HELiOS Options: Result List

The settings in the Result list tab of the HELiOS Options window refer to the search results for Projects, Folders, Documents and Articles.

• If the Show attributes of classification masks checkbox is activated, a column with object classification data (if there is any) will be displayed in the result list.
• If the Show status info in object status column of linked objects list checkbox is activated, corresponding symbols will be displayed in the Release status column of the result lists in the HELiOS Desktop.

• The Allow direct editing in result list determines whether object attributes can also directly be edited in result list rows. If the checkbox is deactivated, a changing of attributes is only possible in the editing mode of the corresponding detail mask. If it is activated, editable attributes (their editability depends on a) the attribute itself and b) the configuration of the individual result list), can also be edited directly in result list rows.
• If the Show confirmation after direct editing of result list checkbox is activated, aktiv, a security prompt will be displayed after editing one result list row and clicking on another one (without confirming with ENTER (see below), asking you whether you want to apply the edits (Yes) or continue editing (No). If you click Cancel, the editing mode of the currently selected row will be continued. If desired, you can also suppress this message by activating the same-named checkbox.

In the Object-specific area you can select the following object types from the Object of type drop-down list:

• Document
• Folder
• Article
• Pipe class
• Project
• User-specific type,
• Folder objects
• Utilized articles

and specify for each of them whether its result list remainder to be reloaded in the background: If there are more that 10.000 items, the process can take several minutes. If you use the Load result list remainder in background setting, only the first 12 documents will be shown. The rest of the result list will be subsequently loaded in the background. Once the list is loaded, there will be no more delays.

If you do not use the Load result list remainder in background setting, all documents will be loaded at once (e.g. when sorting or rearranging). This procedure can block the computer for some time.

1. Select a module and set defaults for the selected module.
2. The Load result list remainder in background is activated in all modules by default. The other options are deactivated.

A particular feature concerns the Utilized articles: If the Sort sequence by occurrence in product structure checkbox has been activated (Default: deactivated), lists of the type Utilized articles in the Product Structure context will be shown with the same sorting as in the Product Structure when they are called for the first time.

If the Query option beneath Load objects in list if "project-independent" was selected has been activated , you will be asked whether the currently displayed result list should be re-loaded if you selected Project-independent in the HELIOS Desktop. If you activated Always load, this will happen automatically, i.e. without any further queries.

Beneath Show objects the Current state option is active by default, i.e. the current state of the database objects in the database will be displayed. If you activated the All states option, older revision indices of the data will be considered as well. If you activated Current and last released state, the current state and the previous state of objects that are currently being edited.

Beneath Row height you can choose between Small, Medium, Large and Dynamic. The Dynamic setting makes sense if you are working with particular icons or multi-line texts which require a variable row height. Please note however that build-up times may be longer.

Example:

• Small: 

• Medium: 

• Large:
