FieldEx lets you tailor the List View in any module to improve user focus and streamline workflows. Whether you're managing job orders, assets, customers, or spare parts, List Views give you control over which columns appear and who sees them.

What Is a List View?


A List View defines the set of visible columns displayed in the module’s main table view (e.g., Job Orders list, Assets list). You can choose which fields are shown, their order, and sorting preferences.

Purpose: Improve clarity and focus by only showing relevant data to each user or team.

Best Practice: Limit to 10 columns or fewer to maintain visual clarity and usability.

Steps to Configure a List View


Path: Settings > Modules > [Select Module] > List View

1. Create a New List View

  • Click New List View

  • Enter a Name (e.g., “Technician View – Job Orders”)

  • Set Status: Active or Inactive (only active views will be available for use)

2. Choose Columns to Display

  • On the left, you’ll see all available columns from that module

  • Move desired fields to the right using the arrow buttons

  • Use the drag-and-drop feature to reorder columns

Recommendation: Stick to 6–10 columns max for optimal visibility.

3. Apply Sorting Logic (Optional)

  • You can define default sort order for the list view

  • Sort by Date Created, Job Status, Customer, etc.

  • Choose ascending or descending order

Assigning the List View


1. Access Profiles (Role-Based View)

  • Assign to a user group like Planners, Technicians, or Admins

  • All users in that profile will share the same view

2. Individual User Assignment

  • Assign a custom list view just for a specific user

  • Overrides the access profile view for that user
