Orientation to the Program Log Window

You use the Program Log Window to edit and view the Program Log transactions. A toolbar gives you quick access to common tasks, and an optional Total window shows the CBB and TAB totals. The Program Log Grid displays the information about each Program Log transaction. Each transaction is represented by a single row.

Program Log Listing

MPM automatically sorts all Program Log transactions by transaction date each time you open the Program Log window.

Navigating the Program Log Grid

To navigate through the fields in the Program Log grid:

To advance to the next or previous field, press the Tab, Shift+Tab or Arrow keys.
To move between rows, use the Up and Down Arrow keys.
Use the horizontal scroll bar to bring additional columns into view. When dragging the horizontal scroll bar, a pop-up displays the current Log field.
Use the vertical scroll bar to bring additional rows into view. When dragging the vertical scroll bar, a pop-up displays the current Program Log row and number.
To move to any cell, click the cell with the mouse.

Displaying and Hiding Program Log Fields

MPM displays the Program Log fields as columns in the Program Log grid. You can display or hide any or all of the columns, using Format » Column Hide. To select a column, click in the column's heading. To select or deselect multiple columns, use the Shift key while clicking the mouse button as you normally would within Windows.

Filtering Program Log Transactions

You can filter the Program Log to display only the transactions you need to see. To do this, click Tools » Filter or click Filter to select a subset of transactions by customer reference, internal reference, or a range of log dates. Selecting one of the menu options brings up a dialog box with a list box of available values to choose from. To turn off filtering, choose All Data.

Checking the Totals Window

At any point in your editing process, you can easily check your totals by looking at the Totals window. Bring up the Totals window by either clicking View » Total Window, or clicking $image\winm0119_wmf.gif$ Total. This window is a floating toolbox that is always on top. You can leave it up while you continue your editing, or close it. The menu option shows $image\winm0120_wmf.gif$ if the Totals Window is toggled on. This window shows CBB, TAB, and the variance between them (CBB - TAB).

Previewing and Printing Program Log Transactions

You can preview and print the Program Log data using the options on the File menu. For complete details on using these options, see Previewing Data and Printing Data.
