Library Results Column Sorting

A new and very useful feature has been introduced on our newest version of our Online Library. When viewing search results for part or vendor queries, some columns have been enabled for sorting. Each table can be sorted independently from each other and there is no reloading of the page or re-querying. Columns that are enabled for sorting will show double arrows next to the column title and will change to an arrow showing ascending or descending when clicked. See screenshot below:

Column Sorting

In the image above you can see that three columns are enabled for sorting. The image below shows the third column being sorted in ascending order.

Column Sorting - Sorted
Parts and Vendor Library search history

A great new feature has been added to Parts and Vendor search pages which remembers the user's most recent successful searches. Once the query is submitted and results are returned, that search criteria will be saved and displayed the next time the user is ready to do another search. Not only do we now remember the up to seven search criteria, but we also remember it across sessions so the user can log in from any computer/browser using the same username and password.

The Image below shows what most users are used to seeing, an empty search box ready for the query.

Search History Empty

The image below shows the search box populated with the last search key. Not visible here, you will also notice that the last search type will also be selected. To search on one of the previous searches stored on your history simply click on the search key and the query will be executed the results will be displayed.



When search history is displayed, hover over the search key and the search type and key will be displayed. In addition, if particular search history set needs to be deleted, click on the delete icon displayed next to the search key. If all search history needs to be deleted, just click on the delete all link at the end of the search history display.
