The My Vendors grid is fully customizable. Create your preferred grid layout (filters, sorts, and columns) and quickly return to it, or clear everything back to default.
Searching Tip: VIVE Status Filters Out Inactive Vendors by Default
The VIVE Status column filter is automatically set to exclude Inactive vendors, so the grid only shows active/approved vendors unless you change it.
To view Inactive vendors:
- Click into the VIVE Status filter field (above the grid).
- Add Inactive to the filter selection.
- The grid will update to include Inactive vendors alongside whatever other statuses you have selected.
If you don't see a vendor you're expecting in your results, check this filter first, it's the most common reason a vendor appears to be "missing."
Searching the Grid: Two Types of Search
There are two different ways to search in the vendors grid, and they behave differently:
Universal Search (Search bar above the grid)
- The Search for anything... bar searches across all columns at once.
- This search is forgiving, it looks for a match anywhere in the data and doesn't require exact spelling, spacing, or punctuation.
- Best for a quick, broad search when you're not sure which column your term falls under, or you just want to cast a wide net.
Column Header Search (Filter fields under each column)
- Typing into the filter field under a specific column header (e.g., Vendor Legal Name, DBA) searches only that column.
- This search requires an exact match. If your entry is missing a space, period, comma, or otherwise doesn't match the data exactly as it's entered in the system, the result will not appear.
- Best when you know precisely which column and value you're looking for, and want to narrow results quickly.
Tip: If a column search isn't returning a vendor you expect to see, try the universal search bar instead—it's less likely to miss a result due to a small typo or formatting difference.
Customizing the Grid
Column Menu (Sort, Resize, Save/Load/Reset)
Click the three dots (⋮) in any column header to open that column's menu. From here you can:
- Sort Ascending — sort the grid by this column, low to high (or A–Z).
- Sort Descending — sort the grid by this column, high to low (or Z–A).
- Clear Sort — remove sorting on this column.
- Autosize This Column — resize just this column to fit its content.
- Autosize All Columns — resize every column in the grid to fit its content.
- Reset Columns — return column order, visibility, and width to system default.
- Save Grid — save your current layout (see Save Your Current Grid below).
- Load Grid — reapply your last saved layout.
- Reset Grid — clear filters, sorts, and column changes back to system default.
Show or Hide Columns
Click Columns on the right-hand side of the grid to open the column picker. From here:
- Check a box to add that column to the grid.
- Uncheck a box to remove that column from the grid.
- Use the Search field at the top to quickly find a specific column by name.
Any changes you make here are part of your grid layout, so remember to Save Grid if you want them to stick around the next time you load the page.
Export Grid Data
Click Export on the right-hand side of the grid to open the export panel. You have two options:
- Export filtered data — exports only the rows currently shown based on your active filters.
- Export all data — exports every row in the grid, ignoring any filters you've applied.
Save Your Current Grid
- In the grid header, on any column header, click the three dots (⋮).
- Click Save Grid. Your current layout is now the default when you load the grid.
- Please note: Your filters will not be saved. Any filters will need to be re-added to the grid.
Reset the Grid (Return to Default)
- Open a column menu.
- Click Reset Grid (clears filters, sorts, and column changes back to system default).
