A List View displays a list of records. You can get to a List View by clicking any object in your application Workspace.

About the List View

The List or grid is the most common kind of multiple-record view, but there are other kinds of views as well. For example: Tree, Thumbnail, and Calendar displays. (Learn more: Views.)

In a List View, records are displayed in a grid, like a spreadsheet. At the top of the view, under the action buttons, a view control bar gives you many ways to control your view of the data:

Sorting a List View

List Views can be sorted by clicking on a column heading. You can then choose between an Ascending and Descending sort.

Viewing and Editing Records

List Views for Objects contain these icons:

FolderIcon.png (folder icon) View the record shown in this row
PencilIcon.png (pencil icon) Edit the record shown in this row

Inline Editing

Inline Editing of Rows in a List View

Customizing a List View

You can choose the columns that are displayed in the list, and the order in which they appear. You can make different views that are available to users in different roles.
