Moving Sheet Summary Fields

Paul Newcome

Currently to rearrange the fields in the sheet summary you have to open the field properties and then move it up or down one at a time.

If you have a good handful of fields and then realize that the three or four at the bottom should actually be at the top... That gets to be rather tedious.

Would would be great is if we could click and drag the fields to rearrange them similar to rearranging the fields when creating a form.

Grabbing multiple fields and moving them using the click/drag method would be even better! (same goes for on forms).

I have already submitted a Product Enhancement Request for being able to click/drag a single field, but I think I may also Submit a Product Enhancement Request or two for being able to click drag multiple fields instead of my original click/drag a single field, and for doing the same (multiple fields at the same time) when building a form.

Just figured I would put it out there to see what other people think about it (link provided if anyone else wants to submit and enhancement request).

Agreed 100%. I added some new sheet summary fields after the initial layout and my OCD is driving me crazy not having it in a proper, logical order.

Another option would be allow us to assign a number/letter (weight) to where the summary field appears and allow us to sort A-Z or Z-A but agree click and drag is best. Preferably - multiple at the same time but I would welcome any improvements

Is there an estimated completion date?

A Rose

YES!

Even a sort by option would also help, like sort by date created or by name, or by date entered.

Jumping in here to add to the request as well. This would be an amazing feature to add! Drag and drop, sort, something outside of moving one at a time.

Just seeing this thread after spending 2 hours reordering my summary fields as we continue to make improvements. This would be a great feature to add and I'll go vote for it. For now, I think I can train my 3-year-old to do this for me as needed (yes, that is a bit of snark)

I can't believe this hasn't been addressed yet. I've got probably 2 dozen summary fields I need to rearrange and it is way more painful than it needs to be. Is there a link where we can upvote this or just create a new enhancement request?

Adam Hayter

Another vote for this to happen please - and my thoughts to those that have been dealing with it for years...

Here's a link to the Idea in the new format.
