You can add an additional, application-specific view to a Floorplan Manager application at any time in the form of a new tabbed component.

Prerequisites

The tabbed component configuration exists already.

Procedure

  1. Run the application you want to edit and choose the Customize Page button on the main toolbar.

  2. If there is no previous Customizing for the component, you must create one. Choose New on the toolbar. Enter a description and a transport request for the new Customizing and choose OK.

    The FPM configuration editor, FLUID, is displayed in edit mode.

  3. Choose the Navigation, Attributes and Repositories buttons on the toolbar to display the corresponding panels.

  4. You can add a list component in the following ways:

    • Drag a component from the Repositories panel into the <Floorplan Type >Schema panel

      1. Under the UIBBs section of the Repositories panel, use the filter fields to locate your existing tabbed component configuration. For example, choose Tabbed UIBB in the UIBB Type field.

        A list of existing configurations for the tabbed component appears.

      2. Drag the required configuration into the <Floorplan Type> Schema panel. Use the Up and Down buttons on the toolbar to move the configuration into the required location.

        A new row appears in the <Floorplan Type> Schema panel table indicating the UIBB you have just added.

    • Drag a component from the Repositories panel into the Preview panel

      1. Under the UIBBs section of the Repositories panel, use the filter fields to locate your existing tabbed component configuration. For example, choose Tabbed UIBB in the UIBB Type field.

        A list of existing configurations for the tabbed component appears.

      2. Drag the required configuration into the Preview panel. Once inside the panel, you can drag the configuration into its exact location.

        A new row appears in the <Floorplan Type> Schema table indicating the UIBB you have just added.

    • Choose the Add UIBB button in the <FloorplanType> Schema panel

      1. In the <Floorplan Type> Schema panel, select a row in the table in which you want to add the new UIBB.

        To do this, choose the Expand Node icons to open up the floorplan elements in the table, such as a Section (in the OVP floorplan instance), a Main View or Subview (in the OIF instance) or Main Step or Substep (in the GAF floorplan instance).

      2. Choose the Add UIBB button in the toolbar and choose the Tabbed UIBB option.

        A new row appears in the <Floorplan Type> Schema panel for the UIBB you have just added.

  5. Specify the UIBB as a tabbed component by entering the following values in the Attributes panel:

    • In the Component field, enter FPM_TABBED_UIBB.

    • In the Window Name field, enter TABBED_WINDOW.

    • In the Configuration Name field, enter a name for the tabbed component configuration.

    Note Note

    Although the Configuration Name field is not marked as a required entry, we recommend that you enter a name here to activate the Configure UIBB button.
