Define a View Style - Intergraph Smart Instrumentation - Help

1. Start the Browser Manager, select Modules > Browser.

2. In the Browser Manager, add a new view profile or edit an existing one.

3. In the Browser groups data window, select .

4. On the lower Style pane, select Edit.

5. In the Name data field, type the new style name (defaults to Style followed by a number).

6. Do one of the following to select the fields to be displayed in the browser view:

   • Select the appropriate View check boxes, by scrolling down the Style settings data window and selecting the required fields individually. Note that the primary value field is always selected, and a check mark appears in its View check box by default.

   • Select the All check box in the Select group box, to select all the available fields.

   • Select the Custom check box in the Select group box to select all the custom fields.

   • Select the Non-custom check box in the Select group box to select all the fields that are not custom fields.

7. Select the Data Field Header column to customize the headers.

   

   • Data field headers that you customize appear in the browser view column headers when using the current style to view the data. You can customize any data field header.

   • In addition to the database fields provided to you by default, the Browser Manager also provides you with custom fields, which you can use to complement data attributes. A user with Domain Administrator rights can make default custom field definitions in the Administration module.

   • It is not possible to display an apostrophe in a custom field header. If your definition includes an apostrophe character, this character changes in the header to a double quote character ". If your definition includes a double quite character, it changes in the header to a tilde character ~. Other special characters appear in custom field header as defined.

8. Select in the Length data field to edit the field's maximum number of characters displayed in the Browser View when using the current style to view the data.

9. If you want to display in the Browser View print preview or print out the sum or average value of any numeric field, select its Sum and/or Avg. check box. For non-numeric fields, the Sum and Avg. check boxes are disabled.

10. To set the sorting options, do one of the following:

    • Select any header ( Data Field header, Table Column Name, Length, View, Sum, or Avg) to sort the fields that appear in the Style settings section in an ascending order (select again on the same header to sort the displayed fields in a descending order).

    • Select the Default Sort check box when available to revert to the default sorting order (the way the fields are arranged in the database). The Default Sort option is available only if you changed the sort order by selecting any header in the Style settings screen section.

11. To set the width and sequence of the selected fields, do the following:

    1. Select Customize to open the Column Layout dialog.

    2. To change the field sequence, drag the header of the field that you want to move to the left or to the right, then release the mouse button to drop the column in the new location.

    3. To resize the column width, point to the right or left edge of the column you want to resize so that the mouse pointer changes its shape to a double-headed arrow. Drag the column edge either to the left or to the right until the column matches the required width.

12. Select OK to close the Column Layout dialog and save the changes that you made to the column layout field and the style settings.

    Selecting OK in the Column Layout dialog saves the new column layout field and the changes you made to the style settings in the Browser Manager. Therefore, when you return to the Browser Manager the Save button automatically changes to Edit. Selecting Cancel returns you to the Style settings to continue creating your view style.

13. If changes have been made that have not been saved, the Save button will be visible, select Save to save your new style settings.

In the Style settings data window, red is used to symbolize a selected field. Yellow is used to symbolize a read-only field which cannot be accessed in the browser for data editing. You can set a different color for the read-only fields.
