//Artefact:ModelAttribute/com/sphenon/modelling/xmodel/XMPresentation/Transparent

Description

If true, the respective attribute, association or instance shall not be represented directly in the user interface, but only it's contents instead.
For attributes and association ends this means that the respective slot of this feature shall not be shown, but only it's value instead.
E.g., an enumeration value might contain just a single name field, which shall be shown whenever it's containing instance is presented, but obviously without it's attributes name "Name" as a field label. Another use case is in Interaction classes, where attributes are used to just hold content, but the attribute itself is not to be shown (e.g. 'Browser' in 'EditorTransaction').
For classes this means that the respective instance shall not be shown, but only it's features instead.
E.g., most toolkit classes only serve the purpose of providing a container for internal management, but only the tools itself shall be represented.
Yet, while the slot or the instance may not be visibly represented, their properties must not be neglected. If, e.g., the slot or class is declared completely invisble by other properties (state, security etc.), the value must not be shown, too.

//Artefact:ModelAttribute/com/sphenon/modelling/xmodel/XMPresentation/Tightness

Description

Describes how tight a feature is bound to it's containing class. This information is used for rendering purposes.
The more tight a feature is, the more likely it is immediately visible when viewing a class instance. The less tight, the more clicks, additional windows and alike are necessary to view it.
With regard to attributes or associations this might be used for the sake of overview as well as for the sake of using limited screen space.
With regard to operations, it will decide how near and in which menu the operation will be placed.
Please note: there are disjunct subsets of valid properties used for attributes and associations in the one hand side and for operations on the other hand side.
For valid values see JavaClass

//Artefact:ModelAttribute/com/sphenon/modelling/xmodel/XMPresentation/Tag

Description

If specified, this feature belongs to a loose grouping of features that share the same tag. These groupings do not produce any structural changes, but can be used in the UI to e.g. distribute features on multiple tabs for better overview.
The default tag for attributes and operations is 'MAIN', and for associations it is the associations name. The tag 'ALL' is a hint that this feature shall be displayed on all tabs, which is reasonable for e.g. 'Close' and 'Ok' operations.
The 'MAIN' gets decorated with equipment from the main entity. Therefore, fields (attributes and operations) shall be presented on the 'MAIN' tab accompanied with their name and related equipment.
Association tabs get decorated with the equipment from the association. Therefore, on such tabs fields (attributes and operations), e.g. usually simply one association, shall be presented without further field decoration, but instead their value only.
If a tab is named 'MAIN-#' where '#' represents a number, it is handled similar to the 'MAIN' tab, including all decoration rules. With this technique, members can be grouped further.
Also, tabs named '<NAME>-#' where '#' represents a number and '<NAME>' represents the name of some field in mixed case spelling are similarly handled like the respective '<NAME>' tab, but in contrast fields are included with their field decoration, not without.

Description

Code, that dertermines dynamically whether the respective feature is visible.
Note: a feature is only visible if all visibility constraints do permit this. E.g., an attribute must not be marked as "hidden" in the core model, otherwise it is never visible. Visibility constraints comprise general visibility, states, modes, aspects and security constraints.

//Artefact:ModelAttribute/com/sphenon/modelling/xmodel/XMPresentation/ChangeabilityAspectCondition

Description

If specified, the feature is only changeable if the current aspect is matched by this condition. The current aspect is an external concept in the user realm. It is typically a string which is selected somehow implicitly or explicitly by the user and symbolises a certain aspect the user wants to see, in other words a point of view of the application she takes. Examples of aspects might be "overview", "customer", "management" or "system_diagnostics".

