List display configuration files

Distributed Marketing controls the display of lists through three XML files:

  • listmanager_tables.xml
  • listmanager_list.xml
  • listmanager_searchScreens.xml

These files are in conf directory under your Distributed Marketing installation.

At installation, these XML files are populated with examples that work with the sample data provided.

Note the following:
  • To add special characters to the listmanager XML files, use Unicode encoding. For example, é should be encoded as U+00E9.
  • To use certain characters in the configuration files, you must use XML entities. For example, using < as a value will break the configuration file, as it is part of the XML syntax. You must use the entity for <, which is &lt;.
  • If you update the listmanager XML files (for example if you add new columns or a new list display), you must also update the corresponding properties files (list_language.properties and searchscreen_language.properties ).
