Defining a List View

There are two types of List Views: System Views and Personal Views.

  • System Views belong to a specific role. All users in that role will have the option to select this List View. Multiple System Views can be defined for each role.
  • Personal Views are only visible to the user who creates them. Multiple Personal Views can be defined for each user.

System Views

  • When you click on the "New System View" button, you will be prompted to select the role to which the System View pertains. Select the appropriate role and click "OK."
  • You will now see three tabs in the right-hand frame: Properties, Columns and Export.

Properties

  • By default, the "View Name" will match the role that you have selected. The name of the list view can be edited.
  • Select a display order. This will define which list view will be the default for users who possess multiple roles.
  • The default value for the "Open Button Label" is "Open." Changing this value will change the caption on the button used to access a specific record in the list view.
  • Checking the "Open in edit mode" option will mean that when records are opened, they will default to edit mode as opposed to view mode.
