List View Overview
The List View allows you to define which Standard and Custom Fields are displayed when viewing a list of records. You can also define the sequence in which the records are displayed.
- Within the Universal Tracking Application you can define the list view for Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 as well as the Level 1 Accounts and/or Contacts sections on the Settings page.
- Within most other Applications you can set the List View via the Settings page.
- When viewing the list of Contacts you can set the List View by clicking on the Edit View tab:
Defining a List View
Click into any List View shortcut to display the list of fields available:
- Standard Fields are listed at the top of the list, followed by Custom Fields.
- The # field displayed at the top of the list will display a record counter (index) for the items displayed.
- Click the check box to the left of each field name to include that field in the List View.
- Click the Hyperlink button to designate a single field that will provide a drill-down to the associated record.
- Text Align defines if the data should be left, centred or right aligned in the column.
- For numeric fields, you can display a total at the bottom of each page by clicking the Show Total check box.
- The Total displayed at the bottom of the column will have the same formatting (example: #.##) as specified in the Custom Field that is being totalled. If no formatting is specified, the total will be displayed to 1 decimal place.
Once you have saved the field list you can set the Display order.
Note: anytime you make changes to the List View page as described above the field order settings (described below) will be reset and will need to be re-defined.
