Add/remove Columns from list screens

ActiveControl 8.50 introduces the capability for users to customise the Business Task and Transport Form list screens in the Web UI, by adding/removing the Fields that they see on screen. This enhancement has been done on the back of repeated feedback that this was one of the primary reasons some customers continued to roll out the Windows GUI to their Developer and Functional user community.

As of 8.50, it is now possible for users to ‘personalise’ the list screens so that they can see certain Custom Fields instead of the out-of-the-box Standard Fields on the screens, thus avoiding them from having to open up individual Business Task or Transport Form to see specific field values.

Configuration Steps

No new configuration is required to enable the adding or removal of fields in the WebUI list screens.

More information on the new feature can be found in this online Change Note.

*As well as being possible to add/remove fields, it is also possible to change the order of the fields as they appear on the screen, by dragging the field headers.

! It is not possible to add [Option] custom fields and [Text] custom fields longer than 20 characters. The latter has been done deliberately by Basis Technologies due to the screen real estate that would be taken up by adding longer text fields. This is something Basis Technologies may revisit – so please do let us know if you see this as a current gap in ActiveControl 8.50.
