Navigation filter allows users to find the Menu Categories or Category Items they want quickly.

To apply the filter, type the words or word fragments in the text field, and then press Enter.

The Navigation menu with the applied filter displays the Categories and Category Items which names match the condition.

Global Search


Global Search allows users to find the information they need by the indexed fields of the Category Items lists. 

To search the information, fill in the Search field with the desired word or word fragment, then click the search icon or press Enter.

All search results are displayed below the search field in the What's on the page panel on the left.


List search boxes


Search boxes appear above a table in the list view. To display them, click the magnifier button  at the right corner on the top of the list.

You can find the record you need by typing some characters, a word or several words. The search returns records that contain the specified input.

Grouping on lists


Grouping on lists allows sorting all records basing on the defined column of any type. As the result, the list of records is divided into sublists. That is, records with the same value form a group with the corresponding heading. The function provides information on number of records included.

To configure grouping, click on the column title on the basis of which you need to group the records, then choose Group: {column name}.

For example, we need to group columns from the Columns (sys_db_column) table by the Column Type field. After configuring the grouping, the list will look like this:

In the list view, the following options to operate the groups are available:

  • Expand and collapse any group. Click on the group you want to expand or collapse.
  • Expand and collapse all groups. Open a context menu by clicking on one of the column titles or right-click any line in the list, and choose the corresponding option in the context menu.
  • Sort in ascending or descending order by the name of the field or the number of records in it. Open a context menu by clicking on one of the column titles or right-click any line in the list, and choose the corresponding option.
  • Change the base column of grouping. To regroup records basing on another column, click on the column title you need and choose Regroup: {column name} in the context menu.
  • Open a group in a distinct list view. Point to the group you want to open and choose Open a group in the list.


Condition Builder

You can also delete them by clicking the Clear All button.
