Editing Adding new views (section)

===New options in EPrints 3.1===

====subfield no longer supported====

The subfield option is no longer supported in EPrints 3.1.

====new_column_at====

This is an array of integers representing the number of items in a view list before another column is added.  For example:

 [ 10 ]

This would have one column of values until there were 11, then there would be 2 columns.

 [ 10, 10 ]

This would have one column if there were ten or less values, two columns if there were between eleven and twenty (ten + ten) values, and three columns for all other cases.

 [ 0, 0 ]

This would always have three columns.

Add one to the number of integers in the array and you get the maximum number of columns.  The value of each integer defines the point at which that column becomes full, and more values cause an 'overflow' into the next column.

====variations====

This controls the various ways in which a browse view can be subheaded.  It consists of a list of strings.  Each string is the name of a non-compound metadata field (or the keyword DEFAULT, for an unsubheaded list), optionally followed by a semi-colon and a comma separated list of options.  E.G:

 variations => [
  "creators_name;first_letter",
  "type",
  "DEFAULT"
 ],

See [[views.pl]] for the list of options.
