Moving Columns Around

Larry Dreifke

I've been asked to either remove the "Priority" column or move it to be the last column.  How do I do that?

 

Thanks.

I'm afraid there's no "out-of-the-box" way to do this but it's possible by tweaking some files. Any time you modify files, I would suggest making a backup first and noting any changes as part of a comprehensive deployment plan so you have the changes documented in case an upgrade over rights the file.

 

In v7, there is a collection XSL files you can edit for each respective list to re-order the columns. For example, the one that controls Blank Forms is located at:

 

C:\Program Files\Metastorm BPM\Web\ie\XSL\BlankForms.xsl

 

For each column, you have to move the entire

node around with all the included behaviors and xpath queries while maintaining the header separator.

 

In version 9.x it's much easier. The columns are enumerated in the Default.skins file and you can freely move the order around. This file would be located at: C:\Program Files (x86)\Metastorm\BPM\Web\app_themes\Default\Default.skins
