When working with long lists of submissions, Editors can sort and arrange the contents to display most efficiently for their needs.
To define the number of list items to display per page, use the drop-down menu (at the top or bottom right of the grid). The EM system remembers the indicated number, and this becomes the default display each time the user logs in.
This option applies to all Editor pages that list submissions, all Reviewer Selection pages, and Search Submissions.
To sort a list, select a column and use the arrows under the column header to order the items by the data in the column (Article Type, Current Status, etc.). The up arrow sorts items in ascending order, and the down arrow in descending order. The EM system remembers a user's most recent sort criteria; the next time the user accesses the page the default sort is the most recent one.
Note: When a user sorts with the arrows, that column becomes the primary sort. The system automatically selects Manuscript Number as the secondary sort. If the primary sort is Manuscript Number, then the secondary sort is automatically Date Submitted.
Some page grids allow the user to select both primary and secondary sort columns.
To sort a list, select a column as the primary sort and use the arrows under the column header to order the items by the data in the column. Then select a column as the secondary sort and hold the CTRL key (COMMAND key on a Mac) while clicking the arrow.
After sorting, a 1 in the arrow icon indicates the primary sort column. A 2 in the arrow icon indicates the secondary sort column.
