UI types in Engineering Insights
You can use UI types in IBM® Engineering Lifecycle Optimization Engineering Insights, and change appearance of an artifact.
About this task
Engineering Insights provides UI types to format a node in the view and the formatting is applicable to all nodes in a container. UI type includes definitions that contain different properties such as height, fill color, title, summary, shape. You can use these properties to change the appearance of the nodes. Each node has a UI type that is associated with it.
Engineering Insights supports 16 system UI types. You can customize existing system UI
types and create a new UI type from exiting UI types or from scratch. UI type definition provides
conditional parameter to change the appearance of the nodes when the represented artifacts meet
defined conditions. New UI types are applicable to all nodes.
Remember:
- You must define the uri parameter and its value ${uri} to see the required result.
- The uri parameter is a link of the artifact. According to the artifact type, the uri parameter shows a value in the UI type definition. If you edit the value, the container fails to load, and you might not get required result.
