Editing Foreign Key Filters
Components of a column-dependent reference can be edited for a foreign key filter.
To edit a filter for foreign keys
- Open the tab Column-dependent references and select an option on the tab Foreign key filters.
- Enable the check box for the selected entry.
If there is a custom value for this entry, the value in shown in the Component (Customized).
When you enable the entry a custom value is added, as in configuring the web project, which corresponds to the default value.
The control box cannot be disabled if the foreign key is customized.
- Specify a filter by clicking
in the Filter on and create a filter.
You can limit foreign key values with the help of the filter.
Editing Foreign Key Values
Foreign keys can be edited in components of a column-dependent reference.
To edit foreign key values
- Open the Column-dependent references tab and select the desired entry on the Edit foreign key values tab.
- Enable the check box for the selected entry.
If there is a custom value for this entry, the value in shown in the Component (Customized).
When you enable the entry a custom value is added, as in configuring the web project, which corresponds to the default value.
The control box cannot be disabled if the foreign key is customized.
- Edit the selected component by selecting another one from the Component menu.
The selected component is the one to be used in the default web application.
NOTE: Instead of selecting a component, you can delete the configured entry using .
To edit multi-value foreign key values
- Proceed as in the step-by-step for 'To edit foreign key values'.
NOTE: Use the Edit multi-valued foreign key values tab, to offer components in the same context in the Web Portal any number of times.
Using a Column Dependent Reference
|
|
Note: A cursor must be on the collection to be able to add a column-dependent reference. |
To add a column-dependent reference
- Select a control node (a container, for example) with the right mouse button.
- Select Column-dependent references.
- Assign the added node to the collection and the edited property.
Object-Dependent References
Components are referenced on the basis of two factors in the case of object-dependent references:
- Reference type specified on the reference node
- Reference object identified by its object key
|
|
NOTE: Use the setting Only apply object-dependent references that are explicitly assigned to this project to ensure that only object-dependent references explicitly assigned to this web project apply. If this option is not set, both the assigned object-dependent references as well as object-dependent references without assignments are taken into account. This option is set by default. You can find the setting Only apply object-dependent references that are explicitly assigned to this project in the Node editor window. |
