This component supports various display and interaction options, enabling users to view, filter, edit, and organize records based on their needs. The properties detailed here help tailor the component's behavior, appearance, and performance to fit specific use cases. Show full answer Show less ## Data Configuration * **All Records vs. Top Records:** Choose to display a full list with editing and bulk actions or a prioritized read-only list with a "view all" link. * **Table and Queries:** Select the table data to display and apply fixed query filters or editable default filters for refining results. * **Columns and Views:** Define which columns to show or use preconfigured UI views, with column selection taking precedence. * **Nesting and Grouping:** Set a column for hierarchical display or group records by a default column, with user override options. * **Empty State:** Optionally hide the component when no records are available. ## Header Customization * Control visibility of the header, title, subtitle, record count badge, search bar (for indexed tables), filters, action buttons, and column selection features. * Define custom titles or use default table names and include additional actions via action configuration records. ## Columns and Rows Behavior * Enable or disable clickable links in the first and reference columns to open detailed or related records. * Configure column value highlighting with selectable highlight configurations. * Allow or restrict quick edit capabilities on rows for users with appropriate permissions. ## Cell Display and Editing * Control text wrapping inside cells to manage overflow and truncation. * Set maximum characters shown per cell before truncation occurs. * Enable or disable inline cell editing directly within the list. ## Footer and Performance Settings * Allow users to choose records per page and set the visible range of page numbers for navigation. * Limit the total number of records fetched to enhance performance, with the option to fetch all records by leaving the limit empty. * Choose whether to display error messages to end users if the component fails to load initially. ## Practical Application for ServiceNow Customers These properties empower you to embed a highly customizable, user-friendly object list on external websites while maintaining control over data presentation, user interaction, and system performance. By configuring these settings, you can optimize the user experience, ensure relevant data visibility, and streamline workflows directly from third-party portals.
