AccountedPro - Settings reference
There are three places settings live, and they inherit in that order: site → DocType → layout. Anything left blank falls through to the level above, and finally to the Desk's own stylesheet — which is what keeps dark mode working.
Advanced Listview Settings
/app/advanced-listview-settings — a Single, System Manager only.
| Setting | Effect |
|---|---|
| Enable Advanced Listview | The master switch. Off means every list on the site is Frappe's own, immediately. |
| Governed DocTypes | The opt-in list. A DocType not listed keeps the stock list whatever layouts exist for it. |
| Theme defaults | Density, row height, font sizes, stripe colours, group header appearance, link hover — the same shape a layout can override. |
The governed list is read when the Desk boots, so reload the Desk after changing it.
The kill switch
Unticking Enable Advanced Listview is the intended escape hatch if a Frappe upgrade ever breaks something. Nothing is lost: layouts, saved views and settings all stay, and ticking it again brings everything back exactly as it was.
Per-DocType settings
In the builder, the List settings panel holds the settings for the DocType being edited — the same ones the governed-DocType row carries, mirrored here so you are not working across two pages.
| Setting | Effect |
|---|---|
| Use Advanced Listview for ‹DocType› | The per-DocType switch |
| Open it by default | Whether readers land on this layout |
| Opens in | Table, Cards or Board |
| Rows per page | Page length |
| Clicking a row | Opens the document / Expands the row / Does nothing |
| Group rows by | The group field, including one reached through a Link |
| Row thumbnail | Which field supplies the picture |
| Quick filters | Whether Frappe's per-field inputs above the list are shown |
| Auto refresh (seconds) | Re-run the query on a timer |
| Full screen / Hide filters in full screen | Wall-display mode |
| Where the rows come from | This DocType, or a Server Script |
Layout-level settings
Everything in the Theme panel belongs to the layout it is edited in, and overrides the site defaults for lists using that layout. See Grouping, saved views and theme.
What belongs to a person
Not everything is configuration. These follow the reader, not the layout:
| Stored where | |
|---|---|
| Column widths, order, which are hidden | Per person, per DocType |
| Density and view mode, once changed | Per person |
| Which groups are collapsed | Per person, in the browser |
| Saved views, and which is their default | As documents, private or shared |
Reset view in the toolbar clears a person's own adjustments and returns them to the layout as built — which is the answer when someone has dragged a column somewhere they cannot undo.
Permissions to build
| Doing this | Needs |
|---|---|
| Reading a list | Whatever the DocType requires — nothing extra |
| Saving a personal view | Nothing extra |
| Sharing a view | Nothing extra; a shared view can be limited to a role |
| Building or editing a layout | System Manager, or write access to Advanced List Layout |
| Governing a DocType | System Manager |
The DocTypes behind it
Useful when granting permissions or moving configuration between sites.
