Screen layout - Region properties - General tab
Click the View properties icon in the header of the region of the screen layout to display the Properties panel for that region.
Field | Description | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Section | Specify the section that you want to use. You can specify an existing section or type a new section name and click the Open icon to create or open the section. | ||||||
Standard Parameters | If standard parameters are:
Alternatively, you can select the Pass current parameter page to pass the current parameter page to the section. | ||||||
Visibility | Select one of the following to control when the region is visible:
| ||||||
Run visibility condition on client? | Appears when you select Conditional Visibility and enter a simple expression in the field that displays. Select the Run visibility condition on client check box to cause dynamic execution of the condition each time the value of a property stated in the condition changes. This cannot be used if the expression is combined with a when condition rule. Conditions are automatically re-evaluated when the user updates a property value. By default, controls that allow typing, such as Text Input, are evaluated when the user leaves the field. To re-evaluate conditions as the user types, use the Apply Conditions action with a Keyboard event. | ||||||
Title | Optional. Type text to display in the header or subheader. This text may
include directives or JSP tags, such as <p:r > or <pega:lookup >. If you plan to localize the application, choose the text carefully and limit the length to no more than 64 characters. A field value rule with this text as the final key part is needed for each locale. See Internationalization and localization. | ||||||
Page context | Select or confirm the page context for the section:
| ||||||
Refresh condition | Optional. Enter a simple expression based on the comparison of a pair of
constants, properties, or both, combined by Boolean operators. Click the
Gear icon to open the Condition Builder. Click the Open icon to review or
create a new rule. As a best practice, use the Condition Builder to edit expressions, or to trigger a refresh based on a property change or the addition or deletion of a row or column in a repeating layout. The editor also enables you to specify a pre-activity or data transform. See Using the Condition Builder to configure dynamic form actions. | ||||||
Associated privileges | Select this check box to enable only users with specific privileges to view or update the section. | ||||||
View privilege | Optional. To restrict the presentation of this section (in read-only mode) to those users who hold a specific privilege, select the Privilege Name key part of a privilege rule. Click the Open icon to review or create the privilege rule. | ||||||
Update privilege | Optional. To restrict the presentation of this section (in read-write mode) to
those users who hold a specific privilege, select the Privilege Name key part of a
privilege rule. Click the Open icon to review or create the
privilege rule. If a user holds the privilege in the View Privilege field but does not hold the privilege identified in this field, the section appears in read-only format. In this case, default values for fields are not shown. | ||||||
Display header and title | Enter text to appear in the header or subheader. This text may include
directives or JSP tags, such as <p:r > or <pega:lookup >. If you plan to localize the application, choose the text carefully and limit the length to no more than 64 characters. A field value rule with this text as the final key part is needed for each locale. See Internationalization and localization. | ||||||
Defer load contents | Optional. Choose this option to delay loading at runtime of the section
content until the user clicks the header. Deferring enables users to start using
other parts of the page rather than waiting for this section to load. To enable users to take actions, such as submit, on a work item while other content is still being loaded, configure sections to use defer loaded asynchronous declare pages. See Pega Community How to configure non-blocking UI using Asynchronous Declare Pages (ADP). | ||||||
Specify a pre-loading activity | Displays when you select the Defer load contents check box. Select to run an activity prior to loading the section. Press the down arrow in the Activity field and select the activity that you want to run. Click the Open icon to review or create the activity rule. | ||||||
Run Data Transform | Displays when you specify a Refresh condition . Select to run a data transform prior to refreshing the section. Press the down arrow in the field that displays and select the data transform. | ||||||
Run Activity | Displays when you specify a Refresh condition. Select to run an activity prior to refreshing the section. Press the down arrow in the field that displays and select the activity that you want to run. | ||||||
Associated privileges | Select this check box to enable only users with specific privileges to view or update the section. | ||||||
View Privilege | Optional. To restrict the presentation of this section (in read-only mode) to those users who hold a specific privilege, select the Privilege Name key part of a privilege rule. Click the Open icon to review or create the privilege rule. | ||||||
Update Privilege | Optional. To restrict the presentation of this section (in read-write mode) to
those users who hold a specific privilege, select the Privilege Name key part of a
privilege rule. Click the Open icon to review or create the
privilege rule. If a user holds the privilege in the View Privilege field but does not hold the privilege identified in this field, the section appears in read-only format. In this case, default values for fields are not shown. | ||||||
Container Settings | Displays if you selected the Include header checkkox. | ||||||
Title | Optional. Type text to display in the header or subheader. This text may
include directives or JSP tags, such as <p:r > or <pega:lookup >. When you plan to localize the application using this rule, choose the text carefully and limit the length to no more than 64 characters. When practical, choose a caption already included in a language pack, to simplify later localization. A field value rule with this text as the final key part is needed for each locale. | ||||||
Include icon with title | Select if you want to include an icon in the title bar. | ||||||
Icon | Optional. Click the Show Image Viewer icon to open the Image Library landing page and select an image to include on the left side of the header. | ||||||
Icon title | If you want to display a tooltip when the user hovers the mouse pointer over the icon, type a text string within quotations, for example, "Select to view list". | ||||||
Header type | Select one of the following header styles. This field does not appear if the
Format value is No Format , Hidden, Hidden Sub, Custom , or Outline .
|
This field does not appear in container and harness panels.
