View services

It is recommended to view the list of services in one of several pre-configured ways to better view the information presented. In the top right corner of the list, there are several icons that when clicked, sort the data in different ways.

The icons in the top right corner than cn be clicked to present the information in different ways.

列表顯示

The default view of the services is the list view. This presents all the services in chronological order, from oldest to newest, in a list.

The information can be sorted by any column. At the top of each column, hover over the column name. An arrow appears to the right of the name. Click the arrow to sort the data by that specific column.

The default sorting is descending alphabetical order (A to Z). Click the arrow again to reverse the order, and go in reverse alphabetical order (Z to A). The one exception to this sorting is the default Date column, which sorts the information in chronological order (January to December) instead of alphabetical order.
