Step by step
A new MetaProperty can be created and automatically assigned to a MetaClass via the Create new MetaProperty workflow. This workflow guides the user through the creation and configuration procedure of a MetaProperty and relates it to the selected MetaClass .
- Start Workflow “System / Create new MetaProperty ” from the context menu
- Set at least name, description and data type
- Change the MetaProperty ’s category if necessary
- Save the changes
- Optional configuration:
- - Reference
- - Selective list
- - Unit item
- - Format
- - Validation flag
- - Number of index keys
- - Default values
- - Initial values
Technical implementation
Without the workflow the user has to complete the following steps:
Step 1: Create new MetaProperty instance
- Navigate to the MetaClass CUSTOMMETAPROPERTY
- Create a new instance
- Set at least name, description and data type
- Change the MetaProperty’s category if necessary
- Save the changes
- Optional configuration:
- - Reference
- - Selective list
- - Unit item
- - Format
- - Validation flag
- - Number of index keys
- - Default values
- - Initial values
Step 2: Relate the instance of MetaProperty to a MetaClass
- Open the control “Class Details”
- Set the designated MetaClass to the control
- Add the MetaProperty either by dragging and dropping the MetaProperty's instance onto the MetaClass or by clicking the
button in the menu - By clicking on the button the user has to navigate through the hierarchy to the appropriate MetaProperty
Settings
NEEDSVALIDATION
- explizite Speicherung des Validierungszeitstempels
- zB Verwendung am Client: der Wert dieser Eigenschaft muss am Client validiert, dh. zumindest einmal angeklickt, werden. Bei Verwendung der CLS_TASK Klassifizierung wird dieses Objekt als Finished gekennzeichnet, sobald ALLE solch konfigurierten MetaEigenschaften validiert sind.
