Object List

Displays a list of objects in a tabular layout.

Remarks

It is designed for reviewing, selecting, and managing multiple items at once, such as documents, nodes, or configuration objects. The control supports both single and multi-selection, custom columns, and a variety of interactive features for efficient data navigation and manipulation.

Usage Guidance

Use Object List to display and manage collections of items in Grooper, such as Batch Folders, Documents, or configuration objects. Configure columns to show the most relevant data for your workflow. Enable multi-select and checkboxes for batch actions, and leverage keyboard shortcuts for rapid navigation.

• For reviewing large sets of items, enable fixed-width and auto-select options for consistent layout and usability.
• Use custom row attributes and icons to provide visual cues and integrate with client-side scripts.
• Hide headers or stack columns for advanced layouts and compact displays.
