Display the Attributes Depending on the Credentials of Users

You can specify the list of attributes to display in the Properties panel depending on the current credentials of the user selected in the Preferences dialog box.

This procedure uses the Document.json for the Document type of object.

  1. Open the Document.json file located at /home/data/RTV/[serverName]/apache-tomcat/webapps/3DSpace/WEB-INF/classes/resources/masks/[bus|rel|itf].
  2. Add credentials in the UserContext.AppName format.

    Note: If two contexts need to display the similar value, then you can declare these contexts in the UserContext.AppName1:UserContext.AppName2 format in the Document.json file.

  3. Add a list of attributes to display for these credentials. For example: 

    "VPLMProjectLeader.Company1.CollabSpaceA.Write": {
		  "attributes": [
		  {
			"name": "project"
		  },
		  {
			"name": "current"
		  }]
	      }

    This example displays the collaborative space and maturity status in the Properties panel for any user who is logged in as a Leader in Company1 organization and CollabSpaceA collaborative space

The Properties panel displays the attributes defined for the current credentials of the user, according to the following order:

  • Credentials (access role + organization + collaborative space)
  • Access Role
  • Context (organization + collaborative space)
  • Collaborative space
  • Organization
  • Default

Organize the Attributes Depending on Their Extension

You can define if attributes defined in extensions are displayed before or after default attributes in the Properties panel.

Before you begin:

This procedure uses an attribute group created from IP Classification as the extension.

  1. From the Compass, click Social and Collaborative Apps > IP Classification.
  2. Create an attribute group.
  3. Create a library, and then a class in this library.
  4. Add an object and the attribute group to this class.

For more information, see IP Classification User's Guide.

  1. Go to /home/data/RTV/[serverName]/apache-tomcat/webapps/3DSpace/WEB-INF/classes/resources/masks/itf.
  2. Create a new file named after your attribute group.
  3. In this file, add a property weight to the details of the object in the following format: 

    {
	"details": {
		"weight": 10
	}
}

    If the weight is positive, the attributes specific to the extension are displayed before default ones. If it is negative, they are displayed after.
