Configuring Views
Previous
When this action is invoked the page reverts to a previous state. There are two separate
notions of the meaning of previous:
• If the view that initiates the reaction is somewhere on a page then the page
switches to the previous one in memory. This is synonymous with clicking the
previous page in the breadcrumbs trail at the top left of the page.
• If the view is a top level view (that is, it has not been drilled into or the only
breadcrumb is the name of the view you are looking at) it has the same effect as
using update on that page with the exception that the context is not updated.
If the root view causing the firing of the previous action is contained in a popup dialog
then previous causes the dialog to pop down.
Sequence
The Sequence flow type is used when there is a requirement to do more than one type of
flow, so it is used to execute a list of reactions sequentially. The order in the list is
important and the execution of one reaction affects the next one, including changing the
context.
This allows you, for example, to update the current page with a selection from a table
(therefore causing the selected row to be remembered), and then go to another page. If
you return to the first page, it is the updated page that is displayed. In this case the first
reaction in the list should be Update and the second should be Next Page (reversing the
order would cause the update to affect the next page, which is not the desired effect).
Select Tagged View
The Select tagged view reaction is used in vFoglight to implement Rule Based
Drilldown. Its use is application specific, and is intended for internal development
purposes.
Select Type Flow
A Type Flow is defined in a Type Mapping using the Types tab. You can associate a
default UI flow (via a tag) with a specific data type. For example, you can define a
default flow for a vFoglight Host to be a drill-down to the Host Summary page.
Type Flow links to selected pages when you specify a type of object. The figure shows a
typical configuration. In this case, all cases flow to the same view, the Host Summary
page. You have the option of marking the popup as temporary or permanent, which is
the reason for having two drill downs to the same page. Also, the flow might be based
on a menu choice.
