Parameters for Toolbar Menu Objects

This table details the available parameters for menu objects that represent the top-level menu for a toolbar and the lower-level menus.

For specific instructions on how to create menu objects using Business Modeler or MQL, refer to the Business Modeler Guide or MQL Guide.

Parameter Description Accepted Values/Examples

Alt

Defines the text to display for a Tooltip.

--

Commands

(specified in the Items tab in Business Modeler)

Defines the command objects that represent the links in the toolbar for the top-level menu and that represent links in the drop-down menu for lower-level menus.

The order of the commands determines the order of the links on the toolbar and in the drop-down menu.

Names of command objects, such as:

ENCCreateRevisionToolbarActionLink

TMCEditProfileToolbarActionLink

ENCEffectivityDateFilter

href

Defines the URL to call when a user clicks the label or image that represents the menu object.

An href is not applicable to menu objects for My Desk, Actions, or Toolbar menus or submenus. The Toolbar menu cannot be clicked (only the individual tools can be clicked). The submenu labels for My Desk and Actions menus can be clicked but doing so only expands and contracts the menu and does not call another page.

--

Icon

Defines the icon for the object within ENOVIA Live Collaboration. The dynamic user interface does not display images for each application.

The name of an image file, such as Part.gif.

Label

Not applicable for top-level menus.

Defines the text to display on the toolbar menu. This is the text that appears on the "button" that users click to access the drop-down menu, such as Action.

Specify a string resource ID for the text string or the actual text string that should appear. To internationalize the text, you must use a string resource ID. See Internationalizing Dynamic UI Components.

The system first looks for a string resource ID that matches the entered value. If it finds one, it uses the value for the ID. If it doesn't find one, it displays the entered text.

Create New Part

emxFramework.common.Actions

If the label text is not found and no image is defined, the toolbar component displays an error icon to indicate that a configuration error has occurred.

Menus

(specified in the Items tab in Business Modeler)

Defines the menu objects that represent drop-down menus. The order of the menus defines the order that they appear in the toolbar or drop-down menu.

When defining custom filters, the list of menus to add to the toolbar. Menu names can use the underscore (_) or hyphen (-) characters, but no other special characters.

Names of menu objects, such as:

ECBOMListToolBar

TMCProjectsToolBar

ENCFilterMenu

Settings

Defines additional settings for the behavior and appearance of the toolbar menu objects.

Name/value pairs, as defined in Settings for Toolbar Link Command Objects.
