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® Case Manager. 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 Manager 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 Manager Client
determines the data type at run time and uses the appropriate
default control for editing the property.
