2.18.1 List Types

Static List

A static list will only contain the objects you specifically include in it.

Dynamic List

A dynamic list will include any existing and new items that satisfy the inclusion criteria.

For example if you have a dynamic list which contains all fields starting with letter A, and you create a field ADDRESS4, the field will be automatically added to the list. Similarly, a dynamic list may contain all objects that belong to a Task ID or a user, or all objects that are created after a specified date.

You can add as many criteria as you want. Objects that correspond to any of the criteria you specify will be included. In other words the criteria are joined with an OR, not with an AND.

Impact List

You use Impact Analysis (after creating an Impact List) to examine the consequences of a particular change to a LANSA object or objects in the LANSA Repository. You do this using one or more searches using specific search criteria. When you execute the search, a list will be produced selecting the objects that may be impacted by a change. The lists can be exported to an Excel or CSV file.
