Table​

This display table with DisplayTableDesignElement set to table will display the list of resources as a simple table filled with several columns.


    <DisplayTable Identifier="Referentiel_Guest" DisplayTableDesignElement="table" EntityType="Referentiel_Guest" IsEntityTypeDefault="true">        <Column CanBeFiltered="true" DisplayBinding="Referentiel_Guest:Login" IsDisplayInSummaryView="true" IsResizable="true" IsSortable="true" />        <Column CanBeFiltered="true" DefaultSortPriority="0" DisplayBinding="Referentiel_Guest:LastName" IsDisplayInSummaryView="true" IsResizable="true" IsSortable="true" />        <Column CanBeFiltered="true" DisplayBinding="Referentiel_Guest:FirstName" IsDisplayInSummaryView="true" IsResizable="true" IsSortable="true" />        <Column CanBeFiltered="false" DisplayBinding="Referentiel_Guest:PhoneNumber" DisplayName_L1="T�l�phone" IsDisplayInSummaryView="true" IsResizable="true" IsSortable="true" />    </DisplayTable>

DisplayTable(Table)

Ergonomically, it is recommended to hide the search symbol in a column header (in a list displayed like a table) if a criterion linked to this column is already displayed in a searchbar. This avoids filter duplication. Thus, the <CanBeFiltered> property can be deleted in the <Column> argument.

Resource Table​

The property DisplayTableDesignElement set to resourcetable allows you to create a table similar to the display table with DisplayTableDesignElement set to table but adds a column containing the owner of the resource.


  <DisplayTable Identifier="AD_Entry" EntityType="AD_Entry" DisplayTableDesignElement="resourcetable" IsEntityTypeDefault="true">    <Column DefaultSortPriority="1" DisplayBinding="dn" IsDisplayInSummaryView="true" IsResizable="true" IsSortable="true" CanBeFiltered="true" ColumnSize="4" />    <Column DisplayBinding="userPrincipalName" IsDisplayInSummaryView="true" IsResizable="true" IsSortable="true" CanBeFiltered="true" ColumnSize="2" />    <Column DisplayBinding="userAccountControl" IsDisplayInSummaryView="true" IsResizable="true" IsSortable="true" CanBeFiltered="true" ColumnSize="1" />    <Column DisplayBinding="rdn" IsDisplayInSummaryView="true" IsResizable="true" IsSortable="true" CanBeFiltered="true" ColumnSize="2" />    <Column DisplayBinding="displayName" IsDisplayInSummaryView="true" IsResizable="true" IsSortable="true" CanBeFiltered="true" ColumnSize="2" />    <Column DisplayBinding="objectCategory" IsDisplayInSummaryView="true" IsResizable="true" IsSortable="true" CanBeFiltered="true" ColumnSize="2" />  </DisplayTable>

Display Table with Tiles​

Read more about tiles.

Instead of creating a table, it is possible to create tiles to give another rendering of the user interface. It is therefore necessary to create the different tiles first. After creating the tiles, they must be imported into the display table with DisplayTableDesignElement set to list.

If the display table uses tiles, then you can't use bindings.


  <Tile Identifier="Directory_User_Tile1" DisplayName_L1="User: first/last name" DisplayName_L2="Collaborateur : nom, pr�nom" EntityType="Directory_User" TileDesignElement="picture-text">    <Item Binding="MainRecord.FirstName" LineDisplayOrderIndicator="1" LineNumber="2" />    <Item Binding="MainRecord.LastName" LineDisplayOrderIndicator="2" LineNumber="2" />    <Item Binding="MainRecord.Title.DisplayName" LineNumber="3" />    <Item Binding="Id" LineNumber="5" />    <Item Binding="PhotoTag" LineNumber="6" />  </Tile>  <Tile Identifier="Directory_User_Tile2" DisplayName_L1="User: dep/loc" DisplayName_L2="Collaborateur : orga/site" EntityType="Directory_User" TileDesignElement="inline data-icon">    <Item Binding="MainRecord.Organization.DisplayName" LineNumber="1" />    <Item Binding="MainRecord.Location.DisplayName" LineNumber="2" />  </Tile>  <Tile Identifier="Directory_User_Tile3" DisplayName_L1="User: contact" DisplayName_L2="Collaborateur : contact" EntityType="Directory_User" TileDesignElement="inline data-icon">    <Item Binding="MainRecord.PhoneNumber" LineNumber="1" />    <Item Binding="MainRecord.MobileNumber" LineNumber="2" />  </Tile>  <DisplayTable Identifier="Directory_User" EntityType="Directory_User" DisplayTableDesignElement="list" IsEntityTypeDefault="true">    <Column DefaultSortPriority="1" ColumnSize="6" IsDisplayInSummaryView="true" SortBinding="MainRecord.LastName" Tile="Directory_User_Tile1" />    <Column ColumnSize="3" IsDisplayInSummaryView="true" Tile="Directory_User_Tile2" />    <Column ColumnSize="3" Tile="Directory_User_Tile3" />  </DisplayTable>
