1.5.4Tables and Filtering
Tables are used to display multiple attribute data that cannot be directly edited. The table can be navigated by the cursor keys (left and right being home and end) as well as the overload keys 3 Page Down and 9 Page Up.
Two main types of tabular data found in the GS20 are selectable and informative.
•Selectable fields allow the user to make a selection such as choosing a Job or Codelist, and are usually identified by a radio button (selectable circle). Additional options, such as New, Delete, etc. usually exist in the context menu.

•Informative fields allow the user to view and manipulate information about the tabled object.
1.5.5Filtering
In order to provide power and flexibility to the user, the Leica Geosystems GS20 maintains separate filters for individual tables and maps.
1.5.5.1 Map Filters
Map filters provide the user with the ability to hide or display data in the map.
Map filters allow the user to discriminate data based on
•Feature Code (Layer name)
•Feature Name (Feature ID)
•Feature Type (Point, Line, or Area)
•Time of collection
•Waypoint Status (Flag as Waypoint (i.e. to be navigated to)
or Visited)
Similarly data can be filtered in a table for selection, edits, clipboard function or changing the Waypoint status.
