TypedAttrLayOutFactory

Java class

A factory capable of generating an attribute panel configuration from a Type Management layout for a given object type and screen type

ScreenDefinitionName

Java enum

Identifiers for the screen types shown in the Type and Attribute Management utility Layouts tab. For a given object type each screen type maps to one layout. However, a layout may map to more than one screen type.

ComponentId

Java class

Contains constants for some widely used component builder ids.

ComponentMode

Java enum

Determines whether view-only or input fields are displayed for attributes.

ComponentType

Java enum

Indicates how the attribute panel is being used. The ComponentType can affect such things as whether or not an attribute is visible or hidden, how an attribute is displayed (e.g., link vs text), and the HTML name given to an input field.

If the ComponentType is WIZARD_ATTRIBUTES_TABLE the system will give attribute input fields HTML names that the system can use to set the attribute values on the object for you. If you want to set all the attribute values yourself in a form processor, you should use the component type WIZARD_TABLE.
