While it is normally sufficient to customize the case information displays that come with the program, it is sometimes convenient to create different sets of columns, filtering, sorting, etc... for the same object type. One set of generator fields may be convenient for studying voltage regulation problems, while another set of generator fields may be convenient for looking at MW-related information. This ability is provided using the User-Defined Case Information Displays. This provides the ability to switch between different sets of columns, filters, sorting etc... without requiring repeated customizations.
Note: User-Defined Case Information Displays will not show any of the various Record-Specific Actions which often appear in the Case Information Toolbar Records Menu. To access these special options, the normal case information display must be used instead.
