To view records in this module, click <View> on the Menu Bar, then <Make Layaway Payments> from the drop down menu as depicted in the sample screen shown below.

As can be seen in the sample screen above, the following columns of data are displayed when the Make Layaway Payments
module is first selected.

·Rec   The physical record number.  
·Del   Record deleted indicator (an X means deleted).  
·Name   The purchaser's name.  
·Phone   The purchaser's phone number.  
·Date Sold   The date the items were sold.  
·Invoice   The invoice number (from Point of Sale).  
·Qty   The number of items purchased.  

noteOther fields can be viewed by using the horizontal scroll bar.  
 
Other records can be viewed by using the vertical scroll bar or the VCR Buttons at the bottom of the form.  
 
The Edit function must be invoked to see the contents of all other fields.  

By default, records are viewed in order by Customer Name when the view is first opened. There is a status field to the right of the <View by> button which indicates the current viewing order. The viewing order can be changed by:

·Clicking <Edit> on the Menu Bar, then clicking <View Records by>, or  
·Clicking on the <View> button in the lower left hand corner of the form, or  
·Pressing <CTRL><W> (the "short-cut" key sequence).  

Doing any of the above displays a speed menu (shown in the sample screen below) from which a different viewing order can be selected (a check mark is displayed in front of the current order).

la_viewby  

Select a viewing order by:

·Clicking the desired order with the mouse, or  
·Using the <UP-ARROW> and <DOWN-ARROW> keys to hi-light the desired order, then press <ENTER>, or  
·Pressing the underlined letter of the desired order  

Doing any of the above re-arranges the records in the grid according to the selected order.

noteThe program attempts to keep the currently hi-lighted record in the grid at its current position, but this is not always possible.
