Harness and Section forms
Adding a Chart

Field

Description

Accept the default property .pyTemplateChart. This property name is a placeholder.

Optional. Enter a constant value for the property value, a property reference, or an expression, to be used only when the user form or flow action form appears in read-write mode rather than read-only mode.

Click to start the Expression Builder.

Choose a default value that speeds data entry. When the system renders a harness or section in read-only mode (for example because the read-write mode requires a privilege that the current user does not hold), the default value does not appear, because data entry is not permitted.

• Choose Always, If Not Blank, or If Not Zero to have the field appear or be hidden based on the property value at the time this area of the user form (section or flow action) is first presented or refreshed. This condition is checked only once.
• Choose Other Condition to make the visibility depend on a when condition rule or a Java expression.

Check the Reserve space when hidden checkbox, if it appears, to have a blank area appear in the section when the paragraph is hidden.

Do not make an input field invisible if your application expects user input on the field. When a user submits an HTML form, an input field that is not visible is not included in the HTTP details.

Field

Description

• Auto — the control uses the edit mode of the section or harness in which it appears. If the section is set to Read Only, then the control is Read Only. If the section is set to Auto, then the control uses the edit mode of the harness. For example, a New harness is editable, while a Review harness is read only.
• Editable — the control is editable, regardless of the edit mode of the enclosing layout.
• Read Only — the property value is presented in read-only mode always, or based on a when condition rule or client-side test, even when the enclosing layout is in read-write mode.
