Datalist Inbox Userview Menu extends the usability of Datalist Builder's listing with the generic Task Inbox. Unlike the usual Task Inbox which has it's own set of predefined columns, Datalist Inbox Userview Menu enables you to select your own list, allowing you to display the key value of an item. This increases productivity and cuts down time wasted clicking and checking each item.

| Name | Description |

| Custom ID | Item link slug. Optional field. Unique field Value defined here must be unique to the rest of the Userview Menus as the first matching name will be called upon. |
| Label | Menu label. Mandatory field. |
| Datalist | Datalist to load. Mandatory field. Tip Make sure that the "id" of the dataset in the Datalist reflects the Process Instance ID or record ID that can be used to match to the actual assignment.
This is especially important when one is using the JDBC Datalist Database Binder to define its own query. |

| Process | Filter by process(es). Required when Assignments to Display is set to "Assignments for a Process only" or "Assignments for selected Activity only" |
