# List View

A Document Object in a Chapter can be displayed in a List View. This tabular form lists the Document Objects together with their attributes. The Filter, Search and Sort options help you work with the set.

## Inline Editing of Document Objects in the List

To activate Edit mode, click the **Edit** button. This will display edit controls for the attributes currently selected in the **Display additional columns**-dropdown, click **Refresh** and lock the currently listed Document Objects for editing by clicking **Edit**.

{% hint style="info" %}
Note! Not all attribute types are available for inline editing.
{% endhint %}

Use the edit controls to edit the attributes of the Document Objects listed. When completed, click **Save** to save your changes. A **Gap Form** will be displayed. Enter a change comment that will be used for all modified Document Objects.

### (Search) Filter and Sorting

Click on the **Filter** caption to narrow down the displayed Document Object set according to your selected filter criteria. Use the dropdown and the **Plus** button to add filter criteria and set the value for each criterion. The filter criteria are applied using an AND mechanism.

**Sorting** is done by clicking on the sorting glyphs next to the column caption.

{% hint style="info" %}
Note! The search filter settings are stored and applied again the next time you display a list for the given Design Control type.
{% endhint %}

### Display additional columns

Use the **Display additional columns** dropdown to select which attributes and data to display for each Document Object in the table. Click **Refresh** after having updated the value.

### Load Max Items

Use the **Load Max Items** option to limit the number of items to be fetched from the database. This option is particularly useful when loading items from external systems that might suffer from limited performance issues. Click **Refresh** after having updated the value.

### Load From Start / End

Use the Load From option to specify if items shall be loaded from the start or end of the list of available items. This option is particularly useful when loading items from extremely large sets from external systems. Click **Refresh** after having updated the value.

### Search for term

Further refine the yielded set by using the search-as-you-type filter text box, searching for any part of a word in displayed in the grid.  &#x20;

### Filter Columns <a href="#search-filter" id="search-filter"></a>

Use the Filter Columns **Add** button to further refine the yielded set by filtering on one or more columns to find items of interest.

### Paging Options

Use the Paging Options to specify the number of items to display on the current page and to navigate to other pages in the list.

### Navigate between Pages <a href="#paging-options-1" id="paging-options-1"></a>

Toggle between pages using the numbered buttons on the right side above the result grid to navigate between the pages.

## Inspect Document Object "health" using Positive Cues

Just like in the Chapter View, Positive Cues can be used to inspect the Document Objects "health" status. The coloured does next to the Document Object ID indicates an aggregated inconsistency state called **Positive Cues**.
