List (record) components
You can use record list components to display raw data from a data source without performing a summation. When adding a record list to a dashboard, note that the administrator may have created a default set of columns for the viewable content. If needed, you can further modify this set of columns in your personal profile settings. For details, see "Defining a new default set of columns" below.
When viewing list components, note the following:
•By default, column widths are auto-sized when a list is rendered, ensuring that all data is visible in each column. You can resize the widths to prevent horizontal scrolling, but upon refreshing the display, the columns will default back to the auto-sized width. To disable this option, clear the General tab > Columns autosizing option.
•To resize the width of a column, hover your cursor in the column header and over the column line you want to adjust, then drag the line to the left or right.
•Paging may be turned off for your user account. To toggle paging on, click the 
icon in the top-right corner of the page to display the paging 
icon. For paging to be turned on by default, your administrator must enable the setting for your user account.
•Columns in the display can be edited, formatted, and sorted (see the next procedure). You can also modify the default set of columns that displays in the result. These are temporary changes specific to a single component in the display.
To edit list component properties
If you're not already connected to a data source, click the 
icon in the left navigation pane and connect to one.
1.From the navigation pane, drag and drop a list component onto a pane in the layout.
2. Click the 
icon in the component header. The List Component dialog displays the following options:
General tab
•Title: Title for the record list as it will display in the pane header.
•Data source: Data source used for the component, which you can change here if needed.
•Distinct records only: Depending on the data model and the filter being applied to the component, Xtraction may display duplicate records. Select this option to remove the duplicate records. Use only when required, as this option increases the load on the system.
•Show title summary: Xtraction creates a title summary of what the component does, along with your own title. If you clear this option, the default summary is removed. For example, the title "Incidents (Last Month)" becomes just "Incidents."
•Columns autosizing: Column widths are auto-sized when a list is rendered. Enabled by default.
•Page size: Settings for the number of records to display per page.
Columns tab: Define a temporary set of columns that is specific to this component in the display:
•Right-click in the Column area and select Edit columns.
•From the Select Columns dialog, select a new set. In the Selected Columns list, ensure that the columns are in the order you prefer. Click OK.
•In the List Component dialog, click in the Format column to set the format for columns that display numbers. For example, Decimal (3) would return a number such as "4.567." You can also change the sort order here by dragging and dropping column names into the Sorting area.
Filter tab: Criteria used to filter the data from the data source. Right-click in the blank area to add a filter condition or open a saved one. For details about filters, see Creating filters.
Highlight Rules tab
•Add rules to specify the background and/or text color for rows or individual cells in a record list. This tab displays these categories separately, so it’s easy to see the order in which the rules will be executed. You can create many highlight rules for each record list, and the rules are applied in a top-down hierarchy (i.e., the first rule that is matched is applied to the cell or row):
•Right-click in the blank area and select Add rule.
•Enter a name for the rule, then add one or more conditions.
•For each condition: From the Apply on drop-down, specify where you want to apply the condition (the entire row or a specific cell), then select a color for the text and/or background. For example, you can specify that every row with a Priority 1 incident is highlighted red and that each active Priority 1 VIP incident is highlighted with a contrasting color. When finished, click OK.
•Highlight rules are also applied on exported tables.
•Some limitations to using highlight rules:
•You cannot remove columns from lists that use highlight rules.
•You can only apply highlight rules to fields used as columns.
•A field must be defined in the data model as both List and Filter to be able to have a highlight rule applied.
Notes tab: Enter explanatory text directly into the blank area, which will display when your mouse hovers over the 
icon for the component. If Show notes is selected for an export, these notes are included in the component export.
3.Click OK to save.
About encoded URLs
If your data source includes any encoded URLs, the list component presents these as active hyperlinks when you view the data in Xtraction. It's up to your administrator to add these links via the Xtraction Data Model Editor application.
The inclusion of encoded URLs enables you to open a specific record in its native application from Xtraction. For example, if you're looking at data in a record list that's sourced from a service desk web application, clicking an encoded URL link enables you to launch that application and view the record details within it.
Links become navigable by either double-clicking the specific record or right-clicking the record and selecting from a menu. Either action opens the URL in your browser.
Defining a new default set of columns
For the list components of each data source, the administrator may have created a default set of columns for the viewable content. You have the option of defining a new default set based off of that one, which then takes precedence for your account.
To define a set of default columns
1.At bottom of the page, click the Profile > Settings link.
2.Open the Default Columns tab. Right-click in the list and select Add.
3.Navigate to the data source for which you’re creating the default columns list, select it, and click OK.
4.In the Default Columns dialog, right-click in the Columns area and select Edit columns.
5.In the Select Columns dialog, select the columns that you want to view and click Add selected to move them over to the Selected columns list. If you want to remove a column from this list, right-click it and select Remove field.
6.Click OK when finished.
7.In the Default Columns dialog, apply these optional changes:
•Format: If a column has numerical values that you want to format, click in this column to select from a list of options. For example, Decimal (3) would return a number such as "4.567."
•Sorting: Organize the sort order of the columns. Drag and drop column names into Sorting to define the list.
8.Click OK to save.
