Settings

The following settings for sections are general valid, no matter what view type is used.

Name

Name
name `String`	Used source - see Sources
caption `String`	Friendly name of the section.
group `String`	If you define this value in multiple sections, you can group several sections into one menu group.
type `String` or `String[]`	What view type should a section support. `list` (default) = show entries as list / table `map` = show entries on an interactive map `orgchart` = show entries as interactive organizational chart `timeline` = show entries as timeline The different types can be stacked. One section can have multiple views. If the passed value is an array, the user will be able to switch between the different views in the UI. Example: `- name: customers caption: Kunden type: - list - map`
description `String`	Description, which is shown on top of each section in the UI
role `String`	`ADMIN` = only admins can see this section `USER` = every user can see this data If you don’t define it, role `USER` will be applied.
formId `String`	Use an existing form to provide an “add” feature in this section. Forms are highly flexible and support multiple types of fields and validations. Refer to: Forms
formLabel `String`	The caption of the “add” feature for the defined form.
columns `List<object>`	This is defines which columns are shown in the section and how they should behave. You can define the data types, the label and if they should be shown in the summary or in the detail-view. Refer to: Column Types Example: `columns: - label: 'Kommission' key: 'SalesOrderCommission' - label: 'Prod.-Auftrag' key: 'ProductionOrderNumber' type: 'number' showInTableHeader: false showInDetailList: true`
sortField	on what field should the sorting be applied. By default, this is `name`. This sorting is always applied when the user opens a list the first time. This is especially useful, if you want to sort by date or priority. A user can always overwrite the sorting by clicking on the column header of a list.
sortOrder	`asc` = (default) list the entries in ascending order (A to Z) `desc` = list the entries in descending order (Z to A)
hidden `Boolean`	Whether the section should be hidden from the sidebar
