Technical documentation - References

This article describes how to configure references.

This configuration is available in version 5.0 and later.

Overview

References exist on presentations, part rows and nodes. A reference may point to different targets; a presentation, an url or several other types of objects. How references are displayed can be configured using the <Reference> tag in <PresentationSettings>. This article explains the configuration options.

Configuration

Reference placement and design

A reference may be placed in any of the areas of a view using the display attribute (see ). The label for the references can be configurated by the label attribute.

<Setting> <!-- References in catalogues will be handled by this example setting --> <Trigger base-type="Catalogue"> <!-- Display the reference in the body area of the catalogue view. Hearer will be "keyText" --> <References display="body" label="keyText"/> </Setting>

The reference item is a graphical object in it self and has a layout. The layout of the reference is like below.

Target display option - presentation

If reference is pointing to a presentation, it is possible to configure how the reference item displays values from the presentation it is pointing to.

<References display="body" label="keyText"> <!-- References pointing to presentations will be based on the template preview --> <Presentation template="preview"/> </References>
