Element Description
Searching and Sorting

Include items from sub-projects—Select this check box to include subprojects of the selected project in the query. If one of your preferred projects is a parent project, but its subprojects are not in your preferred projects list, subprojects of the parent are searched if this check box is selected.

Enable dynamic column sorting—Select this check box to display column headers as links. Click to sort the data in ascending or descending order. The administrator determines if this option is available. If the listing report is part of a multi-view report, dynamic column sorting is not available.
