Actions
To improve the user experience, the Actions in the redesign will function as per the current version but will feature clear icons depicting report style, edit and export options. If hovered over, the icon will provide a description of the action.Filters
Filtering is a key part of SBS Online, and at present simply typing a keyword and pressing return provides a wealth of data in its results. One benefit of the redesign is that information will appear instantly as the user enters their keywords, without needing to press enter. Furthermore, the top bar will show the user the number of Filters that are applied for the results.Hidden
One feature of the redesign will be the ability for users to hide columns to have a clearer view of their report. When users left-click on the column header they will see two options - to Sort by that column or to Hide that column. This will remove that column from the report and it will now be found in the Hidden tab. To unhide that column, the cross will remove it from the Hidden tab and put it swiftly back into the report. As with the current software, this will be user specific for personal preference.![SBS Online Search](https://www.schoolbusinessservices.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/actions-filters-hidden.png)
