17. Application Level Property Settings

Application Level Property Settings

Introduction

Properties can be set at the Application level and not just at the Operation level. If you have 5 Operations inside the Application and you want all of them to use specific properties that are all the same settings for uniformity, this is where it will save time to set the properties at the Application level and not each individual Operation.

For example, I can set a Property in the Application of:

TableDisplay{ allowColResize: true; }

…and this will enable this specific feature in all 5 Operations inside this Application. Then if I wanted one Operation to not use it, I go to that specific Operation and set the property in TableDisplay to:

allowColResize: false;

....so that in this specific Operation it won’t be on. The one closest to the source code takes precedence, like HTML. You can consider the Application as the CSS and the Operation itself as Embedded Styling or Inline Styling.

You can use all the properties for an Operation and set them in an Application.

How to set

Go into the Application Manager in WOW and go to the Properties settings, which is located under the Display settings section of the WOW Builder. Set the TableDisplay{ } property with the following properties:

TableDisplay{

allowColResize: true;

nextPreviousJustify: left;

}

...then click the Update or Insert Application button at the top, depending if you are creating a new Application or editing an existing one.

Note: the nextPreviousJustify default setting is set to “right” without having the property visible. Remember, this is just an example of two property settings within the TableDisplay{} settings. You can add any properties into the Application that you can set in any Operation.
