Note: Reports based on list views make use of framesets to provide a view of drilldown reports. HTML5 does not support framesets, so these reports may display badly, or not display at all in HTML5-compliant browsers. The best solution is to rewrite the custom list views you need as Report Definitions. Note: standard management reports are available as report definitions.

This rule generates HTML that provides an attractive interactive display. The resulting reports can be run from a link in the Monitor Activity workspace, presented in a flow action, or executed through other processing.

In an activity, the Obj-List-View method can execute a list view rule to provide searching and sorting with no display.

With appropriate configuration on the Organize tab, a list view rule can support editing of PRPC data (property values) in Microsoft Excel.

Completing the rule form

As a best practice, start by generating the report with the Report wizard; you can refine the resulting list view rule. When using the List View form, complete the tabs in the following order:

  1. Use the New dialog box to record the rule key.
  2. Complete the Display Fields tab to record the layout of an HTML <TABLE> display of results.
  3. Complete the Content tab to define a search of the PegaRULES database and exploit the retrieval, filtering, and sorting power of database software.
  4. Use the Organize tab to apply further filtering, sorting, paging, and define buttons for the display.
  5. On the Format tab, define interactions and advanced capabilities.
  6. Update the Full Description on the History tab with a report title.
  7. Complete other optional tabs and fields.
  8. Save the rule.
  9. Optionally, review the generated HTML on the HTML tab.
  10. Test by selecting the Run option in the Actions menu.
