EnterWorks has a repository record preview option that displays a thumbnail image (if configured), the summary attributes, and a set of selected attributes in a compact form. Prior to version 11.2 the only configurable portions of the preview are the defined summary attributes and the selected user preference. The option was also only available in the gallery view.
Version 11.2 a new Record Preview capability has been introduced. It allows an unlimited number of layouts to be defined. They can be repository-specific or shared across all repositories. EnterWorks Tech Talk: "ETT 182 - Generic Record Preview Templates", which provides two generic viewers that present an optional image, the summary attributes, and a list of attributes and their values (from either a User Preference designated as the favorite for the detail editor or based on a designated property defined on the profile). These examples provide limited flexibility and are either cumbersome or impossible for individual users to configure their own presentation.
This session presents another generic viewer that relies on a Preview_Registry repository in which the specifics are defined, including:
- who can use it (EnterWorks Group members or individual users)
- how much space to use
- whether to include an image and what type
- what key information to display (e.g., Name, Short Description, Long Description, Feature Bullets) and whether they are labeled
- what detailed attributes and their values are displayed and in how many columns
- whether category attributes are to be included in the detailed attribute list
- the records from up to three linked (one to many or many to many) repositories in tabular form
- whether the table is displayed vertically (one row per record) or horizontally (one column per record)
- whether to include an image and what type
- the set of attributes from the repository
- whether to sort the records and on what attributes
