Modify Existing Product Applets to Display NREC Attributes
After the fields are added to the business component, you can display them in the user interface. Assume that NREC's design team has determined that configuring the following two applets would be easier than creating new ones.
- Product List Applet
- Product Form Applet
These applets are already based on the Internal Product business component and meet NREC's needs reasonably well.
The following procedures cover exposing fields in the user interface at a more abstract level than was covered in the previous chapter. For detailed procedures, see Exposing Fields in the User Interface.
Configuring the Product List Applet
The following procedure covers configuring the Product List Applet.
To expose fields in the Product List Applet
- Navigate to the Product List Applet.
- Lock the project locally by choosing Tools >Lock Project, and then change the value of the Project property from Product (SSE) to NREC Configuration.
- Add List Column objects for each of the new fields.
Note that the object hierarchy is Applet > List >List Column.
NOTE: The Show In List property determines whether the field will be displayed by default in the list applet. Fields with a Show In List property set to FALSE will appear gray in the Web Template layout editor. These fields will be hidden by default in the user interface. However, users can add them to the display by choosing Columns Displayed from the applet-level menu.
- Change the display name of existing list columns:
- Change the display name of the Part # list column to House ID.
- Change the display name of the Name list column to Summary.
- Select the Product List Applet record and right-click to open the Web Layout Editor.
- In the Web Layout Editor, delete the unnecessary columns and add the new columns to the Web template for the Base mode of the applet.
- For example, delete the following: Orderable, Service Product, Lead Time, Compensable, Unit of Measure, Product Line, Serialized, Class, Equivalent Product, Product Line, Serialized, and Revision.
- Add the fields that you defined in Step 3, including the fields that will be hidden by default.
- In the Web Layout Editor, delete the unnecessary columns and add the new columns to the Web Template for the Query and Edit mode of the applet.
- Delete Vendor and Class.
- Add the fields that you defined in Step 3, including the fields that will be hidden by default.
NOTE: You can switch applet modes using the Mode drop-down list on the Configuration Context Toolbar.
Configuring the Product Form Applet
The following procedure covers configuring the Product Form Applet.
To configure the Product Form Applet
- Navigate to the Product Form Applet.
- Lock the project locally by choosing Tools >Lock Project, and then change the value of the Project property from Product (SSE) to NREC Configuration.
- Add Control objects (child of Applet) for each of the new fields.
- Modify the caption property of the existing controls:
- Change the caption of the Part # control to House ID.
- Change the caption of the Name control to Summary.
- Select the Product Form Applet record, and then right-click and choose Edit Web Layout.
- In the Web Layout Editor delete the unnecessary controls and add map the new controls for each applet mode.
Use Figure 16 to determine what controls to add and delete.
- In the Web Layout Editor, map the NewRecord and EditRecord controls to the appropriate place holders in the applet banner for each applet mode.
The NewRecord and EditRecord controls are not mapped to the web templates for the standard Product Form Applet. Mapping them to the applet will allow users to create and edit records.
