Interaction and Usage Specifications

General Interaction Notes for Object List Templates

• An Object List Template is an object oriented page. The table (or HGrid) on the the page represents objects. Actions are surfaced as either functional icons (in the table/HGrid), control bar functions (associated with select column), global table level buttons, section level or page level buttons.
• Each object in the application should "live" in an object list. This group of objects is typically surfaced also in the tab/navigation structure.
• Object List Templates are core templates used throughout a BLAF application. When an object is selected from the table (or HGrid) the user is taken to the specific Object Template. There are many valid object templates. See Object Template guidelines for additional details.
• Master/Detail Templates are a combination of Object List and Object Templates. See Master/Detail Templates for further details.
• If the table or HGrid is updatable, follow the Save Model guideline for details on saving or applying updated content.

Object List Template - Schematic of Table/HGrid as Flat List of Objects

Object List with Table (as Flat List) Alone	Object List with HGrid Alone
This object list is used when searching is not needed (the table/Hgrid is a relatively small set of data) and there are not many actions (less than 4) or need for multiple select actions (i.e. no control bar). Table (or HGrid) may or may not be updatable with web widgets. Table (or HGrid) may or may not contain functional icons.

Object List Template - Schematic of Updatable Table/HGrid

Object List with Updatable Table	Object List with Updatable HGrid
This object template is used when quick access to updating information is needed. The updatable attributes in the table should be the most frequently used attributes for that object.

Object List Template - Schematic of Table/HGrid with Select/Act Funcitionality

Object List - Table with Select /Act Functionality

Object List - HGrid with Select /Act Functionality

This object template should be used when many actions can be performed on an object or objects within the table/Hgrid. However, this should be used when the table/Hgrid is a relatively small set of data and that search is not needed. Table exposes a control bar with object-specific actions. The control bar is associated with the select column. The select column may be single or multiple select depending on the application functionality. Table (or HGrid) may or may not be updatable with web widgets. Table (or HGrid) may also contain functional icons if single and multiple select functions are needed.

Object List Template - Schematic of Table/HGrid with Search and Results Functionality

Object List - Table with Search and Results Functionality

Object List - HGrid with Search and Results Functionality (Note: After search is conducted, results will return a flat list (table) of results.)

This object list is used when there is a large number of objects in the table/Hgrid and searching is needed to help the user reduce the set or isolate specific objects. There are not many actions associated with this table or the need for multiple select functionality. Search is specific to this list of objects. Search may contain other options such as Advanced Search. See Search Templates for additional details. Table (or HGrid) may or may not be updatable. Table (or HGrid) may contain functional icons. Note that when an Object List with an HGrid exposes search, the results of the search are displayed in a flat list (table). See HGrid Flows: Search in a Hierarchy guideline for details.

Object List Template - Schematic ofTable/HGrid with Search/Results and Select/Act Functionality

Object List - Table with Search/Results and Select/Act	Object List - HGrid with Search/Results and Select/Act (Note: After search is conducted, results will return a flat list (table) of results.)
This object template is used when there is a large number of objects in the table/Hgrid and there are many single and/or multiple selection actions needed; hence, the search and the control bar are used. Search is specific to this list of objects. See Search Templates for all search options. Table (or HGrid) may or may not be updatable. Table (or HGrid) may contain functional icons.
