Re: Source Member Text

I like to create filters with only the source members that I need to work on. From the Remote Systems tree, I'll right click on that filter and click Show in Table. It's nice to create filters that can have members from different source files and libraries all together.

Yes, Matt showed me the Show Columns procedure.  And I don't know why the heading wasn't sorting, but it does now.  So my two quibbles are gone.  I'm forcing myself to use it all day today.  I have source files by project, and I'm using the object view to show the files, then drilling in to see the members, and using the big back arrow to get back to the file view.

It's a learning curve, but I'm doing it... :)

1. In the upper-right, click the down arrow -> Show Columns -> Customized. That should show your desired columns.
2. Head-click should sort by the column. I'd contact IBM support for that problem.

I'm trying to train myself to use the table view.  While in many ways it's just a re-factoring of the data, there are enough functional differences that make it more useful than the tree view in many scenarios.  However, I've got a couple of quibbles right now that are just annoying enough to make me close the table.

1. The preferences don't seem to work, specifically the column selection.  I got to Preferences > Remote Systems > IBM i > Table view and there are a bunch of preferences, including "Specify columns and column order" but unfortunately changing the columns on that dialog doesn't seem to change how the table is displayed.

2. The columns are not sortable.  I'd really like to be able to click on the various column headings to sort them as needed.

Again, I'm trying to work with it and there are enough benefits that I should be able to use it.  But those quibbles are still an issue.  Maybe enough that I'll put in an RFE when I get a chance.

I use the Object Table view for source rather than the Remote Systems view. It shows all the source member details. The Work With option has great filtering.

Just a suggestion,

Is there an option to have the source member text be displayed next to the member name in the Remote Systems view? I have my Work With Member selections for each of the various source types but it would be nice to see the Member Text to assist me to more quickly locate and identify the member I want to edit. Even the workspace tab nor the hover information does show the member text. I know the text isn't too important but to an old WRKMBRPDM user seeing the text does permit quicker identification of other source members for reference.

Thanks.
