The Common Tab

The Common Tab gives access to the following parameters:

Not authorized text
Service unavailable text
Not in scope text
Help link
Help External Link
Detached view footer

Text area

The first three parameters consist in text areas, where you can enter the default text to be displayed in each of the three situation:

when the user is not authorized to view the content of a Portlet,
when the related application is not available
when a Portlet appears in an ATFCM phase it does not belong to. This last parameter is seldom used, since you can configure (in the Main View tab) in which phase a given portlet would be visible or not...

Please check this section for more information on the text editor.

Note: these settings will be overridden by the ones declared in the Main View tab, in case you would rather use this alternate way - allowing you to specify texts individually targeted to given scope(s), and override the corresponding settings from the GLOBAL_DC entity.

Help link

Drang and drop from the File resources tree the file to be opened when a user click on the ? button located in the title bar of the Portlet.

Help External Link

If you want a web page being opened instead of a document, enter in the URI field the URL of the page of the NOP Online Help you want to launch.

You can target the Help default page (https://www.nm.eurocontrol.int/HELP/webframe.html), or more likely a specific page in relation with the context of the Portlet. In this case, simply append the root URL with a question mark and the full name of the Help page you want to target.

Caution: use only one of these two method to avoid getting an error message when publishing - and the second one is currently the preferred one. It is therefore discouraged to use the Help link field.

Example
To access the page ACC_Info.html you will enter this URL: https://www.nm.eurocontrol.int/HELP/webframe.html?ACC_Info.html.

A Keywords field is linked to the component - it is not really useful in this context and may therefore be left blank.

Detached view footer

This is where you can enter the elements to be displayed by default at the bottom of each Detached View belonging to the same entity type.

Note: these settings will be overridden by the ones declared in the Detached Views tab, in case you would rather use this alternate way to handle detached view footers - check this section for more information on Detached Views configuration.

Adding a Detached view footer

The text for the footer of the NOP Detached Views is managed at global level, in the GLOBAL_DC entity, and is designed to be automatically applied to all Detached views so you will not have to individually enter each and any of them.

However, in cases were the detached Views of a given Portlet or application need to have specific footers (i.e. containing a disclaimer of some sort), you may use this component and enter content which will override the global values.

Follow these steps to create a specific Detached view footer, and assign it to one or more NOP Phase:

Click on the Add button
Click on any combination of the NOP phases buttons (POS, TAC, PRE, STR, R) to indicate in which scope this specific footer will be visible (dimmed buttons mean 'off' and vivid ones mean 'on') allowing you a different content or wording according to the selected scope(s)
Enter the desired values for the Copyright, Webmaster address (email) and Disclaimer label fields
Enter in the Disclaimer text area the text to be displayed when a user clicks on the Disclaimer label link defined above
When relevant, enter some keywords to be picked by the NOP search engine
... and do not forget to clik on the Apply button.

You can repeat these steps to add more footers, and then click on the OK button when done.

Caution: you may not assign more than one value to a given scope. Should you accidentally do so, the systems cheks for duplicates during the Validate and align or the Publish process and returns error message(s).

Deleting a Detached view footer

Simply select the entry to be removed and click on the Delete button.
