Main Views — Listings, Listing Templates & Sales

← All WonderLister user guides

These settings govern the three main grids together: Listings,
Listing Templates and Sales. They decide how the
toolbar is drawn, how a row is selected, how tall the rows are, and what happens to an ended listing.

Where to find it

The first section of the Customize Views dialog, and the
Main Views section of Preferences. They are the same
settings.

The Main Views settings

Each row is one setting: its name, what it does, and its switch.

The settings

Setting What it does
Allow display of column names on multiple rows Column headings are normally kept to a single line. Turn this on and a long heading wraps onto
several, which makes narrow columns readable at the cost of a taller header.
Show Toolbar as Group of Buttons Switches the toolbar between its two layouts: icons by default, or named buttons grouped by what
they are for. See the icon toolbar and
the labelled-button toolbar — every action exists in
both, only its position changes.
Always show Simple Search Keeps the single-field search bar at the top of the page instead of hiding it behind the magnifier.
Worth turning on if you search constantly. With it on, the toolbar drops its Simple Search
icon, because the bar is already there.
Select item on CTRL+Click Normally clicking anywhere on a row selects it. Turn this on and a plain click no longer selects —
you either hold CTRL while clicking, or click the checkbox in the first column. Use it
if you keep changing your selection by accident.
Disable Simple Editor The Simple Editor is the cut-down editor that opens in a dialog when you select a row and press
F2. This turns it off entirely.
Show Thumbnails in size 25, 50, 100, 150 or 200 pixels; 50 is the default. The thumbnail size also sets the row height, so a
bigger picture means fewer rows on screen — that is the trade.
Automatically archive all listings having same criterion None, SKU, Title, or Title & SKU. See below.
Disable Simple Editor is the same switch as in Preferences. It appears both here and in the
Editor section of Preferences, and it is one setting — turning
it on in either place turns it on in both.

Automatic archiving

Archiving takes an ended listing out of most views and searches without deleting it. You can archive by hand,
or have WonderLister do it for you when a listing ends.

Option What happens when a listing ends
None Nothing. Archive by hand. This is the default.
SKU Every previously ended listing with the same SKU is archived.
Title Every previously ended listing with the same title is archived.
Title & SKU Both must match before a listing is archived.

So if you choose SKU and a listing with SKU A ends, every earlier ended listing
with SKU A is archived. The rule only ever applies to listings that have already ended —
nothing live is touched.

FAQ

Q: My toolbar looks nothing like the one in the guide.
A: Check Show Toolbar as Group of Buttons. There are two layouts and
both are documented — icons and
labelled buttons.
Q: The search bar has disappeared from my toolbar.
A: If Always show Simple Search is on, the bar is permanently at the
top of the page and the toolbar icon that used to summon it is no longer drawn.
Q: Clicking a row no longer selects it.
A: Select item on CTRL+Click is on. Hold CTRL while
clicking, or use the checkbox in the first column.
Q: I can only see a few rows at a time.
A: Lower Show Thumbnails in size. Row height follows the thumbnail,
so 25 or 50 fits far more on screen than 200.
Q: Where did my ended listings go?
A: If an archiving option is set, they are archived rather than deleted, and most
views and searches leave archived listings out. Set the option back to None if you would
rather archive by hand.
Q: Does archiving remove anything from eBay?
A: No. It only affects what WonderLister shows you, and only applies to listings that
have already ended.
