5.Tap OK to effect the changes and return to the List View.

Note If a new field is chosen for Column 1, then after tapping the OK button, the record items will be sorted based on the new field. The sorting may take a few seconds. A Sorting... dialog box will appear for the duration of the sort.

Resizing columns

The default layout of a database in the Pylon Pro List View corresponds directly to the design of the Lotus Notes database View that it is based upon. The default layout defines how wide each column should be in relation to other columns. You can resize columns while working in Pylon Pro on a Palm device.

To resize columns in the List View of a database, tap and drag the column indicator control to the desired position.

Restoring column defaults

Restoring column defaults restores all column attributes to the default attributes assigned when the database was created.

To restore column defaults:

1.From the List View of a database, tap the Menu silk screen button.

2.Tap OptionsRestore Defaults.
