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]]

the '''Settings''' page allows you to define

the list view for Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3

as well as the Accounts and/or Contacts

sections on the Level 1 records (if the

Contacts/Accounts Standard Fields have been

enabled).
::* ''The '''List View''' defined for Level 2

will apply both to the list view on the Level 2

tab, and the list of associated Level 2s at the

bottom of a Level 1 record, if shown. Similarly

the Level 3 list view applies to the Level 3s

listed at the bottom of a Level 2 record.''
::* If '''Display as Tab''' has been enabled

for a Level 2 [[Type]] you can customize the

'''List View''' for the items listed on that

tab.
::* If you use the same Tab Label for more than

one Level 2 [[Type]] (thus grouping multiple

Types onto the same Tab) it will also use the

'''List View''' configured on the Settings

page, the same List View as the '''Other Level

2 Types''' tab.
* Within most other [[Applications]] you can

set the '''List View''' via the '''Settings'''

page.
::''Some list views contain special items and

cannot be configured, such as the list of

Applicants on an Opportunity within [[Sales

Tracking]].''
* When viewing the list of '''Contacts''' you

can set the '''List View''' by clicking on the

'''Edit View''' tab:<br>
::[[Image:ListViewC.PNG]]
:'''Note:''' changes here will affect the

Contacts List View throughout [[SmartSimple]]

(UTA Contacts Tab, Search People, Sales

Tracking, etc.)
* The '''Accounts''' list view is fixed and

cannot be customized.


==Defining a List View==
Click into any '''List View''' shortcut to

display the list of fields available:

[[Image:Uta67.png]]

* ''Standard Fields'' are listed at the top of

the list, followed by [[Custom Field]]s.
* 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|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:

To change the '''Display''' order:
* Click on the required field in the left

panel.
* 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.


==Defining a List View Template==

You can customize the list view by clicking on

the '''Template''' button at the bottom of the

'''List View''' page.
Note: a basic understanding of HTML may be

required to make changes to the List View

Templates.

* The '''Header''' section can be used to

adjust the column headings. You can change the

formatting, as well as the column heading

displayed.
* The '''Columns''' section controls the

display of the actual record list view.
* The '''Order Clause''' allows you to manage

the sequence of records in a more complex way

than on the '''Set Order''' page.
::''For example, if you are trying to arrange

your sort order based on a field that has an

integer value the sort may not work properly if

the data is stored as string. To make this a

numeric value to sort do the following:
:::* In the list view template go to the

section of 'Order Clause' and find the field

that your looking for based on custom field id.
:::* Change the value from ''cf_967517 desc''

to ''tbl_967517.valuestr*1 desc''; which

converts it to a numeric value now.
