Specifying a display mode

Use the following procedure to specify the display mode for a column or field.

  1. Right-click the column’s header or the field and choose Format data from the pop-up menu.

  2. In the Format dialog, select a display mode by selecting the appropriate radio button:


    Radio button

    Description

    as is

    Displays data in the format indicated by its data type

    as graph

    (numeric data types only) Displays the data as a bar graph

    For this display mode, you can specify a Graph upper limit value. The upper limit determines the range of the bar graph for a field.

    Note

    This field also sets the upper limit for all gauge charts.

    as hex

    Displays the data in hexadecimal format

    Any data type can be displayed in hexadecimal; however, any field that has a default format of hexadecimal cannot be changed to another data format.

    After you make your selection, the data view in the field changes to the new view. You can select and clear the radio buttons to toggle between views to determine which view you prefer.

    Tip

    You might need to adjust the Width value to allow room in your view for bar graph data or hexadecimal data.

  3. When finished, click OK.The view is now customized. When you close the view, MainView Explorer prompts you to save your changes. If you decline, the customizations will not be retained.
