Customize Display Tables

This part shows how to define a custom way to display entity types' data.

Table​

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

Code attributes enclosed with <> need to be replaced with a custom value before entering the script in the command line.

<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="Telephone" 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 search bar. 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.

Code attributes enclosed with <> need to be replaced with a custom value before entering the script in the command line.

<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​

.

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>. Display tables with other values of <DisplayTableDesignElement> cannot display tiles.

See the Tile topic for additional information.

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

Code attributes enclosed with <> need to be replaced with a custom value before entering the script in the command line.

<Tile Identifier="Directory_User_Tile1" DisplayName_L1="User: first/last name" DisplayName_L2="Collaborateur : nom, prenom" 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>
