List Header
In your work on your project you might use any of a number of 'listing' reports in which information is organized in several columns. Such reports include the:
| • | Package Browser |
| • | Diagram List |
| • | Model Search |
| • | Model Mail window |
| • | Attribute and Operation dialog General pages |
| • | Testing and Maintenance tabs of the QA Reports and Metrics view |
| • | The Gantt View |
| • | The Project Management window |
In these reports, you can quickly and easily reorganize the sequence and combination of columns to present the information in the most appropriate format to suit your needs, and filter the data according to the values of the text strings displayed in the column fields.

View Header |
The View Header defines the columns of information that are presented by the report, and the order in which data items are presented. To review the column headings:
This enables you to add columns to or remove columns from the output; between them, the View Header and Field Chooser dialog show the full range of column headers available. To add a column heading to the View Header:

Value Grouping |
For most reports, and when the Package Browser or Diagram List is in User Defined format, you can organize the reported data according to the value of one or more of the column categories (this facility is not available in the Package Browser in Model Hierarchy format). You might organize the data by Type, and within each Type by Name; if you then click on any of the other column headings, the data within this grouping is further sorted with the values of the selected column (for example, Created) in ascending or descending order. To set up the value grouping, drag the column heading representing the primary grouping (such as Author) onto the Drag a column header here to group by that column field. Now drag the column heading for the next level of grouping (such as Status) to the right of the first heading; the two heading titles display as connected blocks, as shown below:
You can, if required, add further levels of grouping by dragging other column headings onto the hierarchy (such as Created), and restructure the order by dragging existing or additional headings into the level you want them to hold. For example, you could make Type the secondary grouping by dragging it to the right of Author, or drop Status between Author and Type. To remove a grouping level, drag the appropriate column heading out of the sequence and below the View header; any subordinate groupings move up a level.

The Filter Bar displays underneath the column headings; you can hide or show it using the Toggle Filter Bar icon in the toolbar, or the context menu option. The Filter Bar consists of a row of fields, one field per column; as you type a value into one of these fields, the Package Browser results are automatically filtered to show entries with a value in the corresponding column that match the value in the field. The filter is case sensitive. For example, if you type the letter F in the Filter Bar field under the Author column, the results immediately reduce to entries for which the author name includes a capital F, such as Fred, Frank, Felix, Felicity, Fairmile, Farmer or Fitzgibbon (but none where the name includes f only as a lower case letter, such as Rufus). If you then go on to type Fi, the results immediately reduce again to show only entries for which the author name includes Fi, such as Fitzgibbon.
