Harness and Section forms - Adding formatted text

Field

Description

Press the down arrow to select a property.

If the set of possible values is provided by a property using the Table Type field , specify a Single Value mode property that has a Table Type other than None.

For Single Value properties in the Applies to class (or higher) of the current rule, you can drag a property name into the cell from the list of properties visible in the Application Explorer. If the container that holds this field has a non-blank Using Page value, you can drag a Single Value property from within that embedded page property.

Click() to review the property (if the reference is to an existing property in the Applies To class of this rule or a parent of that class). If the property is not found, the New dialog box for the property form appears.

You can reference properties on any page identified on the Pages & Classes tab, using the normal notation pagename.propertyname for pages other than the page corresponding to the Applies To class of the rule.

If this field is in a cell of a section that includes parameter declarations on the Parameters tab, you can enter the notation param.NAME here, to use a parameter value for the field, where NAME identifies a string parameter. Make sure that the NAME parameter is declared on the Parameters tab, and that your application provides a non-blank value for the parameter value in all possible situations where the section appears. See Sections — Completing the Parameter tab.

Optional. Enter a constant value for the property value, a property reference, or an expression, to be used only when the user form or flow action form appears in read-write mode rather than read-only mode.

Choose a default value that speeds data entry. When the system renders a harness or section in read-only mode (for example because the read-write mode requires a privilege that the current user does not hold), the default value does not appear, because data entry is not permitted.

Select to display one of the following:

• Constant— displays the value that you specify. In the field that displays, type that constant.
• Display text of selected option— displays the description
• Property value— displays the value of the selected property
• Another property's value— displays the value of the property that you specify. In the field that displays, select the property for which you want to display the value.

To control the visibility of the label, select one of the following:

• Always: always visible
• Condition (expression): the region is visible under the specified condition. In the field that displays, select a condition or click to open the Condition Builder. You can define a simple expression based on the comparison of a pair of constants, properties, or both, combined by Boolean operators, such as .Color="Red". You can combine the expression with a when condition rule or another expression using the && and || operators.
• Condition (when): the region is visible under the specified condition. In the field that displays, select a when rule. Click to create a new when condition or review an existing when condition.

If this section is to become part of navigation in a composite portal, you can make the header visible only when a specific space is the current space. Enter an expression here similar to the following:

pyCurrentSpace=="ASpaceName"

Field

Description

Specifies the skin format for this control. You can style fomatted text in the skin.

Appears only when you select the Display advanced presentation options checkbox.

The best practice is to define custom styles in the skin. .

• Cell width— Type a positive number to indicate the pixel width of this cell. At runtime, normal browser processing for rendering tables determines the actual displayed width.
• Cell height— Type the desired cell height in pixels.
• Cell read-write style — Type the name of the custom style, for example, custom_stylename, that you want to apply to this cell when the user form or flow action form appears in read-write mode.
• Cell read-only style — Type the name of the custom style, for example, custom_stylename, that you want to apply to this cell when the user form or flow action form appears in read-only mode.
• Cell inline style — Type CSS code to define an inline style. As a best practice, define custom styles in the skin. See Skin form — Components tab — General — Custom styles.

Select a format (read-only) used with this property. Your selection filters the format options.

Do not confuse format types with property types.
