You can avoid the need to apply the same changes to multiple components, one by one, after you add them to your pages. Within RAD, you can set the default preferences of the ItemsGrid
and Logon
components, before you add them to your application. By changing the default preferences, all new ItemsGrid
or Logon
components added to Faces JSP pages will reflect the new settings. This change can save time when you build applications.
For details, see ItemsGrid preferences and Logon preferences.
Note: To revert back to the original settings, click Restore Defaults.
The next sections explain in detail the preferences for each component.
The ItemsGrid preferences panel allows you to set the fields of the EnterpriseItems
bean that is bound to the ItemsGrid
component. These fields will appear as separate columns in the grid. For example, by default, SI_DESCRIPTION, SI_NAME, and SI_PROGID are shown, which would create a grid with three columns: one for each field of the item.
To remove one of the fields, clear the box next to the field and click Apply. Additional custom fields can also be added to the default ItemsGrid
component, to create more columns when you add a new component to a page. To add a custom field, click Add Custom and enter the appropriate field name as the description.
Note: The preferences only determine what field columns are created by default when you first add a new ItemsGrid
component to a page. Fields can still be added or removed during design time after this point.
For a list of fields that can be added, see the EnterpriseItem bean.
The Logon preferences panel allows you to set the default values of the four main properties of a new Identity
bean that is bound to a new Logon
component:
The name of the Central Management System (CMS) that maintains a database of information that allows you to manage the Crystal Enterprise Framework. This is the name of the Crystal Enterprise system to log on to.
Initializes the system
property of the Identity
bean.
A user group alias. This alias may be an Enterprise user group alias, or a third
Initializes the selectedAuthentication
property of the Identity
bean.
The name of the user.
Initializes the userName
property of the Identity
bean.
The user's password.
Initializes the password
property of the Identity
bean.
When you add a new Logon
component after setting these preferences, to see the effects of these changes, you must create a new Identity
bean when prompted, rather than use an existing Identity
bean. These preferences will be the initialized values for the equivalent bean properties of a the Identity
bean.
