Overview of Light Weight List
Description
The Light Weight List makes it easy to define a SQL-backed table view and editing surface inside a UX component. A builder guides you through selecting the connection, table, and columns to display.
Discussion
While the existing Spreadsheet Control is well-suited for desktop-style, heavy-duty data entry, the newer Light Weight List offers a faster tool for working with modern web and mobile applications.
Creating a Light Weight List
To add a Light Weight List to a UX component, select Light Weight List from the Data Controls section of the UX Component toolbox. When you configure the control, a builder is opened where you can choose the connection string, table name, and columns to include.
After you have specified the connection string and table name, you can render the component and immediately start working with live SQL data.
Builder options
The builder lets you:
• Specify how many columns to display or choose <Custom> to manually select columns.
• Configure column types, picklists, date pickers, and formatting options.
• Enable features such as Drag Fill, Drag Move, row state indicators, and parent–child relationships.
