List of Documents 
Definition
Web item that displays a list of documents in the Web
application. You can also 
create new
documents yourself in the Web application.
Use
The Web item List of Documents enables you to call or create context-sensitive information about the transaction data used in the Web application. If you navigate in the Web application and, for example, restrict a characteristic to a certain characteristic value, the list of documents is automatically adjusted. This means that only the documents that are relevant for the restricted navigation status appear.
The documents for the characteristics that were set as the Document Properties in the Administrator Workbench appear automatically in the list.
Structure
The
Web item 
List of Documents has the following
structure:
· Functions
You can also:
- Set whether or not the characteristics of the documents are to be displayed
- Define whether the selection for the documents is to be displayed. If the selection is displayed, you can also change it so that you can look for documents in other areas. In order to be able to change the selection, the attribute Display Selection (see below) must be set accordingly.
· Selection
The selection is the counterpart to the navigation block and shows the characteristics that are Document Properties and are contained in the basic data provider (query or query view), and their values.
If you have already inserted a navigation block into your Web template, you do not need the selection information in the list of documents if you want to see only those documents that refer to the numbers of the table.
The selection is adjusted dynamically depending on the navigation in the Web application. This means that the list of documents displays only those documents that refer to the requested data in the table. If the selection can be changed, you can also focus on the documents and, for example, display all the documents that refer to the InfoProvider.
You can set the following in the Web Application Designer using attributes:
¡ Whether you want to display the selection
¡ Whether or you can change the selection in the Web application
· List of documents
The links to the documents are listed here in alphabetical order.
In addition to its general attributes, the List of Documents Web item has the following attributes:

Description |
Display Properties (SHOW_PROPERTIES) ‘X’ = Yes, ‘ ’ = No |
This attribute indicates if the document property is to be displayed. The document properties tell you about how the documents are assigned, for example base planning object 4711, month of May. The selection to which the document was restricted determines the assignment.
If a document property is identical for all selected documents, this property is not displayed under the document link. You define the initial display with the Document Properties attribute. Using the Properties on/off button, you can toggle the display of the properties in the Web application.
Furthermore, in the PROPERTY_LIST attribute you can set which additional document properties need to be displayed here.
