Related subfolder of the training project: "Training/UIM/Exercise/Basic"
 
 

Chapter Overview

 
In this training chapter you get familiar with the configuration possibilities of the UI Element DateTimeField.
 
 
 
TAB "Element Properties"
 
The TAB "Element Properties" contains the configuration for
 
  • UI element value horizontal alignment (left, center, right)
  • UI element width configuration (percentage, pixel)
  • UI element height configuration (pixel)
  • UI container horizontal alignment (left, center, right)
  • Show internal label (checked, unchecked)
     
 
 
 
 
 
TAB "Data Mapping"
 
The TAB "Data Mapping" contains the attribute type related mapping of the UI element
 
  • date&time format
  • date format
  • time format
 
 
 
 
 
 
TAB "Data Validation"
 
The TAB "Data Validation" contains the attribute type related validation, default value and mandatory specification of the UI element based on the BO attribute configuration in SubTAB "Values and Validation".
 
  • date out of range
  • date value
  • date range
  • date mandatory
     
     
     
     
     
     
    TAB "Events"
     
    The TAB "Events" contains the events and related "Action" and "Validation" scripts of the UI element.
     
  • onClick
  • onDoubleClick
  • onBlur
  • onChange
     
    For each UI element the related event action is displayed at the right side of the UI element. In case of a validation error a default error message is displayed at the top right of the UI page and the action script is not executed.
     
     
     
     
     
     
    TAB "Visibility"
     
    The TAB "Visibility" contains the visibility configuration and the "Visibility" scripts of the UI element.
     
  • editable/readonly
  • visible/invisible
  • mandatory
     
    For each UI element the visibility can be changed by the checkbox "Visibility Toggle".
