Configuring the Reservation Details pane

6.4 Configuring the Reservation Details pane

To configure the reservation details pane

Open the reservations.xml file located in the Viewpoint home directory. Find the <details> element within the <manage> section.

Customize the title of the details pane by inserting the <title> element within <details>.

The <title> can include field references that are replaced with the value of the field of the current object being viewed. Any scalar field types are allowed. Fields are specified by prefixing a field name with a dollar sign ($) and optionally wrapping it in curly brackets, such as $id, ${name}, or $expected-state. Job variables can also appear in the title by using a map variable syntax, which suffixes the field name with a key enclosed in square brackets. For example, the reference $variable[aitId] would be substituted with the value of the job variable "aitId" in the title.

Configure any desired buttons in the details pane by using the <controls> element. This accepts only the <refresh /> and <delete /> buttons.

Customize the sections using the <sections> element. Specify a <section> for each collapsible section in the Reservation Details pane.

For each <section>, set the <title> that will separate the section in the pane.

Set the <fields> element as a child of <section> to hold the Details Pane buttons.

Within the <fields> element, set any of the table field types (for details, see Configuring columns in the Job Management table). You may also set any of the following child elements:

<variables> – Displays a list of variables on the record
<authorization> – Displays ACL information in a text area
<header> – Adds a line of header text meant to be a sub-header inside a details section or to separate groups of values in a details section

You may give the <end-date> field the editable="true" attribute to specify that it can be edited in the Reservation Details pane.
