Enum XPropertyEnum

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Comparable<XPropertyEnum>
    public enum XPropertyEnum
extends Enum<XPropertyEnum>
    An enumeration of all properties a form element may possess. The properties for each form element are saved as a JSON object, with the key being one of these enumeration constants, and mapped to the value of that property. Most of these properties are editable in the XIMA FORMCYCLE designer. Later, when the form element is rendered (translated into HTML), these properties are read and influence how the element is rendered.

    When you create a widget plugin to add a new form element to FORMCYCLE, you need to specify which properties your widget should have. First decide on the type of form element (input text, upload fields, pages, headers etc.), then see the individual constants below, which explain whether they are needed for that particular type of form element. Also, please note that each property specifies the data type of its value, see below.

    A note on data types: Most properties have their data type set to String. By convention, boolean attributes are represented by a string, with 0 being false and 1 being true. Numbers are usually stored as a string with their decimal representation. Finally, when a property is empty, the default value is used instead.

    To illustrate, this is a typical JSON structure for a simple form with one text input field, one select field, and one set of buttons (with a back, next, and submit button):

    • Enum Constant Detail

      • parentid

        public static final XPropertyEnum parentid
        Data type: String

        Default: (computed)

        Required for all form elements. This is the id of the parent element, if one exists, and cannot be edited in the designer directly. For example, the parent of a text field could be an XFieldSet or an XPage.

      • rowid

        public static final XPropertyEnum rowid
        Data type: String

        Default: (auto-generated)

        Required for all form elements. This is the ID of the horizontal row (.xm-form-row) which contains the form element, if any. This property cannot be edited in the designer directly. When a form element is not placed in a row next to other form elements, its row ID is empty.

      • showpleaseselect

        public static final XPropertyEnum showpleaseselect
        Data type: String

        Default: 0

        Applies only to form elements of type XSelect with set required option to 0. If set to 1, the "please select" option is shown in the select. Otherwise, when set to 0, the "please select" option is not shown.

      • showpleaseselectreq

        public static final XPropertyEnum showlogo
        Data type: String

        Default: 1

        Data type: JSONObject

        Default: (empty object)

        Available for all elements. Contains a list of translations for all translatable properties. A form is always requested in a particular language. When a translation for that language is available, it is used. Otherwise, the default value of the corresponding XPropertyEnum is used.

        The keys of this object are language tags, such as de or en. Each value is another JSONObject with the property name (Enum.name()) as the key and the translated text as the value. For example, this could look as follows: 

         {
     "de": {
         "label": "<p>German label</p>\n",
         "helptext": "<p>German help</p>\n",

         "helptext": "<p>French help</p>\n",

 }
