Several issues can influence list edit, including the number of columns displayed, the configuration of the relationship columns, and the number of objects edited in a single session. Therefore:
-
Keep the number of columns to a minimum and consider using two separate list edit configurations for different sets of properties, particularly if these can be associated with different disciplines or data ownership.
-
Relationships can be presented as a pre-populated picklist in the list edit GUI, just like on forms, but this significantly reduces performance and usability when the number of possible related items is large. In this case, use the display override to change the presentation to a Maintain Relationship dialog box as detailed in List edit.
-
Avoid editing a large number of items in a single session, such as a large equipment list. Break down large data sets by unit or some other criteria.
