Record count
Record count appears in the bottom right corner of the grid once 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.
Show all rows
By default only 100 rows are shown on the grid, for faster viewing. More ‘pages’ are automatically added, accessed via the arrows in the footer (as shown above).
You can change this by selecting the Paginate 
icon and scroll to see more rows.
Sort
Once you have selected a dimension in Phocas you can sort columns. In the example below, the variance column has been sorted in ascending order, so that the products that have declined the most are at the top of the list.
You can sort in ascending or descending order, numerically and alphabetically. Phocas remembers your sort order even if you change from one dimension to another, until you reset, and when you save a favorite.

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.
