Text element

You may add any text you like to a scorecard element by using a Text Element. The space provided for displaying the text will be expanded as you add more text, so you can enter as much text as necessary.

How to add a Text element in Configuration Studio

To add a Text element to a scorecard element, right click the parent element to which it belongs, choose Add -> Miscellaneous -> Text element.

Properties

General

Name - the name "Text Element" is generated automatically but it may be changed

Introduction

Introduction - this is the text that will be displayed in the scorecard; click the Lookup button () to open the rich text editor to add formatting (only available in Configuration Studio)

Body

Body - the main part of the text; if there is text in Body "More..." will be displayed in the scorecard and the entire text will be displayed when "More..." is clicked; click the Lookup button () to open the rich text editor to add formatting (only available in Configuration Studio)

In addition to ordinary text, the Introduction and Body may contain token tags, to add dynamic text to the Text element or to create links with dynamic parts like period or organization, e.g. http://www.${this.organisation.name}.com.

You can refer to most properties for the current object and its organization, including Custom properties. Click to the right of the text field to open the editor where you can select context variables to create correct tags.

Tags should not contain white spaces, especially between $ and {.

E.g. $ { this.object.id } could be misinterpreted. The correct syntax is ${this.object.id}.

Examples:

<a href="http://www.${this.organisation.name}.com"> Click here to go to ${this.organisation.name}.com </a>

The results for ${this.bop.month} for ${this.organisation.name} are as follows:

Visibility

Border style - choose the style the object should have:
- Frame and Title bar
- Frame only
- None
Visible - select how the object should appear on the web:
- Visible
- Not visible
- Only visible for Admin - shows the object on the web only for users with admin user role; this applies everywhere, e.g. breadcrumb, organization tree, page content, Reporter, searching, filtered lists, maps, and Workflow.
This can be useful e.g. when adding new elements to "live" objects.

Audit

Last modified - the date and time when the object was last changed.
Created by - the name of the user who created the object.
Created - the date and time when the object was created.

Advanced

ID - a unique ID for the object.

By default, Corporater BMP assigns consecutive numbers to new objects.

You can change the ID to a value of choice that can include either letters or letter and number combinations.

The ID mustn't contain only numbers, include special characters such as ) ( . * } { + < > [ ], or match the name of a default object type in Corporater BMP.

Lifetime

Lifetime start - select the first day the object and its available children are valid.
Lifetime end - select the last day the object and its available children are valid.

For more information on how to limit the time period during which an object is available to users, see Time span.

Columns medium screen - the number of page columns the object occupies on Web on a medium screen device.

The maximum number of page columns is 6. Hence, for the object to span across the entire page, set the value of '6' for the device type.

For the object to span across half the page, set the value of '3'. For the object to span across a sixth of the page, set the value of '1'.
