List View
List view provides built-in views for create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations, making them ideal for displaying many different types of user managable entities in the Control Portal (e.g. alerts policies, scheduled tasks).
Basic Markup
For the header, use the container class .new-list-view-header
, and for each column, use an <h3>
with .col
and .col-*
where *
is the percentage width of the column in increments of 5%.
The body of the list view is a <ul>
or <ol>
with .new-list-view
applied to it. Within each <li>
, there should be a corresponding <div class="col col-*">
for each column defined in .new-list-view-header
.
For list views without headers, include the modifier class .new-list-view-no-header
in the <ul>
or <ol>
. This will add a top border to your list view.

States
In addition to simply displaying data in a list view, there are additional states that should be considered:
Loading Data
Provide text and use a …
to indicate that data is loading in place by wrapping it inside a .loading-list-view-items
item within the .new-list-view
.
View the interactive example of the list view and refresh the page.
Alert Policy
Description
- Fetching alert policies from server…
<li class="loading-list-view-items">
Fetching alert policies from server…
</li>
Failed to Load Data
Provide text to indicate that the data has failed to load inside a .error-list-view-items
item within the .new-list-view
. If possible, provide a link to retry loading the data.
Alert Policy
Description
- Alert policies failed to load.
<li class="error-list-view-items">
<svg class="cyclops-icon danger"><use xlink:href='#icon-exclamation-circle'></svg> Alert policies failed to load.
</li>
Empty List
When a list view is empty, provide a way within the empty list to create whatever entity the list contains by defining the contents of a .empty-list-view-item
item within the .new-list-view
.
Alert Policy
Description
- There are no alert policies on this server. .
<li class="empty-list-view-item">
There are no alert policies on this server. <button class="btn btn-link-text">Apply an alert policy</button>.
</li>
First-Run Empty List
To provide a prominent message about the contents of an empty list, add .feature
to .empty-list-view-item
and use the following as a template for featuring the benefits/info of the service with a call to action.

<p class="lead">Relational DB makes it easy to set up and manage high performance, cost efficient, MySQL-compatible relational databases. </p>
<p><a href="#" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg">create a database</a></p>
</li>
Column Widths
List view columns are built using a .col
and corresponding percentage width .col-*
. Available widths include: .col-10, .col-15, .col-20, .col-25 , .col-30, .col-35, .col-40, .col-45, .col-50, .col-55, .col-60, .col-65, .col-70, .col-75, .col-80, .col-85, .col-90, .col-95, .col-100
Row Types (Items)
The immediate child of a li
element within a list, is the type of row you wish to use. There are four distinct row types for list view.
.list-view-item |
No hover state on mouse over. Ideal for displaying lists of read-only data. |
.list-view-link-item |
Hover state on mouse over. Ideal for use when a column in the row contains an anchor link. |
.list-view-editable-item |
Entire row is highlighted on hover, and is clickable. Clicking the row will link to another page, or the edit form will replace the selected row. Ideal for items whose entire row should be clickable. |
.list-view-read-only-item |
The row is not selectable, and the background is slightly dimmed as to appear un-editable. Ideal for displaying lists where items are a mix of read-only and editable items. |

Row Colors
To highlight rows within a list view, add .list-view-item-*
— where * is success, info, warning or danger — to a .list-view-item
or .list-view-editable-item
.
-
.list-view-item-success
-
.list-view-item-info

.list-view-item-danger
<ul class="new-list-view">

</div>
</li>
</ul>
Row Status
To show the current state of list items (e.g. alert policies), add .new-list-view-status
to modify both .new-list-view-header
and .new-list-view
blocks. Then add .status-warning
or .status-danger
to the <li>
. By default, each <li>
will have a grey (or normal) state.

<div class="col col-35"><a href="#">Disk Usage > 90%</a></div>
<div class="col col-30">Ackowledged</div>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
Inline Form
If an item in a list view may be edited, or a new item maybe added inline, the list view inline form is available for in context editing (as opposed to navigating to a different page). Wrap the create/edit form in an .li
with .list-view-item-form
. Consider the complexity and number of input parameters the form will contain when deciding whether to use an inline form, or having a separate create/edit page.
If allowed, be sure to include a delete button, with confirmation, button in the edit form.

Toolbar
The .new-list-view-toolbar
is a container for block elements used for modifying or augmenting the view of items in a list view (e.g. create and filter). Wrap any text that follows a button with a p
or span
tag to provide padding on the left.
list view header…
<div class="new-list-view-toolbar">

<span class="p-l-xs">1 - 10 of 23 items</span>
<div class="new-list-view-toolbar-right">

</div>
</div>
Responsive List Views
To accomodate narrow viewports (i.e. phones), wrap list views in a .new-list-view-responsive
div and one of the following classes to set the breakpoint. The .new-list-view-toolbar-right
will also adhere to the breakpoint set by the classes below.
.new-list-view-responsive-sm |
768px |
.new-list-view-responsive-md |
992px |
.new-list-view-responsive-lg |
1200px |
In each col
, set an optional label
to appear above each column value.

Nested List View
When it is necessary to display hierarchy (e.g. subaccounts, groups/servers), nest a .new-list-view
immediately after the .list-view-*-item
element. Then add .col-indent
to the .col
within the <li>
in that should be indented.
Six levels of indentation is supported.

Description
Filtering & Sorting
Filtering and sorting can easily be added to a list view by using a
filterableArray
. For information about how to use a
filterableArray
and available options, see the
code documentation.
Be judicious when deciding whether to implement filtering or sorting. Here are some guidelines to consider:
- Allow filtering only on fields that are visible, so users can see why that row or item is being displayed.
- If 95% of the use cases involve having a list of 1-10 items, then it's probably not worth the cost of implementing filtering or sorting.
