Hierarchy View

In the Hierarchy View, a user can use the View Details command for a selected entity to pop up a dialog that gives a compact view of the entity and some of its child records.

This compactViewChildrenNumber attribute controls how many child records of each type should be shown (this defaults to 5).

The columns and child types that are shown in this view are controlled by the showInHMCompactView attribute on columns and child objects. For the primary object, showInHMCompatctView="true" must be set for any columns that should be displayed. For child objects, showInHMCompatctView="true" must be set for any objects that should be displayed. If this attribute is not set for any columns of the primary object or any children, only the label for the subject area is displayed in this dialog.

<subjectArea name="Person">
        <primaryObject hmEntityTypeUid="Person">
            ...
            <layout columnsNum="3">
                <column columnUid="C_PARTY|NAME_PREFIX_CD" editStyle="FIELD"

                <column columnUid="C_PARTY|FIRST_NAME" editStyle="FIELD"
