UI Action Config

Revision as of 12:25, 2 September 2016 by KNO (Talk | contribs) (KNO moved page UI ACTION CONFIG to UI Action Config)

UBIK® Studio provides a mechanism to custom Workflows that are be executed after the user performed an action. This action is a trigger for the workflow, and the object he performed the action with, is handed over (as input parameter) for the workflow.

UI (user interface) Action configuration objects are used to configure these Workflows that should be executed after the user performs a certain user action. You can find the standard UI Configuration objects in the "System.Main.Settings" namespace.


Configuration

Use the Namespace, Name and Description property of the UI Configuration objects to organize your objects.


Action key

The action key defines for which UI Action the configuration object is defined for. Supported actions are:

  • Click
  • Doubleclick
  • Drag and Drop
IC Hint square.pngIt is suggested to structure your configurations object wisely and define several configs for the same Action!


Workflows

You can define the workflows that are executed for the configuration object via a relation SYSREL UIACTION WORKFLOW.

Properties for the Relation

Property Description
Enabled you can enable/disable the execution for every single workflow without removing it from the relation
AdminRights this Checkbox indicates whether the user needs Admin - Rights to execute the workflow. As the user has not switched to Admin mode, the workflow is ignored.
Configured Name Rule Refer to the Name Rule Configuration object you need to pass to the workflow.

Parameters

Define the trigger parameters for the action via the parameter relation SYSREL UIACTION PARAMETER.

Parameter Key

The parameter Key defines the type of the criterion. It is important to set the correct parameter key to get the expected behavior.

Moues Click Parameter Keys are:

  • Click Target

Drag&Drop Parameter Keys are:

  • Drag Source
  • Drop target
  • DragDropSource
IC Attention.pngAs it is not possible to create a relation to one object more often then once, you have to use DragDropSource in the case you want to use this object as well as DragSource and as DropTarget!

Keys without any action are:

  • UserParameter_01 to UserParameter_05


Evaluation Type

The evaluation type indicates whether the related Metaclass and all its derivates are the object you want to perform the action with (evalutation type = Metaclass) or whether you want to perform the action with all instances of the given Metaclass (evaluation type = instances).
