Features of List View

List View
  • Compact Layout: List View displays records in a compact, list-like format, allowing users to see more records at a glance without the need for horizontal scrolling.
  • Customizable Fields: Users can customize the fields displayed in the List View by selecting or deselecting fields using the “Manage View Fields” option. This helps in focusing on the most relevant information.
  • Inline Editing: List View supports inline editing, which means users can quickly update fields without needing to open each record. Fields that are editable can be modified directly within the list.
  • Sorting and Filtering: Users can apply sorting and filtering criteria to the List View, similar to other view types in undb. This makes it easier to navigate and organize records based on specific needs.
  • Color Coding: Like other views, List View allows users to apply color coding to records based on conditions. This feature makes it easier to identify important records or status changes at a glance.
