Data Editor

The Data Editor allows you to manipulate Entities of a specific Entity Type.

Widget properties

• Widget version - Version of the Widget used in this Dashboard. If a new version of this Widget is available and you want to use it, you have to manually update the version here. When a new Widget is added to the Dashboard, automatically the latest version is placed.
• Entity type - Entity Type this Widget interacts with.
• Filter by fixed value (Key: attribute name, value: fixed value) - If no filter is set, all Entities of the selected Entity Type are shown. With a filter, only Entities having Attribute values matching a filter are shown. If multiple filters are configured, only Entities fulfilling all filters are shown.
  • Add - Adds a new filter
  • Key - Attribute name to filter the Entities
  • Value - Value the Attribute needs to have to be shown in the Widget.
    • Multiple values can be specified by combining them with ||, like 1||2||3 or hello||hi.
    • If the Attribute is an array, at least one element in the array needs to match the value configured here so that the Entity is shown.
  • - Deletes the filter
• Entity attributes (Attribute, display name, display order) - Configuration which Attributes of the Entities are shown in the Widget. A new column configuration can be added by pressing Add:
  • First field - Name of the Attributes as specified in the Entity Type
  • Second field - Alias of the Attributes to display as column name in the Widget. Obviously, this can be but need not be the same as the Name of the Attributes.
  • Third column - Positive integer specifying the display position of this column in the Widget.
  • - Deletes the column from the Widget
• Locked columns - Prevents modification of this column
  • Add - Adds a new column lock configuration
  • A column is selected for locking by specifying the name of the underlying Attributes as configured in Columns (name, display name and order).
  • - Deletes a column lock configuration
• Request signature on modification - Enables (Yes) or disables (No) the automatic creation of a signature for the modified Entities. I.e., when enables, all modifications are documented by a signature.
• Disable add entity - Allows (Yes) or disallows (No) the creation of new Entities in this Widget.
• Signature attribute name - Attributes of the Entity Type where the signature is stored. This is only needed when Sign on save is set to Yes.
• Page size - Number of rows displayed in the Widget at once.
• Filter by dashboard parameter (Key: attribute, value: dashboard parameter) - This configuration limits the shown Entities to those where an Attribute of the Entities matches the value of a Dashboard Parameter.
  • Add - Adds a new filter configuration
  • Key - Name of the Attribute to filter the Entities
  • Value - Name of the Dashboard Parameter holding the filter value.
  • - Deletes a filter configuration
