Hi Greg,
I took a quick look at the list page with the "Data Table from URL Definition" widget. I was unable to find where the default columns are defined.
However, you can specify a specific view to use when using the "Data Table from URL Definition" widget. From there, you have two options (both requires cloning and modifying an OOTB widget).
1. Update the "Data Table from URL Definition" widget to use a default view of your choosing. In the server script, replace the following line:
data.view = $sp.getParameter('view');
with
data.view = $sp.getParameter('view') || 'default';
I did put default (which will use the default view in the system) but you could use "ess" or something else. That way if no view is specified as a parameter, this view will be used instead of the view that I can't find where it is defined.
Then, update the list page with the page editor to replace the OOTB widget with the new cloned widget.
2. Update the "Simple List" widget to pass a default view when pressing on "View All". In the client script, add the view parameter to the see all function:
this.seeAll = function(){
$location.search({
id: c.options.list_page_dv || 'list',
table: c.options.table,
filter: c.options.filter,
view: c.options.u_view || 'default' //Setup an option for your custom Simple list if you want to be able to specify the view in the widget instance
});
};
Then, update your page that are using the Simple List with the page designer to replace the OOTB widget with the new cloned widget.
Personally, I have a preference for the second option which would allow you to setup a new option that will chose the selected view for each widget instance. To do so, simply create a new field with the column name "u_view" on the "sp_instance_vlist" table.
