| Named Lists Pane | Hide or show the Named Lists Pane. When visible, this pane displays on the right side of the Records Window. It contains 3 panels - one above the other. The topmost panel shows all Named Lists in the current file. The middle panel shows all records belonging to whichever Named List is selected in the topmost panel. The bottom panel shows the list note associated with whichever item is selected in the middle panel - you can edit this note (or add a new one) by typing directly in this panel. |

| Configure Record Window Columns/Configure List Columns | This command can be used to open the dialog to choose and configure the columns to be displayed in the Records Window or the middle panel of the Named Lists pane, depending on whichever is active. |
| Keep Current List Order | The records in a selected Named List are displayed in the middle panel of the Named Lists Pane. You can easily sort the list by clicking on any column heading (or press ALT while clicking to reverse the sort). You can also use the Move Up and Move Down buttons in the top right corner of the list, to move items. However, when you do these things, the new list order is only temporary. If you switch to another list and then switch back, the list will revert to its previous order. If you re-order a list and want to preserve the new list order, click on . |
