in this video we'll show how you can
define column
actions for columns in a list control
so you can see here that we have a
columnar list control
and each column in the list has this
icon over here which define the column
actions
so for example if i click on the button
for the city field i get a drop down
showing all of these cities
so this is a list of the unique values
in the city column and if i were to go
here for example
and check say madrid and then click on
filter
then we would basically find all the
rows that have madrid
and you can see that the icon has
changed here to indicate that
this column has a active filter
so let's go here now and instead of
saying all the rows that contain madrid
let's say all the rows that
do not equal madrid and then go ahead
and then hit filter
and you can see now i get all the rows
that don't have madrid
and then you can see i can also go here
and do a contains and not contains
in order to filter this list of choices
yeah i can go there and type in say
m a and now there's all of the
choices that contain m a anywhere in the
field
and then to remove the filter i just
need to go ahead and click the clear
button
and you can see that the icon goes back
to the
default state and now will show all the
records
if i were to apply a filter to multiple
columns then those filter criteria would
all be
and together so the way in which we
add column actions to a layout
is we open up the list builder and go to
list properties
and then you can see in layout
properties there's a
option here called has column actions so
this is going to turn on column actions
for every column in
a list layout but if i want to
turn them off for particular columns i
can go
over here to list layout i can go for
example to say
uh country and then we can scroll down
to
our column properties and you can see we
can go and hide the
actual the icon for the country field
so if i go ahead now and click ok
and then run this component i'll see
that all of the columns have the icon
accepting for country which doesn't have
the icon
so what we've shown in this video is how
easy it is to add
a column action icon
to the columns in that list layout
to apply filtering to the data in the
in the list thanks very much for
