Adding New Fields

New fields can be added via dragging the fields from the widget available Elements and drop them at the desired location in the view structure widget.

The available Elements widget is structured by the technical content providers (e.g. MARA for material or DRAW for document). It is possible to drag and drop multiple elements from the available Elements widget to one target element in the view structure widget at a time. In this case, one or multiple elements are dragged, they will be added to the view using the following rules:

• The system tries to determine the correct order of the fields (first label, second data field, third description field)

• All data fields are added as text fields.

• If dropped on a non structured element, the elements are inserted directly before the element on which they were dropped.

• If dropped on a row, a popup for selecting one of the following options is provided:

  • Insert as new row at this position - all elements are added as a new row directly before the row on which they were dropped

  • Insert as sub objects(s) (at the end) - all elements will be added as last objects to the row.

• If dropped on a container element, a popup for selecting one of the following options is provided:

  • Insert before this element - all elements are inserted directly before the element on which they were dropped

  • Insert as sub objects(s) (at the end) - all elements will be added as last objects to the container

If a data field shall display a different type, the type can be changed afterwards via the context menu function Change type by selecting the desired type.
