Properties
Property
Description/Usage
Valid Values/Examples

Category (O)

A value that groups views in a screen with the same Category value into the same view bar category.

Categories appear hierarchically in the view bar.

 

Category Default View (O)

Defines the default view for this Screen View record of Type Aggregate Category or Detail Category. If this is not defined, SWE uses the first available view for the Category or the Default View defined for the screen.

Valid values are only those Views where the Parent Category is the same as this Category.

Category Name (O) (R) (see description)

The name that describes the Category that is used to group similar views on a screen. This is required for Screen View records where the Type is Aggregate Category or Detail Category.

 

Client Restriction (O)

Specifies the availability of the view to different client platforms.

Example: Handheld client.

Display In Page (O)

When checked, this Screen View record is available in the runtime client on the relevant screen. This should always be checked for Screen View records where Type is Aggregate Category or Detail Category.

 

Display In Site Map (O)

When checked, this Screen View record is available on the Site Map in the runtime client.

 

Menu Text (O)

The text displayed in the Site Map for this particular View or Category.

 

Object Manager Restriction (O)

The availability of the view when using different object managers.

The view might be automatically suppressed under UNIX due to the UNIX Support property of the applet or business component classes in use, rendering the NT Only setting unnecessary.

Valid values:

  • NT Only — This view in this screen is available when the object manager is running in Windows-based server environments, but not when running in UNIX.
  • NULL — This view in this screen is available in all object manager environments.

Parent Category (O) (R) (see Description)

Defines how a view is associated to or grouped within a category or how a detail category is associated to an aggregate category. This is required for Screen View records where Type is Detail View or Detail Category. This is optional for records of Type Aggregate View. This must be left blank for records of Type Aggregate Category.

 

Sequence (O)

The order that the view appears in the submenu for the screen.

You can sequence the views displayed on the view bar, but not the categories (grouped views). Categories always appear last in the list.

Integer value.

Status Text (O)

Not used.

Not applicable.

Type (R)

Defines the type of screen view. Screen views are either actual views or are groupings of views or categories. The Type (in addition to the Parent Category property and applet visibility rules if relevant) generally defines where the view or category is displayed at runtime.

Aggregate Category, Aggregate View, Detail Category, and Detail View.

View (R)

The view that is being included in the screen.

Example: Account Detail - Contacts View.

Viewbar Text (O)

Text that appears on a view tab, a drop-down list, or link for a View or Category.

 

Category Menu Text and Category Viewbar Text

For example, Account Detail-A View, Account Detail-B View, and Account Detail-C View all belong to the Category Detail. You want to show A, B, and C in the Site Map, but only A and B in the view bar. The attributes can be as follows:
