form
form, tile type
The form
tile is intended to display a form where values can be manually entered from the dashboard view. The variables listed for display in this tile are expected to be attached scalar values obtained from a read form
.
read form with
StartDate : date
IsTicked : boolean
Category : text
MyHidden : text
show form "My settings" a1b2 with
StartDate as "My start date"
IsTicked as "Is ticked"
Category as "My category"
MyHidden { formAccess: hidden }
show summary "My settings view" a3b4 with
StartDate
IsTicked
Category
MyHidden
Specifying a default form values is possible.
read form with
StartDate : date
IsTicked : boolean
Category : text
MyHidden : text
show form "My settings" a1b2 with
date(2022, 2, 17) as "My start date" form: "StartDate"
false as "Is ticked" form: "IsTicked"
"my default category" as "My category" form: "Category"
"my hidden default" form: "MyHidden" { formAccess: hidden }
show summary "My settings view" a3b4 with
StartDate
IsTicked
Category
MyHidden
Roadmap: There are two syntaxes that co-exist for the tile
form. The former does not allow the default values to be set. The later uses text literals to identifies variables. Neither of the two syntaxes for the form
tile is really satisfying. This syntax will be refactored in the future.
