    Is there a way to change the order of fields in a notification after the infoset creates the fields in a certain order without changing the query ?

    Thanks in advance.

      Yes, in options Step 4 of Notification build, you do something like colopt 1=2 that will change the order of column 1 & 2

        Select your Multi-Fact in Step 1
        Click Select
        Look at the order of the columns be for you Add
        Transcribe them in the order they appear

        EXAMPLE:
        Company Acct Unit Account

        Company = 1
        Acct Unit = 2
        Account = 3

        on step 4 of your notification click Options link
        In the dialog box you can specify the order of your columns

        EXAMPLE
        colopt1=2&colopt2=no&colopt3=1
        Account is the 1st column
        Company is the 2nd column
        Acct Unit is not shown

        There is more extensive examples and documentation on the API in the SN guide.

          Alot of what you will do in there will be examples like the following

          colopt1=No Column will not display
          Colopt4=1 Column 4 will display first

              Just keep in mind, there ONLY place that you can see the true index of the columns is after you select your multi-fact. The Index in the InfoSet editor or the iundex of the query language is not always correct as SN reorders based on your Key, Attribute and Measure settings.

                Where can you see the true order of index of the fields? I am basing mine on the index of the query tool.

                  The reason I am asking this question is in my result set I have employee number, then a number of fields and then the last name, first name and middle init. The users want the last name, the first name and middle init to be right next to the employee number.

                  I ordered the lastname like &colopt11=2 and this works but when I use the first name to be &colopt12=3 it is not taking it till I put it in this order &colopt11=2&colopt12=2&colopt13=2(middle init).

                  Thanks in advance.

                    Did you see my reply at 01:45 PM? I think that addresses your follow up question right?

                      I read the post at 12:45 PM. Is there anyway to look at what the true index of the fields are ?

                        Right, so there is only 1 place you can see the actual index for this and that is on Step 1 of the Notification creation process after you select your Items (Keys and Attributes) and Measures. The order from right to left is the index you need to use.

                          Thanks. This helps in designing the notification.
