Lists
Lists (sometimes called “grids”) enable you to view several records from a particular file at the
same time. Many of these allow you to alter the order in which the data is presented. Light blue
column headings indicate that the list is ordered according to that heading label (Figure 1). Dark
blue column headings are candidates for reordering. Simply double-click on the dark blue column
heading. The list will now be ordered according to that label and the column heading will become
light blue. (Figure 2. Note blank last names. Presumably, these clients are known only by the
firm name.)

Character information is listed in alphabetical order. But character fields can contain numbers
th
(eg. 121 East 14 Street) and blank characters. As far as lists are concerned, you’ll see blanks
come before numbers, and numbers before letters ordered from the leftmost character to the
rightmost. If you’re looking at a list of clients, for example, and the list is ordered on firm name
and, further, if many of the attorneys listed aren’t really members of a firm, then you may have to
move down the list somewhat before you get past the blank firm names.

TACS employs two fundamental modes of operation, enter mode and change mode. You select
Enter mode by clicking “Add” and Change mode by clicking “Change.” No data can be entered
or modified until you click on one of these buttons. Once you do, in almost all cases, no other
system navigation is available (like selecting an item from the screen menu or moving among
records) until data being entered or revised is Saved.
In Enter mode, data is being entered into tables for the first time. When you click on Enter, the
system appends blank records to one or several tables.
