Choose properties to be displayed while adding structure elements

A user can create or update a structure on the Content tab in Active Workspace by adding new or existing structure elements to it. By default, while adding an element to a structure, users can specify Quantity in the ELEMENT PROPERTIES section. Depending on your site requirements, you can include additional element properties to be displayed on the Add panel in Active Workspace.

Procedure

1. In BMIDE, locate the PSOccurrence business object.
2. In the Operation Descriptor > CreateInput tab, click Add.
3. In the New Operation Input Property dialog box:
   1. Select Add a Property from Business Object and click Next.
   2. Browse and add the required property in Source Property, for example, ref_designator.
   3. Click Finish.
   4. Similarly, add other properties that you want to display in the ELEMENT PROPERTIES section.
4. Update the Awb0PSOccurrenceCreate.xml style sheet to include these properties.

   1. Navigate to TC_ROOT\install\activeworkspacebom\data and open the Awb0PSOccurrenceCreate.xml file.

   2. Add the newly added properties. For example, to add the ref_designator field:

      <rendering>
        <page>
          <view>
            <property name="qty_value" />
            <property name="ref_designator" />
          </view>
        </page>
      </rendering>
      

Results

The element properties that you add are available for all business objects of type Item by default. If you do not want the properties to be available for certain business objects, add those objects as Values in the AWBItemTypesToHideOccurrenceCreatePanel preference.

By default, the ELEMENT PROPERTIES section is displayed in the New tab of the Add panel for the Item and Part business objects only. If you want this section to be displayed for other custom objects, you must update the create style sheet of those objects and append the following section:

<section>
  <inject type="dataset" src="Awb0ElementCreate"/>
</section>
