Can a user dot walk while personalizing list view?

One user who does not have role can view fields from other tables as well in list view.

The other user is not able to dot walk. Is there a way he can dot walk while personalizing the list view?

Thanks

I wish people would understand the question first before answering textbook responses......

 

 

No this is not possible. Only via Configure > List Layout..

there is a (hidden) trick to do dot.walking in personal list views, there's even 2 ways of achieving this.

Can you elaborate, what are the hidden tricks to do dot.walking in personal list views?

the trick is to : 

1. go to Update Personalize List

2. pick any value from the available slush bucket and move it to the Selected area

3. now right click on the column you added in the Selected area

4. select Inspect from the pop-up menu

5. in the Elements area that pops up... the selected field is selected... now you can edit it's value and apply dot-walking to get the appropriate related attribute in your list

6. when done click OK on the Personalize List Columns window (left side of the screen)

7. you can now close the Elements area by clicking the X in the upper right corner

8. repeat steps to add additional columns (sys_id is often particularly useful)

This is beyond impressive
