  • 1.  Sorting by Area Column on list_cnt form

    Posted Jun 27, 2019 02:45 PM
    I am not able to sort my Incident ticket list (list_cnt)  by the "Area" column, whereas I am able to sort by other columns - priority, status, etc ... see attached image (list column visual).

    My list_cnt file contains the following code where the data (category.sym) matches for all sections (list column, search filter and edit-in-list)

    start edit-in-list section
    listEditField("priority");
    listEditField("category.sym"); 
    listEditField("status");
    ===================================================================================================
    start list column section
    <PDM_MACRO name=lsCol hdr="Priority" attr=priority>
    <PDM_MACRO name=lsCol hdr="Category" attr=category.sym sort="DESC" width=300>
    <PDM_MACRO name=lsCol hdr="Status" attr=status width=100>
    ===================================================================================================
    start search filter section
    <PDM_MACRO name=sfDropdown hdr="Priority" attr=priority factory=pri>
    <PDM_MACRO name=sfHier hdr="Category" attr="category.sym" factory=pcat_in>
    <PDM_MACRO name=sfDropdown hdr="Status" attr=status factory=crs_in>
    ===================================================================================================

    Scenario 1 - see attached image
    all 3 sections say attr=category.sym
    I can make changes using the edit-in-list function but I can NOT sort on the Area column
    I can start typing an area and the drop down list appears with all active areas

    Scenario 2 - see attached image
    both list column and search filter sections say attr=category
    edit-in=list section says attr=category.sym
    I can NOT make changes using the edit-in-list function (it shows ?category?  false) but I can sort on the Area column

    Scenario 3 - see attached image
    all 3 sections say attr=category
    I can make changes using the edit-in-list function and I can sort on the Area list however I can NOT see the areas in the drop down list when I start to type an area name.
    If I was to click on the + next to category instead of just starting to type an area, I would only see the list of ones which are set for self-service. I need to be able to see all of our active areas.

    Is there something I am missing in the list_in file for the edit-in-list drop down?

    thank you

    hi,

    can't get this listedit thingy to work...

    but, if you want to sort in list for category, then change to 
    <PDM_MACRO name=lsCol hdr="Category" attr=category sort="DESC" width=300>

    in my case, if have no autosuggest in any filter field. never recognized that....

    regards

    Marc,

    If I change that line in the list column section of the file (list_in) to attr=category then I am NOT able to use the edit-in-list function to change the category on tickets. The category field shows (false) where the category name should be and even if I enter a new category in the field it does not allow you to change it on the ticket.

    See image:

    Hi Katherine,

    Change all references of "category.sym" to just "category". I found this to work.

    Hi Lindsay,

    I did try what you suggested ... see scenario 3 and the image from above in my original post.

    I can sort the column and the edit-in-list function works all except the part where when I start to type the category name I want to change multiple tickets to, I can not see the text in the drop down list. Its like the text is there but I just can't see it - do I need to specify the white text color somewhere?

    I see the same behavior if I try to type in a new Category. Clicking on the heading and using the hierarchical lookup seems to work though.
