Navigating STAC 3
Accessing the Options Menu
In STAC 3, the options menu is now accessible by right clicking on the section of the screen.
Users will know if the screen has an options menu available because there will be ellipses shown at the end of the row, when the mouse is hovering over the row.
Adding a New Record Without Leaving the Screen
In some screens, like the Add Event, users may use the Save and add another button to add a record without closing the screen. This button will save the current information and clear the fields so a new record can be added.
Moving Screens and Collapsing Sections
Move Screens
Collapsible Sections
Move Screens
Users are able to move the Edit screens around the STAC screen or even dock the screen to the side so they can check information seen in the background of the case before saving their new record.
Users can dock, minimize, expand, and exit out of the add/edit screens with the options located at the top right corner of the screens.
Collapsible Sections
Users are able to collapse and expand any of the screen dividers to make the information on the screen easier to see. If the users want to see a little more, they do not have to collapse the entire section, but just move the bar to the position that helps view the important information.
Filtering Data
A lot of the data in STAC can be filtered by typing a partial value into the Search field, or by using the filter icon for more specific filters.
Filter by Value
Filter by Filter Icon
Group by Rows
Clear Filtered Records
Filter by Value
Users can simply type part of the value they are searching for, and any occurrence will be shown on the screen. The filter icons on all of the fields will also be highlighted blue to indicate to the user that the data being displayed is filtered.
Filter by Filter Icon
This new option allows users the ability to filter by many different combinations.
This filter also allows users to add a specific filter to a single column or multiple columns at the same time. The filter icons on all of the fields with a filter will be highlighted blue to indicate to the user that the data being displayed is filtered.
Users can clear a single filter by selecting the icon and choosing the clear filter button. If the user has multiple filters selected, they are able to clear all filters with the clear filter icon.
Group by Rows
Users can simply drag and drop a header from the grid to filter the information by that column. If users select multiple headers, the information will be filtered by all headers selected and users can simply drag and drop to change the order of the columns being filtered.
Clear Filtered Records
Users can select the icon on the top right of the grid to clear all of the filters in use; this also includes anything typed in the search filter.
Users can easily tell if they have a current filter on the grid, because the icon will only be highlighted if there is a current filter in use. If there are no filters, the icon will appear gray and will not be clickable.
Multiselecting Records
Users are able to select the checkbox in the beginning of each row to multi-select records on a grid. To make the checkboxes appear, the user must already have one record selected (highlighted blue), then hold the CTRL key and select the next record. While holding the CTRL key, the user can select anywhere on the record to select/de-select.
Users can also use the SHIFT key to select more than one record at a time.
If users have multiple records selected and the user selects a row that is not part of the selection, STAC will clear the multi-selected records and choose the new single record.
Users are able to go through records that are already selected to go through the case and view information without losing the cases that are already selected.
Profile
When users select the profile icon, they will have a few actions available that are specific to the person logged in. This is also where a user would go to manually logout of the application or change their password. Users will have a Preferences area where they can change the main menu to appear at the top, the screen's theme, the number of grid records per page, time format, and resolution.
Shortcuts to Add Dates
When editing a date or date-time field, users can use the following shortcuts:
- The equals key (=) to enter the current date and time
- The plus key (+) to increment the date by a day
- The minus key (-) to decrease the date by a day
Sorting Rows
Single Value
Multi Value
Single Value
Click on the column to be sorted. Clicking it again will reverse the sorting order.
Multi Value
Users also have the option to sort by more than one column. Click on the column header to sort it, then hold the CTRL key and click on another to sort by both columns. The number next to the arrow shows which column was sorted first, second, and so on. The grid can be sorted by as many columns as the user would like.
To remove one column from a multi-sort, hold the CTRL key and click on the column header that you want to remove until the arrow disappears. To remove all sorts, let go of the CTRL key and click on any column header.
