Configuring the Grid Controls and Component Controls

You can customize the appearance and behavior of the Compare table.

To configure the Grid Controls and Component Controls:

  1. Access the Compare edit view.
  2. In the Grid Controls panel, set the appearance and behavior of the table the end user sees:

    • Column width in pixels: This column width applies to all record columns.
    • Enable attribute filter box: Enabled by default. Disabling this setting causes the filter and search box to disappear from the end user view.
    • Enable highlighting by default: Disabled by default. Enabling this setting causes the Compare component to highlight differences between records when they are first loaded. Because no record is in the baseline position when records are first loaded, the highlight is in “highlight with no baseline record” mode.
    • Enable difference highlighting controls: Enabled by default. Disabling this setting causes the Highlight differences button to disappear from the end-user view.
    • Highlight color: Changes the color used for the highlighting feature.
  3. In the Component Controls panel, set controls that the end user will see and (optionally) a transistion page for the Record Details component:

    • Display name property: Set the property to be used as the display name in the end user's view of the record.
    • Target page for record details: Specify a separate page to display record details.
    • Disable back button: If checked, hides the Back button from the end-user view.
  4. Click Save Preferences to save your changes.
