Introduction

Details are used to display supplemental data for a primary section object. The section details are displayed on the section edit page tabs in the tabs area.

Depending on the method of entering and displaying data, there are following types of details.

• Details with edit fields.
• Details with adding page.
• Details with editable list.
• Details with selection from lookup.

More information about details of different types can be found in the "Details” article.

The detail creation

A custom detail must be registered so that the detail wizard could work with it. To register a detail, add a record with detail caption, detail schema identifier DetailSchemaUid (from the UId column in the SysSchema table) and detail object schema identifier EntitySchemaUId (from the UId column in the SysSchema table) to the SysDetail table.

More information about creating details of different types can be found in the "Adding details” article.

The base schema of the BaseDetailV2 detail

All detail schemas must be inherited from the BaseDetailV2 base schema. The base logic of data initialization and communication with the edit page are implemented in the schema.

The base schema class has the following properties:

BaseDetailV2 messages

The massages are used for communication between the detail and the edit page. A full list of messages, their broadcast mode and direction are given in the table 1.

Table 1. The messages of the base detail

The message modes are defined in the Terrasoft.core.enums.MessageMode enumeration and message direction is defined in the Terrasoft.core.enums.MessageDirectionType. More information about them can be found in the “” article.

BaseDetailV2 attributes

The attributes property contains the attributes of detail view model. The attributes that are defined in base detail class are given in the table 2.

Table 2. The attributes of the base detail

The available attribute data types are represented by the Terrasoft.DataValueType enumeration. More information about them can be found in the “” article.

BaseDetailV2 methods

The methods defined in base detail class are given in the table 3.

Table 3. The methods of the base detail

BaseDetailV2 array of modifications

In the diff modifications array of the base detail, only a base container for detail view is defined:

diff: /**SCHEMA_DIFF*/[
  // Base container for detail view.
  {
     "operation": "insert",
     "name": "Detail",
     "values": {...}
  }
]/**SCHEMA_DIFF*/

The “BaseGridDetailV2” base “detail with list” class

The class is a BaseDetailV2 inheritor. All details with lists must be the BaseGridDetailV2 inheritors. The list base logic (import, filtering, adding, deleting and editing the detail records) is implemented in the BaseGridDetailV2 schema.

More information about creating custom details can be found in the" Adding a detail with an editable list” article.

BaseGridDetailV2 messages

Main BaseGridDetailV2 messages are given in table 4.

Table 4. The messages of the detail with a list

The message modes are defined in the “Terrasoft.core.enums.MessageMode” enumeration and message direction in the “Terrasoft.core.enums.MessageDirectionType” enumeration. More information about them can be found in the “” article.

BaseGridDetailV2 attributes

Main BaseGridDetailV2 attributes are given in table 5.

Table 5. The attributes of the detail with a list

The available attribute data types are represented by the Terrasoft.DataValueType enumeration. More information about them can be found in the “” article.

BaseGridDetailV2 mixins

Main BaseGridDetailV2 mixins are given in the table 6.

Table 6. The attributes of the detail with a list

More information about the GridUtilities mixin is given below.

BaseGridDetailV2 methods

Main BaseGridDetailV2 methods are given in table 7.

Table 7. The methods of the base detail with a list

BaseGridDetailV2 array of modifications

In the diff modifications array of the base detail, only a base container for detail view is defined:

diff: /**SCHEMA_DIFF*/ [
  {
    // Element for displaying the list.
    "operation": "insert",
    "name": "DataGrid",
    "parentName": "Detail",
    "propertyName": "items",
    "values": {
      "itemType": Terrasoft.ViewItemType.GRID,
      …
    }
  },
  {
    // List reloading button.
    "operation": "insert",
    "parentName": "Detail",
    "propertyName": "items",
    "name": "loadMore",
    "values": {
      "itemType": Terrasoft.ViewItemType.BUTTON,
      …
    }
  },
  {
    // Record adding button.
    "operation": "insert",
    "name": "AddRecordButton",
    "parentName": "Detail",
    "propertyName": "tools",
    "values": {
      "itemType": Terrasoft.ViewItemType.BUTTON,
      …
    }
  },
  {
    // Typed record adding button.
    "operation": "insert",
    "name": "AddTypedRecordButton",
    "parentName": "Detail",
    "propertyName": "tools",
    "values": {
      "itemType": Terrasoft.ViewItemType.BUTTON,
      …
    }
  },
  {
    // Detail menu.
    "operation": "insert",
    "name": "ToolsButton",
    "parentName": "Detail",
    "propertyName": "tools",
    "values": {
      "itemType": Terrasoft.ViewItemType.BUTTON,
      …
    }
  }
] /**SCHEMA_DIFF*/

The GridUtilitiesV2 mixin

GridUtilitiesV2 is a mixin that implements the logic of the “list” control. Features that are implemented in the Terrasoft.configuration.mixins.GridUtilities class:

1. Message subscription
2. Data load.
3. Working with the list:
   • selection of the records (the search of the active records)
   • adding, deleting and modifying the records
   • setting up the filters
   • sorting
   • exporting to the file
   • checking the access permissions to the list records

GridUtilitiesV2 methods

Main GridUtilitiesV2 methods are given in table 8.

A detail with editable list

A detail with editable list enables editing records directly in the list without going to the record editing page. To make a detail list editable, you need to modify its schema the following way:

1. Add the dependencies from the ConfigurationGrid, ConfigurationGridGenerator and ConfigurationGridUtilities modules.
2. Connect the ConfigurationGridUtilites and OrderUtilities mixins.
3. Set the IsEditable attribute to “true”.
4. Add a configuration object in the modification array where the properties will be set and the methods that handle the detail list events will be bound.

The development case of creating a detail with an editable list can be found in the "Adding a detail with an editable list” article.

The “ConfigurationGrid” module

The ConfigurationGrid module contains the implementation of the “Configuration Grid” control. The Terrasoft.ConfigurationGrid class is the inheritor of the Terrasoft.Grid class. Main Terrasoft.ConfigurationGrid methods are given in table 9.

Table 9. Configuration grid methods

ConfigurationGridGenerator module

The Terrasoft.ConfigurationGridGenerator generates list configuration and is an inheritor of the Terrasoft.ViewGenerator class. The methods that are implemented in the Terrasoft.ConfigurationGridGenerator class are given in table 10.

Table 10. The methods of the configuration grid generator

The ConfigurationGridUtilities module

The Terrasoft.ConfigurationGridUtilities class contains methods that initialize a view model of the list string, process the active record actions and handle “hotkeys”.

The main properties of the Terrasoft.ConfigurationGridUtilities class are given in table 11 and its methods are provided in table 12.
