Columns

The columns in the TARGET table reflect the data that is entered in the TARGET INFO and RESEARCH Tabs. The columns can be resized and reordered, and you can also specify which fields you do and don't want to see so that you can see only the info you want to see.


 

Sorting

You can sort the tracks in the TARGETS module by clicking on the column you would like to sort by. Clicking toggles between ascending and descending order.
