ListPart in the List - screen occupation

Miljan Milosavljevic on 12/11/2018 9:28:30 AM
There are few use cases where ListPart Pages are shown in the List Page. In those cases it is not alway pretty how the SubPage or the Repeater Control in the list occupies the screen depending on the lines count. Suggestion is to be somehow able to controll occupation of the screen or that screen is divided in 50/50 ratio independant of the lines count.

Thank you for your feedback. We released this feature as part of the functionality in Optimized use of space on a page. 
You can now add one or more ListParts to a List page and they will consume equal vertical space. We are looking forward to more ideas on how we would give users and/or developers more control over the allocated space 😊

Example: Modified the same list page to page type 'ListPlus' with 2 listparts. This seems to set a fixed height on the parts (unclear how the height is defined) When working with 2 monitors and moving the page (browser tab) to another window with a smaller resolution, the size of the repeater control is changed. Putting the page back to my main monitor the size is still respected, but the whitespace between the repeater and listpart is gone. The listplus seems to take up more valuable space than a list too (e.g. the DataCaptionExpr region should be able to be hidden) For a listplus page, I would like to allocate the screen height manually across the different parts too.

This idea is highly needed to speed up the conversion of complex pages (containing multiple listparts) to be workable in the webclient.

Improving the dev experience on 'List' / 'ListPlus' / 'Worksheet' page with multiple listparts.

In RTC, we have a lot of list pages (PageType : 'List') with one repeater and multiple listparts. These pages looked ok / rendered well, all worked fine (and fast!).

In the webclient, all pages of types 'List' / 'ListPlus' / 'Worksheet' act differently, each have its own limitations and rendering troubles in the webclients (when combined with multiple listparts) and none come close to the RTC experience....

Example: A list page in RTC with 2 listparts worked fine. When using this page in webclient, the listparts randomly resize in height, resulting in my active list of the repeater to dissappear. Request would be to disable the automatic sizing of the listparts and be able to manually allocate the screen size accross the different parts.

Example: A list page in RTC with 2 listparts worked fine. When working with 2 monitors and moving the list page (browser tab) to another window with a smaller resolution, the size of the repeater is reduced to 0, resulting in my data no longer being accessible.

If the answer would be that 'List pages are intended to only contain one repeater control and not other groups / parts ...' then please provide valid alternative. List pages do contain the filter pane option, while 'listplus' seems not ...
