Information button
Sometimes you want to review the selections you have made during your analysis and what properties, streams, measures, filters etc are involved. You can see all your current selections and settings via the Information button near the search box. This opens a dialog displaying these.
Record count
Record count appears in the bottom right corner of the grid once a dimension has been selected. It displays the number of rows of data on all pages, regardless of how many rows are showing on the screen.
The count is affected by the period and any selections or filters that have been applied.
Switch to chart view
If you prefer to see your summary as a chart select the Chart icon, shown below. Your screen will automatically update to show a simple chart, typically a bar chart. The same information is presented, just in a different format.
Show all rows
By default Phocas restricts the number of rows shown on the grid, to allow faster viewing. If there are more than 100 rows, Phocas automatically adds more ‘pages’, which you access using the arrows in the footer (as shown below).
You can change this by selecting the Paginate 
icon, but it may take much longer for the screen to load.

Status bar
The status bar (sometimes called 'breadcrumbs' by users due to its appearance) displays the various selections and settings you have applied. It displays 'focused' selections, search criteria, matrixes and custom periods.
