Creating a list view is a three-step process:
Create a component of class
FilterableBrowseListViewConfigurationas described below.Add the view to the task configuration file so that it is visible to users. Be sure to map the view name in a resource bundle to a key that you use in the task configuration file. If you skip this step, the view will not display in the Browse tab Show drop-down list. See Changing UI Labels for instructions.
Customize the list as necessary. For example, you can provide a custom style to the nodes in the Navigation pane.
Filterable Browse List View Configuration Component
To organize your items in a list, create a component of class atg.web.assetmanager.configuration.FilterableBrowseListViewConfiguration and save it to the /atg/web/assetmanager/configuration directory. This class creates the list structure used by your view and implements a filtering tool that restricts the contents to items that begin with the letters you type in a text field. For instructions on creating Nucleus components in the ACC, see Appendix C: Managing Nucleus Components in the ATG Page Developer’s Guide.
