Description of options

Selection whether Portlets should be organized in 1, 2 or 3 columns.
NOTE: While the actual decision regarding the number of columns is made in TIS Board, setting the number of Portlet-columns in the Portlet Designer helps in properly formatting the Portlet.

Close
Open 

Allows for closing and opening properties' sections in the Portlet Designer.

  • "Change data source" allows changes regarding the referenced project
  • "Change events" allows modifying events attached to the Portlet
  • Portlet name
  • Information about the Portlet type, key and source
  • Description & Footer – user defined text regarding the Portlet. Visibility may be omitted.
  • Information about the referenced project and node / or table

  • Refresh time for updating in seconds:
    • 0 … no automatic update
    • 300 … update every 300 seconds(if the referenced node is dirty it will recalculate)
  • Number of rows per page (only works with tables)
  • Height of the Portlet in pixel.
    NOTE Short Refresh time(s) cause a lot of update processes and should be used seldom.

Paging

Paging is not supported for portlet types:

  • Controller
  • EJSChart
  • EditableEJSChart
  • Html
  • Stimulsoft
  • FileUpload

Setting how changes of the column width should be treated.
Reasons for changes of the column width:

  • Different screen sizes (e.g. working with a projector)
  • Changing the number of columns to be used
  • Change of width of one column

    MODES:
  • ABSOLUTE: a change of screen size or of the width of another column does not influence the width of other columns.
  • RELATIVE: changes of one column or screen size change the width of all others as 100% of the available space is used in the Portlet.

Formatting Columns

The corresponding column has to be selected either by selecting the column in the Portlet or with the column selection within the column properties section of the Portlet Designer.

Select the column you want to edit with the selection dialog:

Formatting options:

  • Formatting with the format painter (allows for reusing formats)
  • Caption
  • Formatting of numbers
  • Alignment & Text format
  • Width (Note: internally initialized with -1, which indicates "not defined". Once an explicit value is set, it will be persisted, even if the column is currently not visible/available)
  • Colors
  • Visibility of the column
  • Multiline text in the field
