Working in overviews
Overviews in Lobster Data Platform / Orchestration are generally always structured according to the same scheme.
The screenshot shows the basic structure of an overview window, exemplified by the user administration.
(1) The Common, Export, Settings and Administration tabs: Here it is possible to switch between the ribbon menu items. Less tabs may be available depending on role permissions.
(2) Master and detail: In the user administration example, a master and detail selection is offered. Here the user entry can contain a list of communication information. Use the tab to switch between 'Master and Detail'. Depending on this, the ribbon menu will also change.
(3) Data display: The data of the entry selected in (8) is displayed here.
(4) Paging in List: The data in overviews is displayed in so-called pages. Not all data is transferred from the database, but only the data from one page (here 20 data sets). The number of displayed data sets and the total number of hits is also indicated (here 1-3 of 3). The user can navigate between pages with the navigation arrows and the page selection. Only the data of one page (here 20 data sets) is read from the database.
(5) Filter and sorting: The filter input fields are used for database queries. The filters are linked with AND. Sorting can additionally be done. Changing the sorting triggers a new search on database level with the sorting selected. Multiple sorting fields can be selected with the Shift key and the mouse cursor. The numbers next to the column headers indicate the sorting order. Wildcards can also be used in text fields. A detailed description of the available filters is given in the chapter List filters.
(6) List: List of data sets found. The selected entry is displayed in (3) and can be edited there, depending on permissions.
(7) Fullscreen mode: Individual forms can also be displayed in fullscreen mode if there is not enough space for the content or if a better overview is desired. Together with the browser's full screen mode (on PC versions usually F11), the maximum screen area can be used.
(8) Filter and sorting: The current filter and sorting settings can be saved here under a defined name for a specific user or reloaded at a later time.
Under (A) all previously created filter and sort settings for the current user are displayed. The checkmark symbol (left side) marks the currently active setting.
Settings can be deleted or renamed with the buttons on the right side.
With (B) the current settings can either be added to the list as a new entry or the currently active entry can be overwritten accordingly with the current settings.
Subdialogs
If subdialogs are called in an overview (here in the example 'Addressbook entries' overview within an 'Addressbook' (1)), then this subdialog is shown within the same view slot.
The view slot shows the 'Address book' overview (1). The 'Address book entries' overview is displayed as a subdialog (2) and can be closed by clicking the 'Close' icon (3) or the Back option in the ribbon (4).
User-specific list settings
In overviews, the HTML client offers the possibility to make user-specific settings for the columns to be displayed.
The settings are automatically saved when changes are made.
A click on (1) opens a dialog to select the columns to be displayed in the table.
All available columns (2) are listed here. (Only those columns are displayed that are available in the overview configuration found via association criteria).
The columns can be activated or deactivated with a mouse click (3).
The basic settings of the list can be restored via Reset (2) in the 'Settings' (1).
►NOTE◄ The basic settings can be configured by an administrator and can therefore differ greatly from the default settings!
The column order can be changed by drag & drop.
The width of the columns is also automatically saved for each user after any changes (1).
