Default List columns

[lightblu]

Hi,

Is there a way to set the default list columns? I don't want every user to have to personalize their list columns, I want to change the default list columns for everyone.

For example, I want to set these list columns as the default for my table:

Thanks!

How does configuring a personal list make the default for all users? What happens when selecting the "Reset to column defaults" button? How do we set those default columns?

What role is required to be able to see the menu option when clicking the list header?  I create reports & dashboards quite a bit, but not an admin, therefore I only get a limited list of options, none of which are the ones required to action this default list options item.

You could try with the role "personalize_list". 

The condition that shows the Configure > List Layout menu item is this: 

gs.hasRightsTo('ui/configure.personalize_list/write', null) && (ListProperties.hasListMechanic() || ListProperties.getView() == 'sys_ref_list') 

There are some old and undocumented elements to that, so I can't confirm what each part does, but the personalize_list should allow you to do what you want.

Do you have the admin role? (or at least personalize_list role?)

Good question. I always forget to ask that!
