Workspace and Views

[MichaelZischeck]

Interesting thing:

On the old platform you can use a view to display different fields in a form and/or list

Until now I believed: on workspace: you only have the workspace view (as defined in the page properties sys_ux_page_property)

Now I figured: you can display views using different views in the sys_ux_list.

Unfortunately the defined view in sys_ux_list is not honored when opening the record.

BUT (this is what I finally figured out), it IS possible to add /params/views/viewname to honor a view (ie. show different fields etc.)

I have, more than, one use case where i'd like to give a user the "choice" to switch a view. 

I know I could achiev this somehow by adding to the URL /params/views/viewname.

but wouldn't it be nice, if the view given to the  sys_ux_list would be honored?

how do you guys deal with such issues? do you have solutions?

best regards

actually... you can create an action which adds /params/views/viewname to the URL like:

top.window.location = top.window.location + '/params/views/viewname';

this will change the view of the record "on demand"  (no view rule required). It indeed "overrides" the view rule even

Workspace view rules have been mentioned already which are much more flexible than core UI view rules.

Users can switch views, but it'll depend on your platform version and whether you're using the newer single record page
