Edit Content Dialog

Purpose

You can display (and edit if required) content from model-wide and user-specific application configuration in the Edit Content dialog. Constraints are in place to avoid accidentally damaging the configuration.

An application configuration which was created in the wizard for BPMN import can be modified at a later stage or you can repair a stored search which can no longer be loaded. The text from a configuration which no longer works can easily be provided for MID support.

The dialog supports syntax highlighting and folding.

Prerequisites

You require the Edit Model-Wide Configurations privilege for making changes to model-wide application configuration.

Call

1. Model Contents tool window, Administrative Contents view

   The  Edit Content

   The Administrative Contents view is only shown to users with model administrator rights.

2. Dialogs which Show Configurations

   Dialogs which show configurations have a  View Content button. Configuration content is only allowed to be viewed here so as to avoid accidentally damaging the configuration.

   Editing is allowed for configurations which could not be loaded; the button is then called  Edit Content. This allows MID support to help fix the damaged configuration.

Structure

The dialog consists of:

• Format drop-down list

  Select the display format for the text here. There are XML file formats for selection, JSON and unformatted.

•  Prettyprint button

  Formats the code so that it is clearly legible.

• Word wrap selection button

  Select whether text should be wrapped.

• Text Box

  In accordance with the format selected for the configuration's formatted text.

• OK and Cancel or Close standard buttons
