Calling the Configurable Type Chooser from a Page

The Type Chooser can be called from a field defined on a configurable Form page or from any standard JSP.

  1. To use a property to define a list of types to include or exclude, add the property to the appropriate properties file. When defining the URL for emxTypeChooser.jsp, enter the property key in the InclusionList or ExclusionList parameter. If the file is an application-specific file, you need to specify the application using the SuiteKey parameter.

  2. In Business Modeler, open for editing the web form object that contains the field.

  3. Open for editing the field that should call the Type Chooser.

  4. In the RangeHref parameter for the field, enter the emxTypeChooser.jsp, plus the needed parameters (described in Parameters Used by the Type Chooser) and a path indication.

    The value for the fieldNameActual parameter should be the name of the field you are editing. So if the field's name is PartType, the value should be PartType.

    The value for the fieldNameDisplay parameter should be the name of the field you are editing appended with "Display". For a field named PartType, the value for this parameter should be PartTypeDisplay.

    Here are some example Hrefs: 

    ${COMMON_DIR}/
emxTypeChooser.jsp?fieldNameActual=PartType&fieldNameDisplay=Pa
rtTypeDisplay&formName=PartList&SelectType=multiselect&Inclusio
nList=eServiceEngineeringCentral.Types&ObserveHidden=False&Suit
eKey=eServiceSuiteEngineeringCentral&ShowIcons=False

    ${COMMON_DIR}/
emxTypeChooser.jsp?fieldNameActual=PartType&fieldNameDisplay=Pa
rtTypeDisplay&formName=PartList&SelectType=multiselect&Exclusio
nList=eServiceEngineeringCentral.Types&ObserveHidden=True&Suite
Key=eServiceSuiteEngineeringCentral&ShowIcons=True
