Toolbars for an Editable Table

You can define the editable table page to include a configurable toolbar and/or a mass update toolbar.

The edit mode of the table can contain two types of toolbars:


  • Mass update toolbar allows changes to multiple rows with a single action. Set the emxFrameworkShowMassUpdate property to true to include it. You can adjust this at the page level by passing the massUpdate=false URL parameter to emxTableEdit.jsp. When set to true, the editable table contains check boxes before each row of the table, and it also displays a mass update toolbar at the top of the table. Users can select the column and values to change for the rows selected.
  • Configurable toolbar can be the same as the toolbar used in view-only mode. You can include a configurable toolbar in the header of an editable table when the toolbar name is passed to emxTable.jsp or emxTableEdit.jsp using the editToolbar parameter. You can include the same toolbar in both the view-only mode and the Edit mode, as long as it does not contain commands that would change or refresh the view-only table or editable table. If you show the Edit button in the Table component by passing the parameter editLink = true to emxTable.jsp, then you should pass the editToolbar parameter to emxTable.jsp.

    If the Edit button in the Table component is a custom command, where the URL is a custom URL (for example emxTableEdit.jsp), you should append the parameter to the custom URL (emxTableEdit.jsp).

    You can include the generic delete command, AEFGenericDelete, as part of a toolbar or Actions menu in a toolbar. This command provides delete functionality for the table.

The table can contain both toolbars, either toolbar, a plain toolbar with just a help icon, or no toolbar at all (by passing the parameter HelpMarker = false).

The export and printer-friendly icons are not shown in the toolbar of an editable table even if they are configured to show in the view-only table.
