Application is a type of entity linked to NOP Applications. They do share a couple of common features, but most of the configurable parameters are in effect specific.
Common features
The most obvious common features are the first three tabs: Common, Main View and Detached Views. They are described in the Common Features section.
Application Config
Next comes the way the Application Config tab is presented:
- A first column on the left side lists the configurable parameters in a tree-like fashion, containing a number of nested collapsible folders where the parameters are grouped.
- The right panel displays the content corresponding to the node selected in the tree. It can be tables (as in the above example), simple Value fields (as depicted below) ...
... or more complex combinations:
Structure and Navigation
The Application Config screen presents a significant amount of information, and features several coexistent navigation methods to access the configuration parameters.
In addition the navigation tree on the left side, you get a breadcrumb trail appearing horizontally across the top right part of the editor, providing links back to the level parent to the current one, and getting longer as you dig deeper in the nested folders of the navigation tree.
Note: the parameters present at root level are not editable by WIND. This is the case for:
- ENUMMAPPINGS
- SHAREDAREAS
- ...
In the example below, having navigated down to the EVENTS_TABLE folder (1) has caused the corresponding breadcrumb trail to be displayed (2) - and incidentally lets you edit the title of the level (Events - 3).
The content below the current level is displayed both in the navigation tree (4) and in the corresponding table (5).
Select the desired parameter (AIRPORT in this example) from either location (tree or table) to enable the editing component:
Practical example: AIM_PC
See in the next section a detailed example with the AIM_PC entity.
