Procedure documentationCreating a List Layout

 

You use this when you want to display or perform operations on repeat fields of a single infotype record. You must include the fields for an infotype that has a type Line screen structure.

A list component is generic design template that consists of a number of columns. You can specify the following:

  • 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.

Adding Rows

Users can add one or more rows at a time to a list, provided that the row selected and the row after the selected row are not blank. When a user selects a row, clicking Add Row adds a row immediately below it. When a user selects multiple rows, clicking Add Row adds a row immediately below each of the selected rows. For example, in a list with four rows, the user selects the second and third rows, and clicks Add Row. This adds a new row after each of selected rows. The resulting list has six rows, where the third and fifth row are the new, blank rows.

Deleting Rows

Users can add delete one or more rows at time from a list. Users can select a single row or multiple rows, and click Delete Row to delete all selected rows.

Restrictions

You can configure a list to have the “delete row” column (label: Action). When a user selects this, the row is deleted. However, if you add this column to a list, it will not be possible for users to delete multiple columns.
