Toolbar IconsDescription
Column Filter Show/Hide Toggles between displaying and hiding a filter row in the grid under the column headers. The filter row will be displayed by default if the Quick Column Filter is also implemented in the page. When enabled, this will allow users to type in text to filter by a specific column.
Excel Exports the contents of the grid to an Excel file that will automatically download. The contents that export are those that are visible to the user. Therefore, if the user has filtered the view, or excluded columns, only the contents in the grid will be exported. 
Group By Show/Hide Toggles between displaying and hiding a row in the grid above the column headers to enable grouping by one or more column(s). Once displayed, users may drag and drop column headers to group by a specific column. Once the grid is grouped by a column(s), a subtotal footer row will display in the grouping for columns that have a page footer total. 
Quick Column Filter Used to filter across all columns in the grid. When the user types text into the Quick Column Filter text box, the grid's Filter Row will be automatically hidden. The text in the Quick Column Filter text box automatically replaces any existing Filter Row filters. The results of the data immediately refresh as you enter text.
Saved Layouts Displays the column layout lookup and related icons. This tool allows users to select a previously saved layout, create a new layout, save changes to a layout, forget/delete a layout and/or assign a saved layout as the default for the page. Once changes are made to the layout, such as columns are added or removed, the user can click the Save Layout icon and save the changes to the column layout. The visibility of the Filter Row is also saved with a saved layout. The new layout can also be set as the default. This is useful for creating specific views to separate master files or transaction types (i.e. Invoice specific vs. Credit Memo specific).  Default layouts can be removed by clicking the 'Set as Default' button again when the current default layout is selected.  

Please note that existing saved grid layouts will display the Filter Row as hidden by default.

Vendor ID

Vendor IDs are used as a short description and unique identifier for Vendor records. They can be changed at any time to any alphanumeric value. If you do not have an existing strategy for Vendor IDs the 3-3-2 method would be recommended. This is a text box that defaults to blank for new records, is required and must be <= 50 characters. If not assigned, the message "Vendor Processing Failed: ([VendorID]): Vendor ID is required." will be displayed on Save. This value must be unique across all AP Vendor, Fishermen, Tender, and Loan accounts. If not unique, the message "Vendor Processing Failed: ([VendorID]): Duplicate Vendor IDs are not allowed." will be displayed on Save. This is always editable, but only in systems that are not integrating Vendors with a third party system. To be editable, the "Vendor" 'Transaction Type on both the 'Inbound to NorthScope' and 'Outbound from NorthScope' Integration Modes  must be set to "None" on the Integration Configuration page.
