Description

Click the checkbox () to display the list of filter conditions as a hyperlink, which when clicked, lets the user change the conditions.

 Click the checkbox () to prompt for changes to the filter before the report is displayed.

Allows the developer to specify a Report Definition rule to use in displaying detailed information about rows included on the report when the user drills down on a summarized value or column.

 The filter conditions from this report and the user's drill-down selection will override those in the custom drill down report, and no parameter values will be passed to the custom drill down report.

The standard Drill Down Report is pyDefaultReport.

Field

Description

Select to present the list view results in segments — known as pages — each containing a fixed number of rows. Clear to present all rows (up to the Maximum Value count on the Content tab.) Paging is enabled by default.

As a good practice, enable this capability for worklists and for other lists that users need to scan only until they find a row of interest. However, for maximum user productivity, design the selection criteria and sorting in each list view rule to eliminate the need for user paging, or to present as few pages as possible when paging is unavoidable. See Pega Developer Network article PRKB-16205 How and when to enable paging of list view displays.
Paging causes the system to retrieve rows to only a segment at a time on request, improving response time and reducing the size of the clipboard.

At runtime, users may see the busy indicator () while waiting for a paging operation to complete.

Complete these fields when you select the Enable Paging checkbox.  

Enter a positive integer not greater than 200 to control how many rows appear at once as a report page. Values between 10 and 30 are typical; the default is 50 rows.

The system divides the responses into numbered pages based on the Page Size value. Select to control the presentation of pages:

• Numeric — Present the first group of N links as page 1, the second group as page 2, and so on, where N is the value of the Page Size field. Numbers 1, 2, ... appear as clickable links. (This is the default mode.)
• Next/Previous — Use navigation buttons to access the next page, or a previous page
• Drop-Down — Present all page numbers in a selection list control.

For example, if the Page Size value is 10 and the report contains 107 rows, the first page contains rows 1 to 10, and the last (11th) page contains the final 7 rows.

Choose Left, Center, or Right as the location of the page control on the list view display. The default is Right.

Select to indicate whether the page control is to appear at the top of the report display, at the bottom, or both.
