You can add, remove, or change the order of the columns in the grid by clicking to the right of the grid. This opens the List View Settings dialog box. Click to filter the grid contents based on column values. For information about how the filter works, see Filter the Grid Results.

	After you have switched to list view, click the Switch to Detailed View icon to switch back to the detailed view of the form.

The detail view is the format that is described in help topics in the Help system.
