In Studio, you can build a presentation quickly by using the
Presentation Wizard.
To create a presentation, you should already have defined a BPM Object
with one or more attributes.
To create a presentation:
- In the Project Navigator, right-click on the BPM Object
(
) you will create the presentation for, and click
(
).
The
Presentation Wizard appears.
- Enter the name of the new presentation in the
Presentation field.
- You want your presentation to be based on the BPM Object. To
select this, check the
From Template checkbox. Do not check the
BPM Preferences checkbox.
- Click
Next.
The
Presentation Referenced Attributes page of the
Presentation Wizard appears.
- In this dialog box you select the attributes which will be
shown as fields in the presentation. Select the attributes that you want the
user of this presentation to see or edit.
The fields will be placed in the presentation as they are ordered
in the attribute list. You control this order either by adding each attribute
in the desired sequence, or by selecting an attribute in the list and using the
Up and
Down buttons to place it in the proper
position.
- Click
Finish.
The new presentation is created, and a presentation editor
is opened with it.
- Make sure the
Properties window is open in Studio. It should
be on the right side. If not, open it by clicking
from the
menu.
- By default, each attribute is added to the presentation as an
input field. If you don't want the user to enter or edit an attribute value,
select it in the presentation editor and go to step 9. Otherwise continue to
step 10.
The properties for the text field appear in the
Properties window. The
Name property of the text field should be
items_text2.
- Set the
Editable property to
No simply by clicking on the property.
- Save your changes.
- You can preview what the presentation will look like. To do
so, click on the HTML Preview (
) icon in the presentation editor.
An HTML preview of the presentation is displayed in your browser.
- Close the presentation editor.
