Data Layout Options
Working with List (Simple)
The List (Simple) layout is the most basic display option for showing a list of objects.
It is the default Layout for all new Index Pages and displays objects in a simple bulleted list.
When used on an Object Page, a Simple List shows related objects, such as Associations or Diagrams the object appears on.
What do you want to do?
Use the List (Simple) layout on an Index Page:
You can use a Simple List in more than one way on an Index Page.
To use as the main element of the page or Tab to list the objects returned:
Ensure the Layout node beneath the parent node is set to Layout List (Simple). No other controls, layouts or behaviors are required.
To use inside an Accordion to list Associated Objects:
Ensure the Layout node beneath the Association node is set to Layout List (Simple).

Use the List (Simple) layout on an Object Page
The Simple List layout can only be used on an Object Page to show objects that are related to the object which is in focus.
You must therefore have an Association node in your Object Page before you can use it.
You can add an Association node at the top-level of the page - with an Object Page Layout, or inside a Tab, where the top-level node in the Tab is an Association node.
To use a Simple List to display your Associated Objects:
Ensure the Layout node immediately beneath the Association node is set to Layout List (Simple).
Display a title above your list
To display a title above your list, wherever you use it:
-
Select the Layout List (Simple) node you want to have a title
-
Enter the title you want to use in the Node Name field
-
Select the Display Title check box.
