Getting Started

Browser Configuration

 

The Browser Configuration mask (Manager> Structure Browser > Browser Configuration) is used to define the tabs which should be displayed in the browser window. The name, the top-level-icon, the structure, etc. of a tab are specifically defined in here. Each tab is defined separately.

If too many tabs have to be displayed, the browser window will organize them in multiple rows to avoid scrolling.

The Title field is a multi-lingual field. More than one language can be set up for it. In order to show the new language, the system has to be restarted.

 

General Tab

 
 
Field Description
Name Name of the Browser Configuration entry.
User flag It is possible to define specific views with the same name for different users/groups.
Group/User Shows the current user name.
Active -
Explorer Activates or deactivated this browser tab.
Close Defines if a tab can be closed separately or not. When activated, the close tab option (X in the lower right corner) is activated.
Title Title of the tab in the browser.
Icon A bitmap can be selected to be shown as top level icon in the browser (e.g. ).
Flyout Fields A list of fields, separated by a comma. They are used as flyout indicator.
Preselection

A userexit that can be directly defined by field names and their values, using a LogiView or C userexit.

Search condition for the data to be displayed.

Pres. Parameter For further information please refer to the DataView > DTV User's Guide > The Graphical Browser > Comfortable Brower Configuration for Agile e6 documentation.
Drop Function Controls the drop behavior in this tab.
Menu Function This function will be called at a menu creation time. The browser structure can be modified again.
We recommend only experts should use this function!
When opening the Browser Configuration mask the first time, by default only those entries are shown that are displayed in the browser (the Explorer checkbox is selected). Clicking the refresh button, will show all other entries except those entries that are displayed in the browser. To be able to show all possible entries, the search function has to be used and the Explorer checkbox has to be set to undefined ().
 

Structure Tab

 

The entries for each tab and their structure are specifically defined in the Structure tab.

 
Column Entry Description
Structure object type D (Data entries) The immediate following item is data (no folder).
  H (Hierarchy Element Structure) The next structure level is opened when clicking the + beside the entry.
  N (No select menu entry) Defines the context menu that is opened when clicking on a main entry (not on the included data).
  S (Select Menu entry) Defines the context menu that is opened when clicking on the included data.
Relation type I (Indirect Relation) Node elements can only be seen after opening the node. When deselecting the Relations flag in the browser, the node will disappear.
  D (Direct Relation) Node elements are shown directly.
  F (Fix entry (always visible)) Similar to Indirect Relation. When deselecting the Relations flag in the browser, the node will not disappear.
  N (No relation) No relation.
  Only when the objects in the browser are configured as Indirect Relations, the Relation flag in the Browser works.
  For structure elements direct relations make no sense, because structure elements have no data. Indirect or fix relations can be used.
Userexit e.g. iwf_lis_exp Defined userexit for the relation.
 

For structure elements this userexit in connection with @EXPLORER has to be used.

For data elements it is strongly recommended to use this userexit with parameter in form <userexit>:<parameter> (without the brackets).

Userexit Parameter @EXPLORER...
...
The parameter @EXPLORER has to be added to the userexit for structure elements. It calls the browser and its data is read from the entity EDB-EXPLORER.
For data elements the userexit parameter can be defined by a new userexit.
Name e.g. FAVORITE Opens the browser configuration for this entry.
Title e.g. Favorites Title of the subfolder in the tab.
Spec. title e.g. myProjects Own title of respective structure element in the browser.
 

More information regarding the iwf_... userexits can be found in the DataView documentation.

  Open the Browser Configuration Mask for a Structure Entry
 

In the Structure tab when clicking on the link in the Name field, the Browser Configuration mask for the respective entry is opened. This entry is defined in here.

 

In the Structure tab is defined what mask (default mask) should be opened for displaying the contents in the browser.

In the column Spec. title the special title / text for the selections are defined.

Every time a record is stored as favorite or as stored query, a new entry is stored in the respective Browser Configuration window in the Structure tab. Each new stored entry gets the position number 500.
 

Define Maximum Number of Entries of one Object Type

 

In the Form Data mask of the respective userexit parameter it is possible to define a maximum number for the entries of one object type (e.g. number of item entries in the Global tab).
