simple attribute panel
A single-column list of attribute name: value pairs
advanced attribute panel
Attribute name:value pairs contained in one or more groups, each with a title and an example-collapse feature. Groups may have multiple columns of attribute pairs. A border surrounds the entire panel.
context object
The context object for a panel, typically derived from a URL parameter such as “oid”
datum object
The object that is passed to the data utilities that create the data model for the panel. The datum is created by the buildComponentData() method of builder classes. Also sometimes called “row object.” See NmObject Utilities for more information.
target object
May be used when the datum for the panel is a composite object. The target object specifies the specific member of the datum object that should be used for the panel or attribute within the panel. For example, if your datum was a WTPartUsageLink, you could specify a target object of RoleAObject.
The target object must be addressable from the datum object.
See NmObject Utilities for more information.