//Artefact:ModelAttribute/com/sphenon/modelling/xmodel/XMPresentation/Preview

Description

A small preview string describing the underlying ADO instance of a VUI adapter, typically based on it's attributes. Preview strings are used e.g. in choice lists and should be rather unique within a certain context. See also property 'DefaultPreview'.
Value of LastName and FirstName attributes, separated by comma

Code, that produces a binary object describing the current value of a VUI adapter feature, like e.g. a thumbnail image.
Use thumbnail of image
<PreviewObject.JavaCodeTemplateForVUI> (new VUIThumbnail(context, @(Image), 128, 128)).get(context) </PreviewObject.JavaCodeTemplateForVUI>

//Artefact:ModelAttribute/com/sphenon/modelling/xmodel/XMPresentation/PreviewComplete

Description

If true, the provided preview contains already the complete information about this entity. That implies e.g. that it is not necessary to provide zooming capabilities for it.
Applies to
▸ Model level: ☑ logical model ∙ ☑ technical model
▸ Model elements: ☐ packages ∙ ☐ classes ∙ ☑ attributes ∙ ☐ operations ∙ ☐ association ends ∙ ☐ states
Evaluation context: ---

//Artefact:ModelAttribute/com/sphenon/modelling/xmodel/XMPresentation/DefaultPreview

Description

If no preview is declared and this property is set to true, a default preview is generated which consists of a comma seperated list of all identifier attributes of this instance, i.e. all attributes with a PresentationImportance of "Identifier". This can be overridden by explicitly specifying a XMPresentation/PreviewPart.
Applies to
▸ Model level: ☑ logical model ∙ ☐ technical model
▸ Model elements: ☐ packages ∙ ☑ classes ∙ ☐ attributes ∙ ☐ operations ∙ ☐ association ends ∙ ☐ states
Evaluation context: ---

//Artefact:ModelAttribute/com/sphenon/modelling/xmodel/XMPresentation/DefaultPreviewFormat

Description

An alternate format string used in conjunction with the automatically generated default preview. Normally, the format string describes a comma separated list. With this format string, different formats than comma separated are possible. The advantage of using this property in contrast to XMPresentation/Preview, is, that still the runtime previews of the attributes are automatically generated, so this is easier to specify.
Use 'from' and 'till' previews, separated by a dash
<DefaultPreviewFormat> %(from) - %(till) </DefaultPreviewFormat>
Applies to
▸ Model level: ☑ logical model ∙ ☐ technical model
▸ Model elements: ☐ packages ∙ ☑ classes ∙ ☐ attributes ∙ ☐ operations ∙ ☐ association ends ∙ ☐ states
Evaluation context: ---

//Artefact:ModelAttribute/com/sphenon/modelling/xmodel/XMPresentation/PreviewPart

Description

If set to "Include" or "Exclude", explicitly defines whether this attribute is part or is not part of the automatically generated default preview.
If set to "IfIdentifier" (default), the participation is based on the Importance property as described at property XMPresentation/DefaultPreview.
Applies to
▸ Model level: ☑ logical model ∙ ☑ technical model
▸ Model elements: ☐ packages ∙ ☐ classes ∙ ☑ attributes ∙ ☑ operations ∙ ☑ association ends ∙ ☐ states
Evaluation context: ---

//Artefact:ModelAttribute/com/sphenon/modelling/xmodel/XMPresentation/PreviewMany

Description

A small preview string describing an underlying collection of ADO instances inside a VUI many adapter, typically based on the elements of the collection. If no such PreviewMany is declared, no default is generated, independent of the setting of the property DefaultPreview.
Join previews of each item into comma separated list
<PreviewMany.TextJavaCodeTemplateForVUI> VUIUtilities.joinPreviews(context, getItems(context), ", ") </PreviewMany.TextJavaCodeTemplateForVUI>
Applies to
▸ Model level: ☑ logical model ∙ ☑ technical model
▸ Model elements: ☐ packages ∙ ☑ classes ∙ ☐ attributes ∙ ☐ operations ∙ ☐ association ends ∙ ☐ states
Evaluation context: VUIManyAdapter

//Artefact:ModelAttribute/com/sphenon/modelling/xmodel/XMPresentation/TargetSpace

Description

If provided, evaluates to a String, which specifies the target space, which is navigated to after the respective operation has been executed. E.g., in an HTML interface, this will produce corresponding links, in addition to trigger parameters.
Applies to
▸ Model level: ☑ logical model ∙ ☑ technical model
