Enhancement request - ways to customize column view

asked on January 22, 2015

Based on a couple of discussions I've had here at the Town, there were a couple of suggestions that came up for customizing column views in Laserfiche:

1) One thing that was discovered here was if you right-click in Laserfiche, on the column headers, and select More, if you deselect everything (i.e. uncheck all checked boxes), the column view changes so that all of the template fields associated with that folder become all of the columns.  Although it doesn't appear we can reproduce this behavior anymore, this could be a handy tool to quickly set up a view in a folder (and modify later), and then customize and save for future use.

2) Since we've been working to get template fields up and going for the various groups (and folders) within the organization, as you can imagine the number of template fields to select (when right-clicking on the column headers and selecting More) is getting quite large!  Would it be possible, in a future release, to consider a way to group the various template fields together so you could more easily navigate through all of the templates, and only expand the template(s) you needed.

I'm sure there will be more suggestions coming, but that's what we've got for now! enlightened

Hi Marty,

Great suggestions! We're currently looking into simplifying the way fields are selected for column displays, so it's good to hear how you're working with this part of the software.

Can you clarify #1 for me? I'm not able to reproduce that either. You'd like a way to quickly add all fields associated with the parent folder's template as columns?

This would be really useful!!

Currently, I'm faced with having to show every user how to set up columns on many different folders.  If there could be a quick default, where I could set the columns within folders based on specific templates, and have my defaults show up for all users, that would make things far more user friendly for our staff!!

Basically what *had* worked previously was when we right-clicked on the column headers and selected More, when we deselected all columns (i.e. all fields that were currently displaying) and clicked OK, all of the template fields associated with that folder/document would automatically display.   I'm not sure why this was working before, but my coworker discovered it, and we thought it was a hidden feature we didn't know about! :)
