Development > Interactive dashboard > Dashboard parameters 

This functionality is used to define the different components used in the portal views : these components are either data sources or visual components. The portal setups are provided as standard, and it is not normally necessary to modify them. This function is of use only in exceptional circumstances where it is necessary to create new components.

    Screen management

    Entry screen

    Presentation

    The left list for this function displays the two types of components. Each component is identified by a code, and a single definition tab is used to give the characteristics.

    The fields to define for the visual components are on the one hand a list of setups in the first grid, and on the other hand the list of data sources that can be associated with this visual component.

    In the absence of a data source, the visual component cannot be used.

    For the data sources, only the elements present in the first grid (a list of setups) must be given.

    Fields

    The following fields are present on this tab :

    Block number 1

    • Type (field APPTYP)

    These fields characterize the portal component that is to be parameterized.

     

    • Description (field ZAPPDES)

     

    These fields characterize the portal component that is to be parameterized.

    Grid Parameters

    • Parameter (field PARCOD)

    Used to name the parameters that will be requested by the user when they use the corresponding component in a portal view.

    • Parameter title (field ZPARDES)

    It used to define a name associated with each line.

    This data type is used to facilitate the entry of the corresponding parameter. In fact, if a type is defined :

    • the format controls are carried out.
    • If the data type used is linked to an object, it is possible to use the corresponding selection window.
    • Length (field PARLNG)

    Used to define a maximum length to be used in the entry parameter, notably when it is numeric.

    • Menu (field PARNOLIB)

    Used to define a local menu number to be used to enter the parameter value.

    • Default value (field PARDEFVAL)

    Defined by a calculated expression, a value proposed by default with regard to the parameter when it is used in the portal view.

    Grid Source

    Define a data source used with the visual component that is being parameterized.

    • Relative address (field CMPURL)

    Define the HTML page address called by the portal to trigger the display of the presentation from the XML flow of data sent by the data source.

    This address is a relative address with respect to the portal directory.

    Specific Buttons

    The following fields are included on the window opened through this button :

    Block number 1

    • field OBJET

     

    • field CLES

     

    Block number 2

    • From folder (field DOSORG)

    Indicate the folder from which the record is going be copied. The possible syntaxes are described in the dedicated appendix.

    • All folders (field TOUDOS)

    This option is used to copy the record to all the folders defined in the dictionary (ADOSSIER table from the current solution).

    • To folder (field DOSDES)

    Indicate the folder in which the record is going be copied. The possible syntaxes are described in the dedicated appendix.

    Close

    This button is used to copy all setups of the portal to another folder.

    Error messages
