List view table fields

Use a list view table field to display data in a standard table grid with column headings. You can have multiple list view table fields on one form.

To display data in a list view table field when a user opens a form, create a Change Field action that refreshes the field when the form is loaded. See Defining-Change-Field-active-link-actions.

AR System provides flexibility to the applications to manage the alignment of the column headers and data in the AR System table fields, irrespective of the data type. You can set column headers and data with the following alignment options:

  • Right (default for numeric field types)
  • Center (default for control field types)
  • Left (default for all other data types)

The table alignment flexibility is applicable to list view tables only.

Developer Studio also includes these properties to set the alignment of column headers and data:

  • Header Alignment
  • Data Alignment

In list view table fields, each column represents a field from the source form, and each row represents a request from that form. You specify which fields are displayed as columns. Almost any field can be a column except attachment fields and diary fields with a data length of more than 255 bytes. 

The columns themselves are also fields, and you can specify their properties. For more information, see Creating-table-fields.
