You can add, delete, or duplicate an object row(s), as well as edit the object details and property values in cells under the column headings in the results table.

  • Select the object(s) displayed in the results grid, and click LIST EDIT.

Why can't I see List Edit?

The ability to use List Edit must be configured by the system administrator for each specific object and data type. Access permissions must also be granted to your user profile and role to use List Edit. Existing security permissions for any configuration can also mean that List Edit does not appear in the toolbar or actions menu for some data types.

List Edit is disabled by default. For more information about configuring objects for List Edit, see Configure objects for use in List Edit.

Why can't I edit data in a column?

The columns you see and the order they are displayed is determined by the access to the object's column set. The object values displayed in columns in the List Edit window can be configured to be viewable, editable, mandatory, or read-only. Some objects may be configured to be only viewable by a specific role but may be editable by another role. You might not have access to columns due to the column set access set for your role.

For more information on your role's access to editing values in columns, contact your system administrator.

What are the List Edit commands?

The following commands are available in List Edit to manage and edit objects in the results table.

Select

Name

What it does

Add New Row

Creates a new row based on an object classification where you can add the property values in the column headers.

Duplicate Row

Duplicates an existing row along with all its property values into a new row.

Delete Row

Deletes or terminates a row and all of its object property values.

Cell Highlighting

Highlights all the cells that have unsaved modifications.

UNDO ALL

Reverts all unsaved changes in the results table back to the original setting.

SAVE

Commits all the List Edit changes to the database.

  • All new objects are automatically added to the Pinboard.

  • The Delete Row command can be configured so that it does not display. For more information, see Configure the Delete command in List Edit.

  • You cannot revert changes after clicking SAVE.

  • You can duplicate any newly created row before it is committed to the database.

Why can't I see Delete in List Edit?

Your administrator can remove the Delete command for object rows in List Edit to help prevent users from deleting important records from the database. The display of the Delete command can be configured for each object type. For more information, see Configure the Delete command in List Edit.

  • If you display related items from a starting object, newly created items need to be related to the original object. For example, if you are editing the related tags from an area, any new tags created need to be related to the original area using the Area column.

  • The name column is only editable in newly created rows. When ENS is configured for the object type, the name column is not editable.

  • If the classification column is not present in the column set, you must choose the required class definition for the new object from the classification tree. You can view the object's classification by clicking Expand Details at the beginning of each row if it is not present in the column set.
