Perspective Manager - what rules operands are available - can I apply a perspective if a classificat

David Henshaw

Smart UI and Perspective Manager gurus....

When defining a perspecitve and using the rules editor, is there a way to implement a rule to only use a perspective if a specific classification has been applied to the location?

For example, the following checks if the Business Workspace type is in a list

"rules": [{
            "errorMsg": "",
            "id": "rule-1516097332405",
            "rule": {
                "displayValue": "1",
                "logicPrefix": "",
                "operand": "ecmlinkworkspacetype",
                "operandCode": "[LL_REPTAG_SOURCEID /]",
                "operator": "IN",
                "truthy": false,
                "type": "select",
                "value": "118072,118073"
            }
        }
    ],

 

Is there a way to instead of checking if a specific classification (I assume a set can be done using the IN operator)....

I can't find anywhere documented the permitted list of values for "operand" and suspect I need something like a "dataID" operand - no?

Hi,

Perspective Rules actually support any logical expression that would be supported by the WebReports/ActiveView engine however the perspectives manager does not appear to support any more complex expressions than the ones currently defined when you create rules.  This means that you can make it work if you find the Perspective override itself and edit the rule in directly. For example, if this is a global Perspective you would use “Manage Global Perpectives” to find the override that you are defining the rule for or add one. Alternatively if you are applying from a specific container, you can select the properties->Perspectives tab, then Manage Perspectives and either edit or add a given perspective override.  Whichever way you use, you find the text box for “Rules” and then edit in the correct logic. You could pre-test this logic in a WebReport or ActiveView if that helps.

 

In the rules box you would use something like this (at a guess for your situation):

"[LL_REPTAG_SOURCEID RMINFO:CLASSID /]" == "[LL_REPTAG_$RMCLASSID /]"

 

You can build this up with AND/OR clauses to be as complex as you want. Also note, I’m using a constant here. This constant is defined on the Perspective Object that is selected for this particular override.

 

If you then edit this perspective from the manager, it will probably ignore this new rule and you could potentially overwrite it if you update.

 

Cheers
