Classification Assignment 

Use

You can use the Classification Assignment component to add classification values to an object’s instance. It is a UI component configuration that can be embedded in any composite application such as the Object Editor. You can configure the Classification Assignment at implementation time to display classification taxonomies assigned to an object.

Prerequisites

The classification component may be embedded into an object as a component interface implementation, however the object has to transfer certain parameters to the generated user interface. These parameters are:

●     Parameter1

This parameter is used to transfer the value of the object identification (ObjectID) to the classification component.

●     Configuration name

The name is derived from the application in which it was embedded. The system sets this parameter at the same time of transfer of parameter1.

Features

The Classification Assignment consists of the following parts:

●     Classification Assignment Configurator

●     Classification Assignment UI

Classification Assignment Configurator

You can use the Classification Assignment Configurator to configure and adapt the user interface of classifications related to an object. Configuration of the Classification Assignment pattern includes defining the Service Module as well as naming the configuration itself (located at the bottom of the screen layout).

The configurator can be divided into the sections for Object-related Entries and Object Instance-related Entries. For successful generation of the configuration layout, the parameters listed in the following tables must be defined:

 

Object-related Entries	Description
Query for Taxonomy	The ESF term used for searching for specific classification attributes of an object.
Input parameter name for Object whose taxonomy is to be seen	You indicated which selected object attribute type for display in the user interface is to be chosen from an additional list
Aspect Field for Taxonomy	The aspect field is the object view used for choosing the object classification or taxonomy.
Related Aspect for Result Aspect used for category values	Is the related view for selecting the type of value from a classification.
Aspect Field for Category	The object view used for selecting the type of value or category describing an object

 

Object Instance Related Entries	Description
Query for classification	The ESF term used for searching for specific classification attributes of an object’s instance.
Input parameter name for Object whose instances is used	You identify the instance attribute type for use in the user interface that is selected from an additional list.
Input parameter value for Object whose instance is used	Points to the string of application parameters appended to the WebDynpro application.
Input parameter name for Object ID	You define the attribute type for object identification that is selected from an additional list.
Aspect Field for Taxonomy	The object view used for choosing the object instance classification or taxonomy.
Aspect Field for Category	The object view used for selecting the type of value or category describing an object instance.

 

Classification Assignment UI

The generated Classification Assignment UI contains information resulting from the query on the aspect field for taxonomy. It lists the parameters for Object and ObjectID.

Additionally, by choosing Edit, the Edit Classification windows opens, thereby allowing for classification selections depending on category and taxonomy choices. Instances can be removed by selecting the symbol appearing in the Remove column.
