Configure list selectors
Each customized tab in the detail pages is based on a search or filter which populates the customized tab with the results of the search. You can use the standard values of the searches or you can define your own search criteria in order to display search results more relevant for your requirements.
The search criteria consist of a number of search fields (Simple and Advanced) displayed in a list selector. You can adjust these search fields, adding new ones, removing search fields you do not need as well as re-arranging the fields in the list selector itself to better fit your work process.
If you customize the list selector, the changes are saved in the your configuration and can either be distributed to others (if you have sufficient rights to do so) or applied to your own configuration only.
You can configure list selectors used in the Case, Document and Contact detail pages for the following detail tab pages:
- Parties
- Case references
- Document references
- Child cases
- Parent cases
The following search fields can be added to list selectors:
Cases | Documents | Contacts |
---|---|---|
|

Rearranging the displayed search fields in the list selector
The left pane of the Add...references form in customization mode is displayed with a grid overlay which helps placement and re-ordering of search fields. The grid also functions as a guide when evaluating the size and space requirements of search fields.
The Add...references form in customization mode automatically orders the placement of search fields in the left pane and some adjustment may be necessary to customize the placement of search fields for your requirements.
You can add Empty control search fields from the Available fields pane as placeholders in order to force the automatic re-ordering of the displayed search fields.
The horizontal dividing line in the left pane splits the list selector into Simple (above the line) and Advanced (below the line) search fields.
- If you drag a search field in the left pane over the dividing line, the field will be displayed as a Simple search field.
- If you drag a search field below the dividing line, the field will be displayed as an Advanced search field.
