Hierarchical List Component Editor for Floorplan Manager

You use the hierarchical list component editor to configure hierarchical list components (see Hierarchical List Component ). Using the hierarchical list component editor, you can adjust a hierarchical list within an application to your specific business requirements.

Most attributes for a hierarchical list are defined in the feeder class assigned to the configuration of a hierarchical list component. However, you may change some of these attributes in the hierarchical list component editor. Changes that you make in the component editor take precedence over attributes defined in the feeder class.

The hierarchical list component editor consists of the following work areas:

• Preview

  The preview displays the hierarchical list component in the current configuration, providing you with a picture of the layout of the hierarchical list.

• Hierarchy

  All hierarchical list component elements (for example, columns or toolbars) are displayed in the Hierarchy as a tree structure.

• Attribute view

  Attributes of the currently selected list element in the Hierarchy , which can be changed using the hierarchical list component editor, are displayed in the attribute view.

The hierarchical list component editor is similar to the list component editor and contains several element attributes or buttons that are not discussed here. For more information about these element attributes and buttons, see List Component Editor for Floorplan Manager .

The hierarchical list component editor provides you with the following actions:

• Edit Feeder Class

• Edit Parameters

• Configure Toolbar

• Configure Columns

  This button provides you with the following functions:

  • Add a Column

    You can select a column from a list of available columns and determine the column header and the column display type (input field, checkbox for example).

    The list of available columns is defined in the field catalog of the feeder class assigned to the configuration of the hierarchical list component.

  • Remove a Column

  • Change the Column Sequence

  Configure Columns , together with the attributes of the individual column elements in the Hierarchy , provides you with ample opportunity for customizing the non-master columns.

The hierarchical list component editor also provides you with a toolbar, allowing you to add the following toolbar elements:

• Expand All Nodes and Collapse All Nodes buttons

  Select the Default Button Set is Included checkbox in the attributes section of the Tree element in the Hierarchy to add these buttons. You might, on occasion, want to hide these buttons; a very large list could cause performance problems when these two buttons are chosen by the user at runtime.

• Other toolbar elements

  Choose Configure Toolbar to add various other toolbar elements (for example, separators, toggle buttons, and dropdown listboxes) to the toolbar.

Additional element attributes from the hierarchical list component editor, which you can edit, include:

• Column Header and Tooltip for the MasterColumn element

  You can include your own master column header and tooltip and override text defined by the feeder class.

• Default Button Set is Included

  For information on this, see above.

You can enable the Drag-and-Drop feature in the hierarchical list component. For more information, see Drag-and-Drop .

The hierarchical list component editor launches in a separate browser window. You can launch the hierarchical list component editor in change or display mode and save your changes at any time.

The hierarchical list component editor launches from the configuration editor for Floorplan Manager automatically when you launch the configuration of an application-specific view (UIBB) that uses the FPM_TREE_UIBB Web Dynpro component (see Configuration Editor for Floorplan Manager ).
