The mandatory parent element for user interface components is <components>.

The value of the name attribute of the <component> element indicates which component (= object on the screen) is in question. Dependent on this value, <component> may have various child elements. The object may be, for example, a drop-down list or a check box.

The child elements that are common to most <component> elements are the following:

•Element <visible> defines whether the component is visible on screen. If it is not visible, a fixed value may still be specified for it. This value affects on what is shown on the template.

•Element <enabled> defines whether the component is enabled, that is, whether the user is able to make selections in this object.

•Element <promote> defines whether the component is shown on the template.

Note! The <promote> element has no effect in the Clausion FPM Web Client.

•Element <value> defines the default value for the component, for example the year that is preselected when opening a template.

The following table lists the objects and the values of the name attribute of the element <component>. It also indicates whether a <component> with this name is required, whether child elements <visible>, <enabled>, <promote> and <value> are required, and if other child elements exist. If the child elements <visible>, <enabled>, <promote> and <value> have default values, those are shown in parentheses.
