Displaying Properties
You can define which properties are to be displayed for a resource (folder, file, or link) or collection (content of a folder, search result list) in the configuration of the user interface.
The following two parameters are available for this purpose in the configuration.
| Parameter | Specified in | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
Visible Properties |
Specifies properties to be displayed for individual resources |
|
|
Displayed Properties |
Specifies properties to be displayed for a collection (usually in columns) |
Use the following syntax for the parameter specifications:
< Namespace Alias>:<Property ID> (Modifier1/Modifier2/...)
If it is a parameter in the standard namespace, you do not need to specify a namespace alias.
If you want to display several properties in the same table cell, use the plus sign (+) to separate them.
Exception: With the Collection List Renderer, properties of the type text are always displayed beneath one another, even if you have separated the specifications with the plus sign.
If you separate the properties with commas, they are treated as follows:
- For the parameter Displayed Properties, they are displayed next to one another in a new column
and
- For the parameter visible Properties, they are displayed beneath one another in a new cell
You can use an additional modifier to specify the exact table cell.
If you are using a collection grid renderer in a layout set, specify the properties to be displayed only in the resource renderer setting. The properties are then displayed beneath one another in a cell.
Overview of Modifiers
| Modifier | Description |
|---|---|
|
contentLink |
The displayed property contains a link to the corresponding resource. |
|
noTitle |
The name of the property is not displayed in the column header. |
|
useTitleasLabel |
Displays the name of the property followed by a colon and then its value (for example, Size: 23 KB) This modifier is only needed for the flavor grid. |
|
primaryTextStyle |
The value of the property is displayed in the style of the primary text. |
|
secondaryTextStyle |
The value of the property is displayed in the style of the secondary text. |
|
noColumnSpacing |
No spacing is used between columns. |
|
alignLeft |
The property is displayed with left-alignment. |
|
alignRight |
The property is displayed with right-alignment. |
|
alignCenter |
The property is displayed with center-alignment. |
|
alignTop |
The property is displayed with top-alignment. |
|
alignBaseline |
The property is displayed aligned with the baseline. |
|
alignBottom |
The property is displayed with bottom-alignment. |
|
alignMiddle |
The property is displayed with middle-alignment. |
|
space-left=<numerical value> |
Integer specifying the indentation from the left. For example, space-left=10 |
|
space-right=<numerical value> |
Integer specifying the indentation from the right. |
|
space-top=<numerical value> |
Integer specifying the indentation from the top. |
|
space-bottom=<numerical value> |
Integer specifying the indentation from the bottom. |
|
[<Row>:<column] or [<Row>:<column>-<column>] |
Properties are displayed on the user interface in invisible tables. This specifies the row and column in which the property is displayed. By default, all properties are displayed in the first cell of the table. You can combine multiple columns into one cell. For example, rnd:documentabstract([2;2-9]). The above specification would result in the document abstract being displayed in the second row of the table in the columns 2 to 9. |
|
width=<numerical value> |
Integer specifying the width (only valid for the rnd:thumbnail property). |
|
height=<numerical value> |
Integer specifying the height (only valid for the rnd:thumbnail property). |
|
noicon |
If the system cannot generate a thumbnail, it displays a transparent graphic (only valid for the rnd:thumbnail property). |
|
debug |
The system generates a new thumbnail each time that an item is accessed, it does not use cached thumbnails (only valid for the rnd:thumbnail property). |
|
noWrapping |
The value of the rnd:displayname property is displayed without a line break. |
|
onlyLabel |
The system displays only the name of the property. |
|
maxChars |
Maximum number of characters used to display the value of a property of type String. |
|
string |
You can use the rnd:string property to output character strings. You use this modifier to specify the character string. (only valid for the rnd:string property) Example: rnd:displayname(noWrapping/alignLeft/maxChars=14)+ rnd:string(string=Hello World) |
|
useLinkData |
If the resource is a link, the system displays the link target. |
To specify multiple modifiers, separate your entries using a forward slash (/).
The system can also pull modifiers from the Additional Metadata parameter. You can specify this parameter in the configuration of predefined properties.
rnd:command Property
The rnd:command property is used to display a command or command group in a particular style. The command or command group and the style are defined using modifiers.
Modifiers that are valid only for the rnd:command property

|
command |
Specifies a command or a command group. |
|
style |
Defines the style of the command group. hover: You display the command by clicking the popup menu symbol. link: The command appears as a function link. If you have specified a command group, a link and the popup menu symbol appear. You can use the expanded modifier to display the entire command group. menu: The command is displayed in a menu bar. toolbar button: The command is displayed in a symbol bar. button: The commands are displayed as a group of pushbuttons. small button: As for button, but the commands are displayed with a smaller font. icon: The command appears as an icon. |

To determine the properties that are to be displayed for a resource, enter the required properties and modifiers into a resource renderer setting in the Visible Properties parameter.
To determine the properties that are to be displayed for a collection, enter the required properties and modifiers into a collection renderer setting in the Displayed Properties parameter.
Displaying Resources
You want the symbol for a file, its name (which is also a link to the resource) and the popup menu with commands to be displayed next to one another. The description of the resource should also be displayed.
|
Name_of_file.txt |
|
File description |
The following table explains which entries are valid for which rows (properties are displayed in bold).
|
rnd:icon+rnd:displayname(contentlink)+rnd:action, |
|
rnd:description |
Enter the following character string (without spaces) into the input field for the Visible Properties parameter in the configuration of a resource renderer setting.

Search Result Layout
The entries in the search result list should be structured as follows:
|

|
Rating |
Last changed by file size last changed at HTML version |
|
|
