Standard Layout Types

Updated: July 17, 2023

Some layout types have been extracted to ease up defining layouts.

listingTable

This layout type defines templates to use for the view, csv, pdf modes, as well as additional modes for selected columns edition, and sort infos edition, depending on configuration held by the layout definition.

Global properties

The following properties can be set directly on the layout definition, for a specific mode or for any mode:

  • showListingHeader: this boolean property controls the rendering of the listing table header, defaults to true.
  • showRowEvenOddClass: this boolean property controls addition of a style class to highlight row and even classes, defaults to true.

Row or Column properties

  • columnStyleClass: this property can be used to control style class of a given column.
  • useFirstWidgetLabelAsColumnHeader: this boolean property controls display of the first widget label as column header.
  • sortPropertyName: this property controls the property that will be used to handle sorting when clicking on the column header.
  • label: this property controls the label that will be used for this column when selecting it for column display or sort information definition.
  • isListingSelectionBox or isListingSelectionBoxWithCurrentDocument: this property controls the display of the global "select all/unselect all" header checkbox or action.  The "WithCurrentDocument" property should be preferably used when listing is displayed on a page where the current document should be available.
  • isHidden:  this property is useful for the pdf and csv modes, when a column does not need to be presented in this cases (typically the selection checkbox).
  • showInSortInfoSelection: this property controls the availability of the corresponding sort property when defining sort infos to apply in a filtering form. It is checked in modes edit_sort_infos and edit_sort_infos_map only.

listingThumbnail

This layout type defines templates to use for the view, csv, pdf modes, as well as additional modes for selected columns edition, and sort infos edition, depending on configuration held by the layout definition.

A first layout (with corresponding selection checkbox as well as document title and thumbnail is displayed), additional column/rows configuration are piled up in the box, under the thumbnail.

Global Properties

The following property can be set directly on the layout definition, for a specific mode or for any mode:

  • thumbnailHeaderLayout: this property controls the layout to be displayed in the thumbnail, defaults to layout listing_thumbnail_header.

Row or Column Properties

  • isBoxTitle: this boolean property controls the display of a specific style class to highlight corresponding widgets in the box.
