List formatted line item in NUX.

ManjunathKN

Hi,

 

In modules when we have list formatted line item selector it will show the child items first and parent next in drop down selector. But when I publish the same grid in NUX it will show parents first and child last. 

 

Is there a way to fix this.? I don't want to use workarounds like flat lists. I still have to see the parents but I should see the child first in list formatted line item drop down in NUX.

 

Thanks,

I don't think you could do that.

Yes, i dont see a way either.

but, it will be difficult to chose the child items in sum formulas.

Any chances that dependent drop-down would be helpful?

Hi 

Please find the use case in brief.
List 1 --> Child
List 1.1---> Parent

List

List 1

List 1.1

List 2

List 2.1

List 3

List 3.1

List 4

List 4.1

List 5

List 5.1

Module
		Time in column
List in rows	LI in rows
List 1	LI 1	Number
	LI 2	List formatted line item (drop down)
	LI 3	LI 1[sum: LI 2]
List 2	LI 1
	LI 2
	LI 3
List 3	LI 1
	LI 2
	LI 3
List 4	LI 1
	LI 2
	LI 3

Assume summaries are turned off for module.
In module when I want to select based on dropdown, child item that is(List 1) will appear first but same module in NUX, Parent (List 1.1) will appear first. it is okay for small lists, but for big lists it is cumbersome to scroll right and down to select the child.

Thanks!

 

I agree, there is no way we can manage order in drop-down selector for Totals. And it might be a problem for huge hierarchical lists.

I think the only solution I have is to use dependent drop-down:

LI 1	Number
LI 2	List formatted line item PARENT (drop down)
LI 3	List formatted line item CHILD (drop down)
LI 4	LI 1[sum: LI 3]

 

In terms of your example, the User should firstly select Parent LI 2 and then select Child LI3. Two steps are required for selection, but it is more convenient in terms of scrolling. 

Hope that helps

 

Thanks,

hi @ogilkons 

Thank you for the reply! much appreciated,

Use case was brief in my case. Basically, in your solution I can use the immediate parent drop down and child. In this case users wont be having visibility to parent of parents.
