Editable Lists

Editable lists are blocks in list mode where the rows on the list are editable.  Blocks are considered lists when the Max Number of Rows property is set to something other than 1.  Blocks are considered editable when the Display Only pop-list is set to false for the block.

Creating Editable Lists

  1. In the Explorer Tree, locate the object for which you wish to create an editable list block.  

  1. Display the Property Sheet for the block.

  2. Set the Max Number of Rows property to something other than 1.

  3. Set the Display Only pop-list to false for the block.

  4. In the New Rows First property, select true or false.  

    When this property is set to true and the Num New Rows property is set to a value other than 0, the new rows generated for the insert of new database records will be displayed at the top, before the existing database rows.  

    When this property is set to false and the Num New Rows property is set to a value other than 1, the new rows generated for the insert of new database records will be displayed at the bottom, after the existing database rows.

  5. In the Num New Rows property, enter the number of new rows that should be generated on this block for the insert of new database records.  If new records cannot be created on this entity, set this property to 0.

  6. To create a Delete link, see the Deleting Records in List Blocks section
