A Sub-Type listing displays information that can only be accessed through the current service. For example, a product in the Products service may have multiple prices. These prices are not available in a separate service; they are records in a sub-type of the Products service.

Likewise, a group in the Groups service may have many members. The members have records in the Users service but not all Users may be members of the Group. Sub-type records identify only those Users who are members of the specified group.

See the following sections for additional information on using the Sub-Type tab listing:

Sub-Type Tab Listing Toolbar

Sub-type listings include a toolbar that allows users to create, delete, organize, and find sub-type records in the sub-type listing. The toolbar includes the following buttons:

Button Image	Toolbar Button	Function
	New	Opens new sub-type record.
	Open	Opens selected sub-type record.
	Delete	Deletes the selected sub-type record.
	Find	Launches the Sub-Type Find dialog. In addition, you can press CRTL+SHIFT+F3 when focused on a tab that includes a Sub-Type Listing to launch the Sub-Type Find dialog. See Sub-Type Find Dialog.
	Move to Top	Moves the selected sub-type record to the top of the sub-type -listing.
	Move Up	Moves the selected sub-type record up one position in the sub-type listing.
	Move Down	Moves the selected sub-type record down one position in the sub-type listing.
	Move to Bottom	Moves the selected sub-type record to the bottom of the sub-type listing.
	Help	Opens the online Help file for the sub-type listing. In addition, you can press F1 when a sub-type record is open to access the same Help page.

Sub-Type Tab Listing Input Properties

The following sub-type control supports the following input properties that determine if the sorting, find, and move functionality is available for a particular sub-type grid:

• AllowSort: The AllowSort input property can be used by an administrator or developer to configure the sorting behavior within a sub-type grid on a case-by-case basis. When the property is set to 1 for a particular sub-type grid, a user can sort the sub-type records by clicking on the header of the column that will control the sort. When set to 0 (the default setting), sorting is not allowed within the grid.

  An administrator or developer can use the AllowSort input property to configure the sorting behavior within a sub-type grid. However, this only applies to the record that is currently opened. When the record is closed and re-opened or another record is opened in the same service, the order in which the sub-type records appear defaults to the value defined by the administrator or developer in the sub-type entity's Order By field. See Defining the Sort Order for Sub-Type Listings for more details.

• AllowMove: The AllowMove input property can be used by an administrator or developer can use to configure the record move behavior within a sub-type grid on a case-by-case basis. When the property is set to 1 for a particular sub-type grid (this is the default setting), a user can use the toolbar buttons or the right-click menu to move a selected record to the Top of the grid, Up one row, Down one row, or to the Bottom of the grid. Note that the Move commands are disabled when a user selects more than one record in the grid. When set to 0, a user cannot move a record to a new position within the grid (the Move buttons do not appear in the toolbar and the Move options do not appear in the right-click menu).
  
  
• AllowFind: The AllowFind input property can be used by an administrator or developer to specify if the Find option should be available in a sub-type grid's toolbar. When the property is set to 1 for a particular sub-type grid (this is the default setting), the Find button is available in the sub-type toolbar. When set to 0, the Find button does not appear in the toolbar.
