  • Bamboo List Rollup Grid View
  • Bamboo List Rollup Schema Designer

Use the information in the table below to decide which to use and when.

Web Part Description
Bamboo List Rollup Schema Designer

Icon-Tip Use this first to design a Schema!

The List RollupSchema Designer is used to define schemas. Schemas describe the data that you want to roll up. Although you can preview data in the Schema Designer, it is not used to display data for end users. Use the List Rollup Grid View instead to display the data.

Although you can put this web part on any page in any site, it is best to put it on one page per site. When you add the web part to a page, a list called Bamboo List Rollup Configuration is created. This list is where schema definitions are stored. Since only one list of this name can reside in a site, all List Rollup Schema Designer Web Parts on the site will use the same list.

Icon-Tip Consider putting your List Rollup Schema Designer Web Part on one page per site collection, so your schema definitions can be managed in a central location.

Bamboo List Rollup Grid View

Icon-Tip Use this web part to display the data in the schema you designed!

The List Rollup Grid View web part is used to display the data defined in the schema definition. You can put this web part on any page on any site in your portal.

Icon-Tip If you own the Data Viewer Web Part, Calendar Plus Web Part, Chart Plus Web Part, List Search Advanced or Alert Plus Web Part, you can also use them with a List Rollup Schema. Click the link to the product for more information.
