Browser Control

Use

This control displays a single-line input field with input help.

Type of Input Help

You can use the Action property to set the types of input help shown in the table below.

Available Types of Input Help

Action	Description
Object	Selection of any object from a KM repository. For example, you can use this type of input help to select a document from a KM repository and set a See Also link for it on a Show form.
Object with Entry Points	As for Object, but authors can navigate to different KM repositories using their entry points.
Date	Selection of a date from a calendar.
Thumbnail	Selection of an image from a KM repository with thumbnails.
Thumbnail with Entry Points	As for Thumbnail, but authors can navigate to different KM repositories using their entry points.
User	Selection of a user from SAP Enterprise Portal user management.

Priorities for Defining the Start Folder

For the Object and Thumbnail actions, you can define the start folder in the places described below. Each level overrides all previous levels.

XML forms default path

You define this path in the system configuration ( Content Management Form-Based Publishing Form-Based Publishing XML Forms Default Path ). If you make no other settings, the system uses this default path.

Note
You can reference this path in the XML Forms Builder using the alias %xmlformsroot% .
Root path for the project

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

Note
You can reference this path using the alias %projectroot% .
iView properties

You can use the Project Path iView property to define a start folder for the iView in question. This setting overrides the root path for the project.
Browser control

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

Note
For complex applications:

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

For example, you can specify the following paths in the iView properties of two iViews:
- iView 1: %projectroot%/subfolder1
- iView 2: %projectroot%/subfolder2
  
  The system then reads the first part of the path from the relevant project options. Each iView uses a different subfolder.

Pushbutton Type

You can use the Pushbutton Type property to display pushbuttons for calling the types of input help shown in the table below.

Available Pushbutton Types

Pushbutton Type	Description
Pushbutton	Default pushbutton with text. You can define the text that is displayed on the button ( Caption property).
Image	If you want to use your own pushbutton that you saved in an image file instead of the default pushbutton, choose this option. In the Pushbutton Image property, specify the path to the image that you want to display instead of the default pushbutton. If you saved your pushbutton image in a KM folder, you can select it in the Pushbutton Image field using input help. The system adds the alias `%contentaccess%` in the input field. This alias is used to complete the image URL at display time.
