The Gun Information and Accessory Information list are now customizable! Users are now able to decide what fields are relevant for their collection list. For example, if the gun year, caliber and country are not important to you, they can be hidden and the estimated value, safe and location can be added to the list. A detailed explanation follows.

Gun Information Buttons

Row selection has been changed to use a drop down button. Simply click the button and a list of available row counts will be displayed. Once a row count has been selected, it will become the new default count. Resetting this value to the system default will be covered below.

Gun Information Rows

The new Columns button is used to display/hide the desired columns. Any column that is currently being displayed will appear with a blue background, columns that are currently hidden are displayed with a white background. All columns can be hidden/shown expect for the edit and delete buttons . Any combination of previous and new columns can be created.

Gun Information Columns

The system will remember any changes made to the displayed columns and row count. To restore the values to the system defaults, use the Restore/Reload button at the upper right of the list.

Gun Information New Columns

Below is the list with all the new fields selected, notice the formatting of the value columns and the associated accessories list. Each item in the associated accessories list is sperated with a |. Clicking on the accessory description provides a direct link to that accessory.

Gun Information List

The list below has all the available fields selected. Notice that not all the fields can be displayed on the screen at the same time. The system does adjust the size of the columns automatically, but once there isn't enough room to display a column, it is moved to a list below the current row. This is done so that on smaller devices, like mobile phones, all fields are still accessible. Notice the red and blue buttons on the far left of the list. These buttons are an indicator that there is overflow information for that row. Once a blue button is clicked, you will see each overflow column displayed on a new line. In the example below, you will notice that all the new fields are being displayed. Clicking on the red button will close the display of the overflow columns. Using this technique, more information can be displayed, both on large and small screens.

Gun Information Responsive Display

NOTE: Long descriptions can cause fewer columns to be visible. For example, if you have a gun with a description of "Winchester 12G" and that is the longest description of the guns being displayed, then that is the maximum width used by the system for the description column. But, say you have another gun with a description of "Manufacture d'Armes de Saint-Étienne 36 (Granddad's favorite gun)", now that is going to be the maximum width of the description column.

The excessive description length can be caused by two primary factors. One is the description for a gun make, the other is the nickname assigned to the gun. To shorten a gun make description, go to the Gun Makes setup screen and enter a Short Description or uncheck the Include in Description checkbox. Adding a short description of "MAS" and changing the nickname will now display "MAS 36 (Granddad's #1)", a much shorter description.
