List Views

The List Views editor is the configuration page for the four spec-driven list pages: Invoices, Integration Errors, E-Reporting and Processing Log. One JSON spec per view drives the column shape on each page — labels, type, format, alignment, width, default sort and the filter-row allow-list — and is editable here without touching code.

A second concept lives next to the spec: the column catalog. Each view ships a catalog of every column the underlying tables can produce — the catalog is the source of truth for what is addressable, the spec picks a subset and presents it. The + Add column picker is just a filtered view of the catalog.

View selector

A pill bar at the top of the page switches between the four views currently driven by a spec:

View	Page driven
Invoices	Invoices — view.invoices.
Integration Errors	Integration Errors — view.integration-errors.
E-Reporting	E-Reporting — view.ereporting.
Processing Log	Processing Log — view.processing-log.

Only one view at a time is loaded into the editor. Switching views does not lose unsaved changes on the previous view as long as the page stays open; Save writes the active card only.

A small badge next to the view name tells the operator whether the active spec comes from the bundled JAR default (default) or from an entry stored on db-nomaubl (override):

• default — no view.<name> property exists on db-nomaubl. The bundled JSON in config/list-views/view.<name>.json is what the page renders. Saving from the editor writes a property and switches the badge to override.
• override — a property has been stored. The editor reads the stored value, the page reads the stored value, the bundled default is ignored.

Column rows

Each card carries a table of the columns currently in the spec. One row per column.

Column	Description
⠿ (drag handle)	Drag to reorder. The order in the editor is the order the column appears in the grid.
Name	The spec column name — must match a column in the view's catalog. Read-only on existing rows (the name is the join key with the catalog); editable only when adding via the picker.
Label EN / Label FR	The labels shown in the grid header. Label FR is used when the active locale starts with fr, otherwise Label EN. Both fields are free-form.
Type	string / number / date / datetime. Drives sorting and cell alignment defaults.
Format	Optional renderer: date / datetime / amount / percent / badge. Applied on top of the type.
Width	Pixel width passed to the table's <colgroup>. Columns without a width share the leftover horizontal space.
Visible	Master toggle. Off = the column is in the spec but hidden in the grid (still queryable).
Filter	Allow-list for the Advanced Filters panel. Off = no filter chip is offered for this column.
⌫ (remove)	Drops the column from the spec. The catalog entry is untouched — re-adding it later seeds the same shape.

The default sort lives on the spec but is set elsewhere (today, by editing the bundled JSON or the stored property directly; a UI toggle is planned for a future release). Each view ships a sensible default.

+ Add column

The button below the row list opens the catalog picker — a searchable list of every catalog entry the current spec does not already contain. Each entry shows:

Field	What it carries
Name	The catalog column name — same value the spec stores.
Label	The default English label suggested by the catalog. The French label is derived from the catalog's labelFr if present; both labels can be edited after the column lands in the spec.
Type	STRING / NUMBER / DATE / JDE_DATE / JDE_DATETIME. Drives the spec row's default type. JDE-specific dates carry a built-in decoder (Julian or composite UPMJ+UPMT).

Picking an entry inserts a new row at the end of the table seeded with the catalog defaults. Click Save to commit; the column appears in the page on its next render.

The catalog itself is server-side and is not editable from the UI. Adding a truly new column (one the back-end does not know how to project) requires a code change on the Java handler.

Advanced Filters panel

The spec's filter: true allow-list seeds a second UI on the destination page: the Advanced Filters panel — a collapsible panel keyed by spec column name with per-column operator pickers (contains, equals, ≠, <, ≤, >, ≥, between, empty, not empty). The panel emits a draft state; an explicit Run button commits it as appliedFilters so typing does not spam the back-end.

The list of operators offered per column depends on the catalog entry's filter behaviour:

Catalog filterKind	Operators offered
exact	equals, ≠, empty, not empty.
LIKE	contains, equals, ≠, empty, not empty.
inList	equals (multi-pick — the catalog splits comma-separated buckets into an IN (?,?,?,?,?) clause).
between	<, ≤, >, ≥, between. Applies to numeric and date columns.

Marking a column Filter = off in the spec keeps it visible in the grid but removes its chip from the panel; useful for read-only fields the operator does not need to query.

Schema reference

The spec file looks like this (excerpt):

{
  "name": "view.invoices",
  "defaultSort": [{"column": "creationDate", "direction": "desc"}],
  "columns": [
    {
      "name": "statusCode",
      "label": "Status",
      "labelFr": "Statut",
      "type": "string",
      "format": "badge",
      "align": "left",
      "width": 90,
      "visible": true,
      "filter": true
    },
    {
      "name": "customerName",
      "label": "Customer",
      "labelFr": "Client",
      "type": "string",
      "width": 180,
      "visible": true,
      "filter": true
    }
  ]
}

The name joins with the catalog entry that has a matching key; everything else on the row is presentation. Saving from the editor writes the same shape under db-nomaubl.view.<name>. Resetting the property — easiest done via Configuration → System → Global while it carries the JSON properties — falls the page back to the bundled default and switches the badge to default.

Tips & best practices

• Start with the bundled default. Each view ships a curated default; modify only when an operator-specific need surfaces. The override badge is the operator's signal that the spec drifted from the shipped configuration.
• Use the catalog before requesting code changes. When a column the operator wants is already in the catalog (e.g. logBusinessUnit, logDueDate), + Add column solves it in a few clicks. Reach for a code change only when the column is not in the catalog.
• Keep the filter allow-list small. Marking every column filter: true clutters the Advanced Filters panel — limit the allow-list to the columns operators actually query.
• Set widths on the columns that benefit from them. Status badges, dates, codes have natural widths; long strings should be left without a width so they take whatever room is left. width is also the column's CSS min-width — a too-large value cramps the rest of the grid.
• Hidden ≠ removed. Setting Visible = off keeps the column queryable by the Advanced Filters panel. Use it for technical fields the operator filters on but does not need to read.
