Five's Lists​

Five has three types of lists. When you add a field to a form you can either include a field in the list or not.

Lookup List​

A lookup list is located in a field. The first field included in the list of the referenced form will be available in the lookup list.

The Record List​

A record list is located in each view when you select a menu item referencing a form. The first two fields included in the list will become the column headers for the list.

Default

  • true for the first field.
  • false for all other fields.

Add a List Page​

A list of records will be the first element displayed when a user clicks the tab to navigate to a list page. This list will hold all the records for the referenced form, and the Add button to add new records.

What Will be Included in the List​

All the fields that you flag 'Include In List' on the referenced form will be the titles of the columns and the values will be represented beneath. For lists that have a lot of fields included, a horizontal scroll bar will be positioned at the base of the list to scroll through the fields.

Example

In the Production application, we will add a Cars list page to the Motor Dealer form so we can assign cars to a motor dealer.

Prerequisite

The form being referenced must be saved in Five.
