List windows in Horizon contain a list of records. This List Items window in Cataloging is an example of a list window:
You can change the display of a list window by specifying list properties.
To specify list properties
1 | Open the view for the window that you want to reconfigure. (For instructions on opening the correct view, see Finding and Opening the Correct View.) |
2 | Choose the view that you want to edit, or create a new view. |
Horizon displays an Edit Horizon View window.
3 | Click Page Down or resize the window to display the List View group: |
4 | Complete these fields as necessary: |
Field |
Action |
||||||||||||
Column Name |
This field specifies the name of the database column on which the list window is based. Horizon defines this name; do not change it. |
||||||||||||
This field lets you change the order in which columns display. It displays the numerical order that columns display, usually from left to right of the columns in the list (except on the Bibliographic Detail window, which displays columns from top to bottom). Enter the order number for the column. (For example, the column farthest to the left of a list would be “Ord 0”, the column immediately to its right would be “Ord 1”, and so on.) |
|||||||||||||
Column Label |
Enter the name of the list window column that you are editing. The column name is defined by your library and is the column name that the user sees on a window. |
||||||||||||
Enter the number of characters that the column can display. You can specify up to 255 characters. Horizon displays approximately 55 characters per line with a maximum of five lines. If information in a column on a list window appears cut off or incomplete, it is because the number of display characters is too small to allow all the information to be displayed. |
|||||||||||||
This field specifies what is displayed in addition to the actual information in a column. For example, the zeros to the left of the right-justified tag number shown here are pad characters: Enter the pad characters that you want to use. |
|||||||||||||
Properties |
This field specifies how much of the column information is displayed. Choose one or more of these options:
|
||||||||||||
If the column you are adding comes from a bib or authority record, this field provides space for entering the MARC map that points to the tags and subfields that contain the information displayed in the column. This field works for search and RBR title list windows. Enter or choose the code for a MARC map. For more information, see MARC Maps and Specifying What MARC Information Is Displayed in Search and Reserve Bookroom (RBR) List Windows. |
|||||||||||||
Enter or choose the code for a sort processor. (For more information, see Choosing How Columns Sort Data.) |
5 | Save your changes. |
6 | Do one of these options: |
• | If you want to change additional properties for the view, continue with Specifying Edit Properties. |
• | If you are finished changing view properties, exit Horizon and log back in to view your changes. |
