As the procedure runs, the UI gives us information that the job status and reports back any error messages. If all inputs are valid, we are shown a quick summary of the procedure and parameters about to be executed and clicking ‘OK’ executes the procedure. Try to run the select procedure without filling all the required inputs produces a prompt and highlights the offending fields. The results in string updates as we make changes to any of these three top fields, but it can also be edited independently if we need to do so. The title field in the center allows us to insert whatever text we like between the prefix and the suffix. And the same is true for the suffix field. So as you can see the prefix field is a suggestion box and as we type, the list of available selections shrinks. It’s purpose is for assembling valid parameters to be passed to the customers IBM Rational Synergy system using a combination of predetermined, prefixes and suffixes and custom text. And we gave regular text fields the ability to be turned into a completely custom input widget that we called a synergy project widget. For this particular plugin, we gave drop-down selectors the ability to be turned into suggestion boxes, which narrowed down your possible selections as you type. The other thing we can do is change certain types of input fields into more specialized widgets. When we click ‘OK’, you can see the parameters are reordered and this order has been saved to the plugin’s configuration settings so that will always appear this way. Let’s also move the text field parameter up to that’s the second in the list. So let’s move the parameter label dropdown from the bottom of the list to the top.

Using the plus and minus buttons, we can move a parameter up or down. First, we can reorganize the order in which the parameters are displayed. Using the settings buttons, we can perform a couple of operations. Now the imported procedure is available under the actions list, and we can see this parameters over on the right. Selecting a procedure imports it into the plugin and updates the display. The list that appears dynamically populated with projects and associated procedures visible to the current user. Since we’re logged in as the administrator, we can manage the available actions. When the plugin loads, it’s populated with procedures which have already been imported into the plugin. It required creating a special kind of widget for constructing parameters value out of predefined externally supplied options as well as a means of quickly searching through long lists of possible selections.
This project was created for the purpose of controlling an external application from within Electric Commander. First, lets look at a project that demonstrates the dynamic abilities of the user interface itself. Rather than manually typing values into fields or requiring extensive knowledge of a particular system, users want to be presented with contextually aware input options that limit the user to only making valid selections.įurthermore, they want the selections in one menu item in one menu item to change the available options in related fields something that Commander is not able to do out of the box. One of our most frequent requested customizations is for input screens featuring dynamically populated and responsive menu items. SPK is the leading provider of custom dashboards and users interfaces for Electric Commander (now part of CloudBees CD).
