Introduction
Unlike the Inbox Menu which is limited to its own set of predefined columns, the Datalist Inbox Userview Menu allows you to define your own datalist columns to display important values for your list records.

Figure 1: Datalist Inbox Properties
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| id | Menu element unique id. Userview will use this id in the URL for the menu if the Custom ID is empty. |
| Custom ID | Item link slug. Optional field. Ensure that value defined here is unique to other userview menus in the app, since the first matching/conflicting ID will take precedence in page loading. |
| Label | The userview menu label. You can add Font Awesome Icons into your menu labels. |
| Datalist | Datalist to load. This is especially important when Datalist Database SQL Query is used to query the selected datalist's records. Ensure that the "id" of the records in the datalist matches the process instance ID or record ID of the actual assignment. In Joget DX, process instance IDs generated is now a UUID, instead of a predictable ID format previously used in Joget v6.
