Reference Information: Definition of Commands

The menu functions available in the PI sheet or cockpit refer to the entire document (global commands) or individual components in the document (local commands). The system only displays those menu functions that can actually be carried out when the document or component is called. You can use the XSL style sheet to determine which menu functions should also be available as commands (pushbuttons).

In addition, you can define HTML elements of your choice in the entire document. Cascading style sheets ( _bfw_css_active_ or _bfw_css_inactive_ attribute) are used to synchronize these elements with the status of the command assigned. These elements must support the onclick or onkeypress JavaScript events.

You can use any HTML tags to declare menu functions for the entire document or individual components. Menu functions for a particular component, however, must be defined in the "grouping" tag of the relevant component. This HTML tag must contain the following parts of the component as an attribute. Each attribute must then be assigned certain attribute values.

Attribute	Attribute Value	Explanation
ID (HTML attribute)	_bfw_g_command_ _bfw_l_command_	Valid for the entire document. Can be defined at any position in the document. Valid for a component only. Can be defined within the corresponding component "grouping" tag.
_BFW_CODE_	<command> (see below)	Each command is valid for one or several usages.
Optional
_BFW_CSS_ACTIVE_	Any CSS style	Active, for example, in the change mode
_BFW_CSS_INACTIVE_	Any CSS style	Inactive, for example, in the display mode

You can use the following commands:

Command	Available for	Function
COMMENT_GET	Document, all components	Display comments entered
COMMENT_SET	Document, all components	Enter new comment
DEVIATION_SHOW	Input field with input validation	Display deviations
SIGNATURE_SHOW	Signature field	Display signatures executed
POSITION_SHOW	All components	Display position
MESSAGE_SHOW	All components	Display messages
ADD_LINE	Table	Add line
EDIT	Document	Switch to change mode
SHOW	Document	Switch to display mode
REPORT	Document	Report data
SAVE	Document	Save
DISCARD	Document	Cancel or discard
PRINT	Document	Print document

Example Example

Definition of a global command in the HTML document that is created by the XSL style sheet:

<INPUT ID="_bfw_g_command_" TYPE=...

_BFW_CODE_="SAVE"

_BFW_CSS_ACTIVE_="myStyle1"

_BFW_CSS_INACTIVE_="myStyle2"></INPUT>

Definition of a local command in the HTML document that is created by the XSL style sheet:

...

<INPUT ID="_bfw_g_command_" TYPE=...

_BFW_CODE_="COMMENT_SET"

_BFW_CSS_ACTIVE_="myStyle1"

_BFW_CSS_INACTIVE_="myStyle2"></INPUT> ...

</SPAN>

End of the example.
