LookupViewTemplate

This page provides generated reference documentation for the LookupViewTemplate data model.

Enables you to integrate lookup functionality into a View, meaning the option to select a specific dataset of another Entity via its LookupView (= the View selected in property "lookupView" in the corresponding Context).

Overview

colspan

Type: Integer
Default: 1
Constraints: Minimum: 0, Maximum: Integer.MAX_VALUE

The colspan of the element.


consumerField

Type: String

Field which consumer should be used as the source for the lookup component.

<!--EOF-->

The UID of the selected dataset will then be assigned as value of the Entity field specified in property consumerField. This Entity field must have a Consumer that is connected with a Provider of the other Entity that holds the datasets from which the user wants to select.


consumerPresentationMode

Type: EConsumerPresentationMode

The presentation mode that should be used for the lookup component.

  • POPUP -> The lookup view of the consumer will be shown within a popup adjacent to the field.
  • EMBEDDED -> The lookup view of the consumer will be shown inside its parent view.

devices

Type: EDeviceType[]

Determines on wich devices the component should be available.

The default value states that the component is available on all devices. If one or more devices are selected then the component is only available for those selected devices.


entityField

Type: String

This property is mandatory. Its value must be set to

  1. #ENTITY, when the ViewTemplate uses multiple EntityFields of the Entity belonging to the View (default).
  2. a single EntityField, if the ViewTemplate uses only this one single EntityField (example: WebContentViewTemplate).

The second option will result in a performance optimization.


rowspan

Type: Integer
Default: 1
Constraints: Minimum: 0, Maximum: Integer.MAX_VALUE

The rowspan of the element.


title

Type: String
Constraints: Verification: TITLE_LENGTH

Title of the component
