Hiding the reference icon on a list

[jamie_girouard]

I want to hide the reference icon on a specific set of lists that I've created.   I don't want users to be able to click through or hover over the see the full view of the record I've created, just the fields in the list.   I know I could probably create separate ess views for each record type to handle this scenario, but I'm trying to have to avoid managing lots of different views when the only thing I want to present to my ess users is a list with a small number of fields for them to view.

Apparently there's no way to run a client script on a list field.   If that's the case, then do I have any options to be able to hide the reference icon on a list so users can't hover over for click through to the record itself?

If i have understood the issue correctly:-

I think disabling List Edit for those particular lists will serve your purpose. If list edit is not there, the users will not be able to edit cells and there will be no Reference Icon.

Subhajit,

Thanks.   Unfortunately, that didn't do the trick either.   Disabling list editing just means that I can't update the cells, but the reference icon is still there.

I have not heard of a way to totally remove the ref icon from the list view. I am still looking into it though. Have you considered providing the list as a type of report or gauge instead? Not sure if there is a way to display tabular data but have it not be an actual list view of a table. I know you can do this with a UI page and some jelly scripting, for example.

Actually, you could use GlideDialogWindow to do this in a ui page. See Creating UI Page to display table list like a list layout

Ben,

That will absolutely work for my purposes.   Should've thought of that earlier, to be honest, but I was stuck on the idea that I could remove the reference icon from a list.

Thanks for everyone's help!
