The fields on this tab are used to enable and disable aspects related to the display of items in the Cross-Connect, including:
• The edit icon
• A link to add new child items
• A link to the item
• An icon for the item
• The key column in the parent list
• The key column in the child list
The date format utilized on the Cross-Connect is also defined on this tab.
When you are finished making your selections on this tab, click any other administration tab to save your changes and keep the administration interface open, or click OK to save your changes and return to the Cross-Connect display.
When this checkbox is selected, the "Edit Item" icon is included in the Cross-Connect display so users can edit parent and child list items from the web part. The user is brought directly to the edit form for the selected item. When this checkbox is left blank, the edit icon is not displayed.
If this property is not enabled, the asterisk (*) that is usually displayed to the left of the “Add New…” link will also be hidden. The link will still function correctly, however.
When this checkbox is selected, the "Add New…" link is included in the Cross-Connect display so users can add new child list items from the web part. When this checkbox is left blank, the Add New link is not displayed.
When this link is included in the Cross-Connect, the user can simply click on the link or the asterisk and fill out the new item form as usual. When the item is saved, the parent item’s key will be automatically assigned to the child item. When the new item is saved, the user is brought back to the Cross-Connect and the parent item is expanded so the new item can be seen in the display.
NOTE: The Add New… link is only provided for lists that have a base type of GenericList. Document libraries, surveys, discussion boards, and issues lists do not support adding child items directly from the Cross-Connect display.
When this checkbox is selected, users can click a link to go directly to the selected item’s edit form when they click on the item in the Cross-Connect display.
When this checkbox is selected, the Cross-Connect display will include an icon to represent the list or document type. When it is not selected, no icon will be included in the return.
When this checkbox is selected, the column identified as the Parent Key Column on the Sites & Lists tab is included in the Cross-Connect display.
When this checkbox is selected, the column identified as the Child Key Column on the Sites & Lists tab is included in the Cross-Connect display.
NOTE: If the child list key column is the first column in the view, is a lookup, and the Show Child Key Column property is disabled, the Cross-Connect will also hide the “Add New…” link. Therefore, if you want to hide the child key column, please make sure that it is not the first column in the view, or not a lookup column.
When this checkbox is selected, each of the columns in the Cross-Connect is always displayed with the same width, even if the column value does not require the amount of space provided.
This property is available in the Spring 2007 and later releases only.
In the past, when a user opened a page with a Cross-Connect on it, all of the child items would be hidden (collapsed) under the parent items. The user would have to click the plus sign next to each parent item to expand the display and see the related child items.
With this Show Child Details property, you have the option to expand or collapse the display of all child items when the Cross-Connect is initially displayed. This property is not selected by default.
This property is available in the Spring 2007 and later releases only.
The Show Gridlines property on the Display tab is used to either show or hide the gridlines within the Cross-Connect display. Regardless of whether this property is enabled or disabled, gridlines are always used for the table headings for improved readability.
