filtering option is located to the right of the column name. By clicking it a window will appear, which show you the different values for the selected column. Click the checkbox next to the value to filter by it. 'Select All' will filter by all the values. See the animation below for further reference.
Filter row
In the Tracking Menu you have the possibility of activating a filter to filter in each row with the magnifying glass as shown below.
This is not set up default, but can be activated from the menu “Settings” / “My profile” / “User specific settings”.
Go to related information
In a grid there are some quick-actions available for a specific item - this makes it faster to jump to related areas.. To see this menu, left-click an item and then right click. The example below comes from Tracking, but Link works in a similar way from the other menus points (Partners, Distributions and Transport).
Grouping
Organizing data in groups can help you get a quick overview of your data set. To group your data, drag the desired column into the small space above the data grid, where this text is displayed: "Drag a column header here to group by that column". See the animation below for further reference.
Column Chooser
This option makes it possible to customize which columns should be displayed in the data grid. Some columns are selected by default. When selecting it, you will be presented with a small window that contains all the columns that are not currently in use.
You can scroll while hovering your mouse over window box to see additional columns. To insert a new column you must drag it from the window to to the data grid. A blue line will appear when dragging, which means the column will be placed between the two columns. You can drag any column back to the window in the same manner. See the animation below for further reference.
