A Working List is a saved list of records within a single record management type (Element Occurrences, Elements, etc.), plus information that characterizes the set, such as list name and owner.
A Working List is populated with a list of records by performing one or more searches using a Search window. It is a static snapshot of the records that met the search criteria when the Working List was created. Therefore, individual records in a list may be altered so that they no longer meet the original search criteria used in creating the list, but the records will remain in the Working List until further action is taken to remove them.
Deleted and inactive records are silently removed from working lists by the application.
Working Lists are managed in the Working Lists window. Working Lists of the selected Working List Type (Element Occurrences, Elements, etc.) that meet the Filter By criteria are displayed in a grid. Clicking on an ID opens that working list, and clicking anywhere else in the row opens the details (properties) window for that working list.
When a Working List is opened or created, the records in the list are displayed in a grid in a window specific to the Working List type. The grid columns are unique for each Working List type and are designed to give the information most useful for distinguishing between records at a glance. The list itself is saved in the database as a set of record identifiers and the properties that characterize that set, such as name and owner.
Buttons above the list of records apply only to selected records, and buttons in the window footer apply to the list itself (Save, Delete) or apply to all records in the list.
Note: there are no working lists for Higher Classification units.
