User-Defined Datalist Management

Datalists are a fundamental component in the application design. For examples, the Constituent Address List, Ad-hoc query list, System Role List, and Constituent Giving History list are all fairly common to designers who work in the program. In addition to the long list of datalists included with the program, you can easily add datalists to the catalog that can then be used to define new pages or edit existing pages.

Note: For more information about datalists, see Datalist

For example, you plan to add an Active Events tab to the existing Events Overview page. On this tab, you want all events currently designated as “Active” in the program to display. To accomplish this, you need a datalist of “Active events” and one does not exist in the default version of the program. From the User-defined Datalists tab, you can add this new datalist. You can also edit and delete user-defined datalists from this tab.
