How is the "List Search" (magnifying glass) preference remembered?

[krempe]

If you access a list view such as Contract Management -> Maintenance a list is rendered. If you toggle the List Search icon (use magnifying glass next to gear) the search fields under the columns will be displayed, the system "remembers" the setting i.e. on or off if you leave and come back to the list.     Much like the User Preference settings tabbed.forms   and rowcount (from Show option) preferences are "remembered".     I cant find a User Preference or system property that controls this setting for toggling the List Search.   We recently upgraded from Eureka patch 1 to Eureka Patch 10 and have lost this functionality in several list modules we created in-house. Specifically a new table. The functionality continues to work for the out of the box Contract Management -> Maintenance/Leases/etc at the table level i.e. any list from ast_conracts, so I suspect it may be a table level control.     It does not appear to be set in List Controls.   Does anyone have any advice or direction?

thanks, Ken

It looks like it's stored in a user preference: glide.ui.list_header_search.open.

Hi Mike and David, glide.ui.list_header_search.open does seem to record the current state of the List Search icon (magnifying glass) and does not appear to be table specific i.e. if it is set to true, the search fields are there regardless of table/list you open.   But it only seems to work for only some of out-of-the-box tables.   We have custom tables (List Modules) that the search fields are not visible (not "on") unless you toggle the ICON from "off" to "on".   For the custom tables (and some OotB), toggling the ICON from "off" to "on" does affect the user preference: glide.ui.list_header_search.open, setting the preference to true or blank, but the custom tables seem to ignore the preference when you leave the list and return.   (unlike the out-of-the-box tables)

thank for the feedback thus far, but I will keep looking.       Ken

Hi Krempe we are also looking for the same option. Please help us in this if any one knows.
