GroupLayout

Purpose

The GroupLayout enables users to switch between multiple assigned Views or ViewTemplates. It is suitable when several alternative representations exist, but only one of them should be visible at a time.

Behavior

The selection button is shown in the upper-right corner. When the user clicks this button, a list of all assigned Views is displayed. As soon as one entry is selected, the corresponding View is shown and all other Views are hidden.

tip

To customize the label shown in the selection list, you can define a value in the title property of the respective ViewTemplate. If no title is set, a non-configurable default label is used.

Example usage

ActivityFilter_view in Context Organisation, assigned to OrganisationMain_view. In the client, open Contact Management > Company, select any company, and open the MainView. On tab Activities, the button on the right lets you switch between different visualizations of the activities, such as Timeline View, Table View, and TreeTable View.
