Type of Input Help

You can use the property Action to create the following types of input help:

Input Help Types

Action	Description
Object	Select any object from a KM repository. You can use this type of input help to select a document from a KM repository in order to set a See Also link for it on a Show form.
Object with Entry Points	Like Object but authors can navigate to various KM repositories using their entry points.
Date	Selection of a date from a calendar.
Thumbnail	Selection of an image from a KM repository using a thumbnail.
Thumbnail with Entry Points	Like Thumbnail but authors can navigate to various KM repositories using their entry points.
User	Selection of a user from the user management of SAP Enterprise Portal.

 

Priority When Defining Start Folders

For the actions Object and Thumbnail you can set the folder to be opened. You can set the start folder in the following places. Each level overrides all previous levels.

...

       1.      XML forms default path

This path is defined in the system configuration (Content Management ® Form-Based Publishing ® Form-Based Publishing ® XML Forms Default Path). This is the default if you make no other settings (see Form-Based Publishing)

You can reference this path in the XML Forms Builder using the alias %xmlformsroot%.  

 

       2.      Root path for the project

You define this path in the XML Forms Builder (Options ® Paths ® Root Path for Project). This overrides the XML forms default path and is valid for the current project.

You can reference this path with the alias %projectroot% .

 

       3.      iView properties

You can specify a start folder for the iView in question in the iView property Project Path. This setting overrides the root path for the project.

 

       4.      Browser Control

You can define a start folder for individual browser controls in the control property Start In. This setting overrides all other settings.

 

For complex applications:

You can also specify a subfolder of %projectroot% dynamically in the iView properties and in browser controls.

For example, you can enter the following paths in the iView properties of two iViews.

§         iView 1: %projectroot%/subfolder1

§         iView 2: %projectroot%/subfolder2

The system reads the first part of the path from the relevant project options, and which subfolder is opened depends on the iView.

 

Pushbutton Type

You can use the property Pushbutton Type to display the pushbutton for calling up input help. There are the following types.

Pushbutton Types

Pushbutton Type	Description
Pushbutton	Standard pushbutton with text. You can define the text that is displayed on the button (Caption property).
Image	Choose this options if you want to use your own pushbutton that you have stored in an image file rather than the standard pushbutton. In the property Pushbutton Image, enter the path to the image that you want to display instead of the standard pushbutton. If you have stored your pushbutton image in a KM folder you can use input help to select it in the field Pushbutton Image. The system adds the alias %contentaccess% in the input field. This serves to complete the image URL at display time.
