The Data configuration group allows you to define how the add-on renders graphs showing data values. This group contains the following tables:
Configuration
Scope
Table configuration
Link configuration
Each configuration specifies general graph behavior. They also act as an anchor point for the settings that determine a graph's scope, displayed tables, and included links. When more than one configuration applies to the same table, the add-on allows users to choose which will display.
Property | Description |
|---|---|
Name | The name used by this configuration. |
Orientation | Defines the graph's default orientation for relationships displayed using lines. You can choose from the following options: Left-to-right, Right-to-left, Bottom-up, or Top-down. |
Allow links to overlap nodes | Determines whether lines drawn for links can overlap nodes. Note that if disabled, this can negatively impact performance. |
Highlight color | Sets the color used to highlight relationships and nodes when selected. |
The Scope table allows you to specify the locations used in graph construction.
Property | Description |
|---|---|
Configuration | The configuration to which you want to apply these settings. |
Dataspace | Sets the dataspace searched by the add-on when searching for nodes to display in the graph. |
Dataset | Sets the dataset(s) searched by the add-on when searching for nodes to display in the graph. |
Each record allows you to associate a table with a data graph configuration. The add-on renders these tables when users generate the specified graph configuration. After adding a table to a configuration, you can configure links to and from the table that determine how graphs display. Two different tabs display and allow you to configure the main and node style configuration options. The following table provides descriptions for the fields on the Main tab:
Property | Description |
|---|---|
Configuration | Specifies the configuration to which this table will be added. |
Data model | The data model containing the table to include in this configuration. |
Table | The table to include in this configuration. |
Allow generation from selected table | Indicates whether users can generate the graph configuration from this table's Actions menu. |
Default label | Text to display on nodes. You can use an XPath expression to define the label. The Default label only applies when the Localized Label and Programmatic Label are undefined. |
Localized label | Text to display on nodes according to locales. You can use an XPath expression to define the label. The Localized label only applies if no Programmatic Label is defined. |
Programmatic label | Specifies a class to display a custom label on nodes. The value you enter in this field must specify a complete custom class that implements the NodeLabelRenderer interface. For example: |
The following table provides descriptions for the options on the Node style tab:
Property | Description |
|---|---|
Default style group | Defines the default styles for nodes. |
Style | Specifies the color for the border, background and text. Additionally, sets the width and style for the border configuration. |
Icon | Allows you to associate an icon with the node. By default, the icon displays on the left-hand side of the node. You can use the Standard option to select from the icons supplied with the add-on. Use the Image URL option to provide a URL to a custom image. The image must be located in the same domain as the running instance of EBX®. Supported filed types include: SVG, PNG, GIF and JPG. Any image larger than 21 by 21 pixels will be automatically resized when displayed in the graph. |
Conditional styles group | Defines conditional style for nodes. The add-on applies these styles only certain conditions have been met. You each style component's Condition property to set the desired criteria. |
Background color | Conditional background color. |
Label in legend | Text displayed in the legend for this background color conditional style. |
Color | Color of background displayed both in graph and legend if condition is true. |
Condition | Condition statement associated with the background color. All of the current table's fields are available through the XPath editor. For example: "./available=true" where "available" is a boolean field of current table) |
Label Color | Conditional label color. |
Label in legend | Text displayed in the legend for this label color conditional style. |
Color | Color of the label displayed both in graph and legend if the condition is true. |
Condition | Condition statement associated to the label color. All of the current table's fields are available through the XPath editor. For example: "./available=true" where "available" is a boolean field of current table). |
Border Color | Conditional border color. |
Label in legend | Text displayed in the legend for this border color conditional style. |
Color | Color of the border displayed in the graph and legend if the condition is true. |
Condition | Condition statement associated to the border color. All of the current table's fields are available through the XPath editor. For example: "./available=true" where "available" is a boolean field of current table). |
Border Style | Conditional border style. |
Label in legend | Text displayed in the legend for this conditional border style. |
Style | The border style displayed in the graph and legend if the condition is true. |
Condition | Condition statement associated to the Border Style. All of the current table's fields are available through the XPath editor. For example: "./available=true" where "available" is a boolean field of current table). |
Border Width | Conditional border width. |
Label in legend | Text displayed in the legend for this conditional border width conditional style. |
Width | The border width displayed in the graph and legend if the condition is true. Borders can be a width of 1 to 4. |
Condition | Condition statement associated to the border width. All of the current table's fields are available through the XPath editor. For example: "./available=true" where "available" is a boolean field of current table). |
Node template | Specifies a class to customize node appearance. The value you enter in this field must specify a complete custom class that implements the NodeTemplateFactory interface. For example: |
This table determines how the add-on displays relationships in the graph.
Property | Description |
|---|---|
Configuration | The configuration these link display options apply to. |
Display relationships as | Specifies whether the graph displays this relationship using lines to connect nodes, or containers with nested nodes. |
Target/Parent table | Sets the table used as the target if the relationship type is set to Line, or the parent table if the relationship type is Container. |
Source/Child table | Sets the table used as the source if the relationship type is set to Line, or the child table if the relationship type is Container. |
Display parent/target nodes automatically | Determines whether the child or source nodes defined in this link configuration automatically expand to display their respective parent and target relationships. When enabled, the add-on automatically expands this relationship when a user opens a graph displaying these child/source nodes, or when a user expands an existing node to display these child/source nodes. |
Custom filter class | Specifies a class that implements a custom filter. The value you enter in this field must specify a complete custom class that implements the DisplayFilter interface. For example: |
Default label | Text that will be displayed as default. This applies only if no Localized Label and no Programmatic Label are defined. |
Localized label | Text that will be displayed according to locales. This applies only if no Programmatic Label is defined. |
Programmatic label | Specifies a class used to display a custom label on a link. The value you enter in this field must specify a complete custom class that implements the LinkLabelRenderer interface. For example: |
Foreign keys | Each path entry defines a foreign key relationship between the source/target, or parent/child table to display in the graph. This group's fields are described below:
|
The following table provides descriptions for the options on the Link Style tab:
Action | Description |
|---|---|
Link styles group | Contains the link style definition. |
Condition | If no condition is defined, the style is considered always valid and will be applied. |
