About this task
The Context tab options let you specify
the default top-level service for your tree, or whether the tree changes
in response to context passed from other portlets or pages.The Set
Starting Instance option lets you select a default service
from a tree of your service models. This service displays as the default
in the Service Tree portlet. You can set the starting service instance
for your user ID only or for one of the groups you belong to.
The Change
starting instance when Node clicked on or launch page events are received option
lets you specify if the tree accepts context from another page or
from other portlets on the same page.
To set the context for a
Service Tree portlet, complete the following steps:
Procedure
- From the Context tab in the Service
Tree preferences, choose from these options:
- Change starting instance when Node clicked on or launch page events
are received.
- When you select this option, the tree accepts context from another
page or from other portlets on the same page. When the service tree
receives context, it shows either the service passed as context or
its child services as the default view. For example, if you select
a service in another tree on the same page, the context of this Service
Tree changes to show the selected service.
By default, it is not
selected. If it is not selected, the tree does not receive context
from other portlets or pages.
- Show starting node in tree
- To use this option, select the service you want to display by
default from the Service Tree. Then select this option to show the
service as the only root node in the Service Tree.
By default,
it is not selected. If it is not selected, the immediate children
of the starting instance become the root nodes of the tree.
- Broadcast service instance to page after tree loaded
- When you configure this option, after the tree is loaded, it broadcasts
service context data to the other portlets on the page. This enables
the initial content for the page. To enter the broadcast service instance,
select one of the following values:
- - 1: Indicates that there is no automatic selection of the initial
row.
- 0: Indicates that the first row is automatically selected.
- 1: Indicates that the second row is automatically selected.
- 99: Indicates that the 100th row is automatically selected.
- Click OK to save your preferences.
