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 on the left of each field 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.


Setting the Field Order

Once you have selected the fields to be displayed, you can reorder the fields in the list view and if required create a formatting template specifically for this list view.

From the List View page click the Set Order button at the bottom.

The Data Column Order and Sorting window is displayed:

  • Use the Up and Down arrows to move the field.
  • Once complete, click the Save button.

To change the Sort order:

  • Choose the first field you wish to order by in the right field combo box.
  • Select Ascending or Descending in the Order combo box.
  • If required repeat this process for a second and third field.
