Configure Virtual Hitlist Columns

Currently every column of a hitlist that is configured in cubedesigner is directly related to a descriptor or object-property.

We would like to add "virtual" hitlist columns, that can be a combination of multiple descriptors / object-properties.


Such as:

Descriptor 1: Customername

Descriptor 2: Customernumber


Currently this needs to be two columns in the hitlist. We would like to configure the following column:

%%Customername%% (%%Customernumber%%)

    We plan the feature "Configuration of dynamic values" for release 14.6 (Q2 2026) which will include several function similar to this.

    The main purpose of the feature (actually it will be a bundle of features) is to reduce the need of scripting. Deatils are not refined yet but I added this requirement to the ticket to take it into account in the refinement process.

    i think we can manage to fulfil our requirement by adding one of these two fields or both to a resultlist. Still with the feature as described above there would be even more flexibilty (no limitation to these two fields), but with the flexibility the system already has i think it is not a high priority topic.

    Hello,

    Yes, I mean Instanzbeschreibung.

    Hello,

    DisplayName (Instanzname) is well know and used a lot in our applications - using this for the requirement described above is indeed an idea that we will consider.

    What exactly do you mean with DisplayType? Instanzbeschreibung?

    Hello,

    do you know the feature of DisplayName and DisplayType for a document class?

    You can combine different descriptors as well as static text to build a DisplayName and DisplayType.These props can then be added as columns to a result list (object properties with IDs DocumentDisplayName and DocumentDisplayType).

    A second option would be the so called Row footnote / Zeilenfußnote. This adds a footnote for every entry and the text can hold different descriptor values and static text as well.


    Do these options meet you requirement?
