## Details
You can define a custom schema for the list in the `app.config.json` file and access it with the
`presetColumn` property as shown below:
```json
"`adf-cloud-process-list`": {
"presets": {
"customSchema": [
{
"key": "name",
"type": "text",
"title": "name",
"sortable": true
}],
"default": [
{
"key": "name",
"type": "text",
"title": "name",
"sortable": true
}],
}
}
```
```html
<adf-cloud-process-list
[appName]="'appName'">
</adf-cloud-process-list>
```
You can also define the schema in the HTML using the
[Data column component](../../core/components/data-column.component.md). You can combine this with schema
information defined in `app.config.json` as in the example below:
```json
"adf-cloud-process-list": {
"presets": {
"customSchema": [
{
"key": "id",
"type": "text",
"title": "Id",
"sortable": true
}],
"default": [
{
"key": "name",
"type": "text",
"title": "name",
"sortable": true
}],
}
}
```
<!-- {% raw %} -->
```html
<adf-cloud-process-list
[appName]="'appName'" >
<data-columns>
<data-column key="key" title="title" class="full-width name-column">
<ng-template let-entry="$implicit">
<div>{{getFullName(entry.row.obj.assignee)}}</div>
</ng-template>
</data-column>
</data-columns>
</adf-cloud-process-list>
```
These are all the available columns that can be displayed in this component:
**_appName_**, **_businessKey_**, **_description_**, **_id_**, **_initiator_**, **_lastModified_**, **_processName_**, **_parentId_**, **_processDefinitionId_**, **_processDefinitionKey_**, and **_status_**.
### Setting Sorting Order for the list
You can specify a sorting order as shown in the example below:
```ts
let sorting = [{ orderBy: 'status', direction: 'desc' }];
```
```html
<adf-cloud-process-list
[appName]="'appName'"
[sort]="sorting">
</adf-cloud-process-list>
```
<!-- {% endraw %} -->
### Pagination strategy
The Process Instance List also supports pagination:
```html
<adf-cloud-process-list
[appName]="'myApp'"
#processList>
</adf-cloud-process-list>
<adf-pagination
*ngIf="processList"
[target]="processList"
[supportedPageSizes]="supportedPages"
#processListPagination>
</adf-pagination>
```
The configuration related to the pagination can be changed from the `app.config.json`, as described in the example below:
```json
"pagination": {
"size": 20,
"supportedPageSizes": [ 5, 10, 15, 20 ]
},
```
#### showRowContextMenu event
Emitted before the context menu is displayed for a row.
Note that the ProcessListCloud itself does not populate the context menu with items.
You can provide all necessary content via the handler.
```html
<adf-cloud-process-list
[contextMenu]="true"
(showRowContextMenu)="onShowRowContextMenu($event)">
</adf-cloud-process-list>
```
Event properties:
```ts
value: {
row: DataRow,
col: DataColumn,
actions: []
}
```
Handler example:
```ts
onShowRowContextMenu(event: DataCellEvent) {
event.value.actions = [
{ title: 'Hello Context Action' },
{ ... }
]
}
```
![](../../docassets/images/context-menu-on-process-list.png)
This event is cancellable. You can use `event.preventDefault()` to prevent the default behavior.
The ProcessListCloud will automatically render the supplied menu items.
See the [ContextMenu](https://www.npmjs.com/package/ng2-alfresco-core)
documentation for more details on the format and behavior of context actions.
#### showRowActionsMenu event
Emitted before the actions menu is displayed for a row.
Requires the `actions` property to be set to `true`.
Event properties:
```ts
value: {
row: DataRow,
action: any
}
```
Note that the ProcessListCloud itself does not populate the action menu with items.
You can provide all necessary content via the handler.
This event is cancellable. You can use `event.preventDefault()` to prevent the default behavior.
#### executeRowAction event
Emitted when the user executes a row action.
This usually accompanies a `showRowActionsMenu` event.
The ProcessListCloud itself does not execute actions but provides support for external
integration. If actions are provided using the `showRowActionsMenu` event
then `executeRowAction` will be automatically executed when the user clicks a
corresponding menu item.
```html
<adf-cloud-process-list
[actions]="true"
(showRowActionsMenu)="onShowRowActionsMenu($event)"
(executeRowAction)="onExecuteRowAction($event)">
</adf-cloud-process-list>
```
```ts
import { DataCellEvent, DataRowActionEvent } from '@alfresco/adf-core';
onShowRowActionsMenu(event: DataCellEvent) {
let myAction = {
title: 'Hello Action'
// your custom metadata needed for onExecuteRowAction
};
event.value.actions = [
myAction
];
}
onExecuteRowAction(event: DataRowActionEvent) {
let args = event.value;
console.log(args.row);
console.log(args.action);
window.alert(`My custom action: ${args.action.title}`);
}
```
![](../../docassets/images/action-menu-on-process-list.png)
You can use any payloads for row actions. The only requirement for the objects is that they
must have a `title` property.
When an action is selected in the dropdown menu, the ProcessListCloud invokes the `executeRowAction` event.
Use this to handle the response, inspect the action payload (and all custom properties defined
earlier), and perform the corresponding actions.
