You can add properties to a properties view that are managed externally from your
solution. For example, external properties can be from another object model or provided by an
external data service.
About this task
The processing of external properties is not managed by IBM® Business Automation
Workflow. Therefore, if your view includes external properties, you must
ensure that the mechanism for processing these properties is in place. For example, you might use a
script to manage the properties and include a Script Adapter widget on any page that uses this view
for the Properties widget.
Procedure
To add an external property to a container in Properties View Designer:
-
In the Properties palette, select Run time only
from the drop-down list. Then, drag External Property into the
container.
-
Select the external property and edit the settings:
-
Enter the collection identifier and property identifier that Case Client will use to locate the property at run time.
-
Select the data type of the external property and define the property settings as needed.
You can leave the data type as Unspecified. In this situation, Case Client determines the data type at run time and uses the appropriate
default control for editing the property.
