Each view (except the Explorer View) contains a browse list. In a standard list layout, each row in the grid corresponds to a record in the table (asset items in the Asset View, categories in the Category Lookup View, and so on). Each field is displayed in a separate column. The active row is highlighted so that it easy to see which record that is selected. In a card list, there is one cell per record.

When you create a new database, AssetCAT automatically adds various standard list layouts to the database. A list layout contains information about which fields to display, the font to use and so on. You can easily modify the default layouts, or create your own layouts.

You select list layout from the drop-down to the left above the browse list.

You can also manage the list layouts in the active view by choosing List Layouts from the View menu. Here you can both add, edit and delete list layouts.

To create a new list layout, right-click the list layout drop-down list and choose Add List Layout from the popup menu.

This will open the 'Add List Layout' window. Here you can select the fields you want to display in the list, select font, etc.

When you create a new list layout in the Asset View, you first see the 'Add List Layout - Select Type' window. Here you must select whether you want to create a standard list layout, or a card list.

Here you can modify the properties of the column, such a text alignment, color and column width. Click OK to add the new column to the list.

You can move the column to a new position in the list by using drag-and-drop (hold down the Alt key while you drag).
