Procedure documentationCreating a List Complex Layout

 

You use this when you want to display data using a list.

A list complex component is for displaying or performing operations on multiple records of a single infotype. For more information on the relevant customizing to be performed in Design Time for Processes and Forms, see SAP Note 1043692Information published on SAP site.

A list consists of a number of columns. The component-defined view gives you the opportunity to specify:

  • The data that is displayed in each column

  • The display type (such as display field or input field) that is used in each column

  • The order of the columns

  • The number of columns and rows that can be displayed in the view at one time

In the General Settings panel, you can make changes to the list component as a whole. For example, for a list component, there are settings to determine the appearance of the complete list; you can determine the number of rows and columns to display, how many fixed columns there are, the total width of the list, and whether the list can be exported to a spreadsheet.

Restrictions

With this type of list configuration, the following restrictions apply:

  • Users cannot select multiple rows

  • When users add a new row, it is always inserted as the last row

  • Users can click Delete to delete single rows but cannot delete multiple rows at a time

You can configure a list to have the “delete row” column (label: Action). When a user selects this, the row is deleted.
