Adding UI Blocks, Folders and Tasks

UI blocks are collections of folders and tasks. Tasks can be added as root elements to a UI block or under folders.

1.To add a UI block, click add-UI-block and fill in the UI block ID, name, and description. The ID cannot be changed later but the name can. The name shows in the navigation pane.

Tip! To copy an existing UI block as the basis of a new one, click copy, modify the settings and content of the UI block, and save it with a new ID and name.

2.If you want to add a folder, click add-folder Add Folder, select an icon for the folder, and fill in the folder name and description. The name shows in the navigation pane.

3.To add a task, click add-task Add Task, select the task ID from the Folder/task ID drop-down list, select an icon for the task, and fill in the task name and description. The name shows in the navigation pane.

Note! Unlike most cases where the IDs are used, the task ID does not identify the task from other tasks and thus several tasks can have the same task ID (as is the case with, for example, InputSheet10000 and ReportSheet task IDs). The task ID is an attribute indicating what kind of task is in question and tells the application how to proceed when the task is activated.

4.To save the changes, click save.

Copying a task as new within one UI block

1.Select the task which you want to copy.

2.Click copy Copy as New on the toolbar. The Copy as New pop-up window opens.

3.Add a name/ID for the task in the Name field and click OK.

The copy of the task is added to the end of the task list of the UI block.
