View

Select to define the information that appears in this node, then provide values for the following fields.

View Name

Enter the view name that is associated with this node.

Key Field 1 and Key Field 2

Enter key fields for the view.

Fields to Display

Indicate the fields that appear and the order in which the fields appear.

When appearing under the node of the 360-Degree View tree, view information is divided into two sections. The first section can contain 20 characters, and the second can contain 30 characters. Specify which fields you want to appear in which sections, and in what order. Also, you can specify how the information is sorted.

The two sections are separated by a hyphen. If two or more fields appear in one section, those field values are separated by a colon. For example, under an Orders node, you might see this information coming from a view: 2002-09-20 - Pending:d0e5061fcc. In this case, the capture date is defined for the first section, and the status code and capture ID is defined for the second section.

Leaf Image

Select the image for the leaf. The image appears next to the field. If you leave this field blank, the system uses the default tree leaf image.

Display and Fetch

Enter the maximum number of rows that initially appear under the expanded node in the 360-Degree View Tree located in the Activities section of the page. Then enter the maximum number of rows to fetch, or retrieve, from the database and to display under the node when the user clicks View All on that tree node.

The Display option is only valid for the View and EIP node types. If the field is blank for either of these node types, the system uses a default value of 5. Values in this field are ignored for other node types.

The Fetch option is only valid for the View and Peoplecode node types. If the field is blank for either of these node types, the system uses a default value of 1000. Values in this field are ignored for other node types.

Note: The Display and Fetch options do not apply to the Dynamic Grid node action, and they do not influence or control the number of rows generated in the dynamic grid.

Select whether you want the node to appear as a folder or a leaf.

Expand

Select to expand the nodes on the tree when the tree initially appears on the 360-Degree View.
