Configure columns displayed via a Service Catalog reference variable

[adrianps]

Hi all,

I've got a service catalog item that contains a variable for the user's location.  This variable is a Reference into the cmn_location table.  So far, so good.

When the user clicks on the browse icon, a list of available locations appears in a separate window.  Is there a way to control the columns that get displayed in this popup window?  So far the columns being displayed are: Name, City, State/Province and Country.  I'd like to add the Full Name column.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Adrian

You should be able to go to cmn_location_list.do and from there configure the list layout. Do this by right-clicking any of the column headers and selecting Configure > List Layout.

When you get to the list configure page, see if there is already a view defined in the drop down Called “Reference List”. If it is there select it and update your columns and save.

If not there, create the view by selecting New in the view dropdown. Name your new view “sys_ref_list” and click ok. Then you can use the slush bucket to choose your columns.

actually, an easier way to do this is to just click the magnifying glass for any reference field that points to the cmn_location table. when the popup shows up, right-click the column heading for any of the column headers and select Configure > Form Layout.

This will default you to the Reference List view automatically. then just select the columns you want using the slushbucket and save it. this will create the Reference List view for that table if it doesn't already exist.

These instructions assume you are using List V2. if using List V3, use the hamburger icon at the top left in the popup to configure list layout instead of clicking the column headers.

Thanks Jon, r-click on the popup columns does the trick.  I've learnt something new today!!!
