WiscIT - Working with lists

This document explains what lists in WiscIT are and how to view and manipulate them.

What is a List?

When an object workspace is opened in WiscIT, typically the workspace will open to a List of search results. A List is an interface of a table of objects in WiscIT where each individual record (e.g. an incident) is a row and the fields are representing as columns

Administrators configure Lists for objects by defining which fields should be represented as columns and which properties (e.g. sortable, initially hidden, etc.) each column has. The list shown in an object workspace or a relationship tab can differ depending on which role a user is logged into.

Working with lists

Opening a record

Double click a record to open its form view.

Multi-select

Use CTRL click to select multiple records at once. Quick actions can be run against multiple recods.

Sort

Left click a column to sort ascending. Left click again to sort descending.

Note: Sorting must be enabled on a column to be able to sort that column. This is a list level property. If sorting is not enabled on a column that should be, please submit a request to the WiscIT Team.

Add or Remove Columns

Mouse over any column to reveal the Filter Icon. Click the filter icon and use the Columns section to add or remove columns from the list.

Note: Not all fields for a given object are available on a list. Administrators configure lists with specific fields. To temporarily add a column that is not present in the list, construct a search with a clause that references the specific field; that field will appear automatically in the list that shows the search results. To add a field pemanenently, please submit a request to the WiscIT Team.

Filter

Mouse over a column to reveal the Filter Icon. Click the filter icon and use the Filters section to filter a column. If the field is validated, the available options will be available as checkboxes in this menu.

Group by Field

Mouse over a column to reveal the Filter Icon. Click the filter icon and use the Group by this field option to organize a list of search results by the selected field.

Note: Grouping must be enabled on a column to be able to sort that column. This is a list level property. If grouping is not enabled on a column that should be, please submit a request to the WiscIT Team.
