Sec. 2, View/Sort Data

2.1 View Activities summary list
The opening screen of the Activities and Awards program displays a summary list of activities the student has participated in and awards they have received. Three data fields are displayed in read-only mode: Begin Date, Type, and Code. View the entirety of the list by using the scroll bars, if necessary. To see more details on a selected entry, go to Step 2.3.

2.2 Sort Activities summary list
By default, the list is sorted in ascending order by the Begin Date field. The list can be re-sorted in ascending or descending order based on any of the other fields.

• Sort list, Method #1

• Open the Sort menu (Fig. 4). Select (highlight) a field to sort on in the upper portion of the menu. The selection can be made by using the arrow keys, by using a mouse, or by pressing the underlined shortcut letter of the selection. The Sort menu will automatically close after a selection is completed. The selected field will become the primary sort field.

• To define a sort direction, open the Sort menu again. The primary sort field on will have a check mark beside it (Fig. 5). Select 'Ascending' or 'Descending' using the same method as above. The list will now be re-sorted according to the new parameters selected (Fig. 6). The new sorting order is temporary only. The default sorting order is reinstated when the program is quit and reopened.
