How do I manage the display of listed information?

Description

You can configure and save display preferences for the columns in any list view as follows.

You have the following options:

  • rearrange the sequence of columns

  • re-size columns

  • pin columns to the left or right of your display

  • filter attributes

    NOTE: Filtering inputs are not saved for the next session.

  • auto-size individual columns or all columns to fit data

  • sort column lists based on selected attributes

    NOTE: Column sorting changes are not saved for the next session.

  • show/hide columns

  • export column data to CSV, XLSX, or XML

Steps
 

Open a list view. The columns specific to the service, service component, or inventory object are displayed.


Configure the following column display preferences. To reset the columns to the settings at the start of the session, hover over the column heading and click png2.png, Reset columns. To see more columns, scroll to the right.

  1. To rearrange the left-to-right sequence of columns, click and drag on a column heading.

  2. To resize columns, hover over the vertical line between two columns, then click and drag when the arrows appear.

  3. To pin columns, hover over the column heading and click png2.png, Pin column. Then click Pin left, Pin right, or No pin.

  4. Some columns provide a filtering field that users can populate with characters in order to refine their search.

    To filter attributes, the following rules govern this process:

    • By default, when a column will return an alphabetic string - such as a name - the filtering uses the “Contains [...]” logic

    • By default, when a column will return a numeric string - such as a port - the filtering uses the “Equals (=)” logic

    • The user can override this by clicking png33.png inline with the filtering field and choosing an alternate logic

    • When filtering using either the “Contains [...]” or “Not contains [ / ]” logic, two characters act as wild cards: _ when trying to match a single character, and % when trying to match multiple characters

    • Under these circumstances, the user can only search for these characters themselves if they are preceded by \ in the filtering field

  5. To auto-size one or more columns to fit data, hover over the column heading(s) and click png2.png, Autosize this column or Autosize all columns. You can also use png15.png (Table settings & actions), Autosize all columns.

  6. To sort list objects in ascending or descending order, click on a column header to sort the data. You can perform multi-column sorting by holding down the SHIFT key while clicking the column header. The sort icon png35.png is only visible for columns that are already sorted.

  7. To clear column sorting or filters, click png15.png (Table settings & actions), Clear Sorting or Clear Filters .

  8. To show or hide columns, click png15.png (Table settings & actions), Manage columns. Deselect the columns you want to hide, or select the columns you want to show. Click APPLY.

    Note: In the Service Management, Services view, columns can be shown for custom attributes that have been added by augmenting the existing service models. For more information, visit the Nokia Network Developer Portal.

  9. To export column data to CSV, XLSX, or XML, click png15.png (Table settings & actions), Export (.cvs), Export (.xlsx), or Export (.xml).

    Note: When this action is performed, only the data loaded into memory will be exported. Additional data from the database will be excluded.

    Note: There are columns in multiple grids where sorting and/or filtering is not supported.
