Formatting Views In Printer's Plan Follow
Overview
The Jobs tab in Printer’s Plan has multiple views (All, In Progress, On Hold, Ready to Ship, etc.). Each view can show a unique set and order of columns so every department sees only the data that matters to them.
How It Works
Show / Hide Columns
Select a Jobs view (e.g., Orders > All) and click the Show button at the bottom of the window.
Figure 1 – The Show button displays a checklist of every available column for the current view.
- ✔ = column is visible
- ☐ = column is hidden
Un‑check columns you don’t need and click OK. The grid refreshes instantly.
Saving Column Order & Widths
Drag columns left or right to rearrange. To tell Printer’s Plan whether to remember those changes, click Columns next to the Show button.
Figure 2 – Column Widths / Column Orders options.
- Use default settings – always revert to built‑in layout.
- Remember widths only – keep your sizing, reset order.
- Remember width and order – preserve both.
Viewing Full Job Details
Even with columns hidden, the complete job record is one click away. Click the << arrows in the bottom‑right corner to open the information pane.
Figure 3 – The expanded Information screen shows every field—even those hidden from the grid.
Key Points
- Each Jobs view can have its own column layout.
- Show/Hide controls visibility; Columns controls whether changes persist.
- Layouts are workstation‑specific unless using shared RemoteApp.
- The information pane keeps all data accessible even when columns are hidden.
