MavensMate for Sublime Text - Accessing List View Metadata

Question

I'm using MavensMate with Sublime Text 3 to deploy some information to a sandbox, but having difficulty finding metadata relating to the List Views of standard and custom objects. These List Views are not on custom Visualforce pages. Is it possible to manipulate this information using MavensMate or do I need to do this config in the sandbox?

Answer 1

You can edit list views by opening the objects/ folder, finding the .object file that you want to modify, and finding the section of listViews elements, which describe each of your list views. You'll want to read all about it in the documentation.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<CustomObject xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
. . .
    <listViews>
        <fullName>All_Mileages</fullName>
        <filterScope>all</filterScope>
        <label>All Mileages</label>
    </listViews>
    <listViews>
        <fullName>My_Mileages</fullName>
        <booleanFilter>1 AND 2</booleanFilter>
        <columns>NAME</columns>
        <columns>CREATED_DATE</columns>
        <filterScope>mine</filterScope>
        <filters>
            <field>NAME</field>
            <operation>equals</operation>
            <value>Eric Bristow</value>
        </filters>
        <filters>
            <field>City__c</field>
            <operation>equals</operation>
            <value>Paris</value>
        </filters>
        <label>My Mileages</label>
    </listViews>
. . .
</CustomObject>

You can retrieve them my specifying the ListView or CustomObject metadata type in your package.xml; the latter will also include fields, record types, and so on, while using the ListView type directly gives you just list views.

MavensMate, Eclipse, Developer Workbench, Force.com CLI, and any other tool capable of deploying .object files can update the list views using the appropriate .object file.

Answer 2

You should be able to edit your package.xml to pull down the ListView Metadata.
