You can customize the list views in SDL LiveContent Architect with metadata properties.
Before you begin
Before you begin, you have located the list view you want to modify.
Procedure
- Open the configuration file of the list view of your choice
- Determine where the metadata property has to be displayed in the user interface.
- Create a new XML element in the configuration file.
The name of this element corresponds with the element name and should always be uppercase (for example, <FTITLE />).
- Add all desired attributes to the XML element.
| Attribute | Description |
|---|
LABEL | Holds the property’s label that is shown as header when displaying the data. |
SORT | Indicates whether a property can be used for sort purposes or not. |
FILTER | Indicates whether a property can be used for filter purposes or not. |
WIDTH | Indicates the column width of the property. |
DATA-TYPE | Indicates the type of data that the property will contain. This is used for aligning the values. For example, “text” is to be left aligned, “number” is to be right aligned. |
STYLE | Contains the CSS-class style that is used to display the property data. |
TITLE-STYLE | Contains the CSS-class style that is used to display the property header. |
