Set Up Attributes and Options for the View

You can set up your list views in the following ways:

• Add attributes to display additional fields in the list. For example, configure the projects list view to include a Change Request field to display any associated change requests for any of the projects. You can also add virtual attributes (for example, progress bars, or Gantt charts) to display aggregations, comparisons, and variances.
• Define options for your lists such as how to display secondary values, filter results, and protect or display certain attributes. For example, if you have two fields named Cost and Baseline Cost, you can display both values in a cell. Select Baseline Cost as the secondary value. The Cost value displays as usual. When you move the cursor over a cell in the grid, the Baseline Cost also displays.

Follow these steps:

1. Open Administration, and from Studio, click Objects.
2. Click the name of the object.
3. Click Views.
4. In the Category column, locate the desired List view and click the [Layout] link from the Setup column in that row.

   The list column layout page appears.

5. In the Available Columns list, select the attributes that you want to add and move them to the Selected Columns list.
6. Click Save and Return.

   The views list page appears.

7. In the Category column, locate the desired List view and click the [Options] link from the Setup column in that row.
8. Complete the requested information. The following fields require explanation:

   Secondary Value Display

   Indicates the way that secondary values display in a grid cell.

   Values:

   • Mouseover only. Displays no secondary value.
   • Mouseover and redline text. Displays a secondary, comparison value when you place the cursor over a cell in a grid.
   • Show Null Secondary Values. Displays the secondary value even when there is no number value to show.

   Allow Configuration

   Specifies whether users can change the appearance of the page.

   Allow Label Configuration

   Specifies whether users can change the page label. If you select the Allow Configuration option and clear the Allow Label Configuration option, users cannot configure labels but they can configure other items.

   Attribute Value Protection

   Indicates whether an attribute is protected or displayed. You can protect attributes from appearing using display conditions, secured subpages, or both.
