SmartList display names like numerical values

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Juli 450

HI,

I created a new smartlist using GP tables, but some columns show me numerical values, like ítem descripción and ítem category 1, this last record is defined like text, but in SmartList is showing values like 1 or 2, any idea to correct it? Is GP 2015 R2.

Regards

Julia Gallegos

    As usual I suspect Béat is correct. I see this quite often when I update summary smartlists and forget to change the summary method from count (the default) to group by.

    Regards,

    Julia,

    Can you post here the source code for your SQL View that you reference in SmartList Builder ?

    Thanks

    Hi Béat, is using SmartList Builder, but using the GP tables... to solve I made a new SmartList Builder from a SQL view.

    Thanks

    Hi Julia,

    How did you create this new smartlist ? by using SmartList builder or designer ? I suspect that somehow your underlying code is trying to group some fields and returns count values instead of the real field content .. 

    Can you post your SQL code behind the custom smartlist ? 

    Thanks
