Using the Container Element in a List

When a container is used within a list to group columns, the grouped columns will be displayed in one column with the container title displayed as the heading for that column. A container can be used in a list as follows:

Figure 1. List Container XML

<list entity="Person" criteria="isPrimary==false" 
    show-icons="true">
  ...
  <container>
      <title id="FullName.Title">Full Name</title>
      <column id="firstName">
        <title id="FirstName.Title">First Name</title>
      </column>
      <column id="lastName">
        <title id="LastName.Title">Last Name</title>
      </column>  
  </container>
  ...
</list>

It is possible to apply a width value to a container, as shown below where the container takes up 60% of the width available to the list:

<list entity="Person" criteria="isPrimary==false" 
    show-icons="true">
  ...
  <container>
      <layout>
        <width>60</width>
      </layout>
      <title id="FullName.Title">Full Name:</title>
      <question id="firstName" mandatory="false"
          control-question="false" multi-select="false">
          <label id="FirstName.Label">First Name:</label>
      </question>
      <question id="lastName" mandatory="false"
          control-question="false" multi-select="false">
          <label id="lastName.Label">Last Name:</label>
      </question>
  </container>
  ...
</list>
