HP TRIM WebDrawer - TRIM User Network

WebDrawer
Displaying data
The Web pages that are returned by the WebDrawer Server are made from two separate
parts, the HP TRIM data and the formatting commands for that data.
When constructing your own WebDrawer templates or restructuring the existing templates,
you need to address two issues:
Template syntax - the structuring of the data
Data names - what data will be returned to the client
Template syntax
The syntax for the WebDrawer templates is based on WebDrawer specific tags that resemble
standard HTML. These WebDrawer specific tags can be inserted into any HTML file and
format the data from objects in the HP TRIM database.
The WebDrawer specific tags allow for the following HP TRIM data to be included in
WebDrawer templates:
Captions - allows the creation of headings based on column names returned from the
database. The user set in the WebDrawer Service Manager will determine which set of
captions - default or user defined - are displayed in the pages returned from the
WebDrawer Server.
Data - data about the object
Hypertext links - generates hypertext links based on data
Inline images - allows the inclusion of images
Conditional branching - simple if-then-else conditional branching based on the
availability of data
For looping - simple looping based on the number of entities in a sub-object of the
current object
Captions
WD.CAP.COL.WD - WD.CAP.DATANAME.WD is replaced by the caption given to the
dataname for the current object being processed in the database, i.e. it could be nested
within a “with” block or a “for” loop, etc.
E.g. WD.CAP.RECOWNERLOC.WD will appear as Owner Location
Data
WD.DATA.DATANAME.WD - WD.DATA.DATANAME.WD is replaced by text
representation of the dataname property for the current object being processed
For example, on the record description template rec.htm, WD.DATA.RECOWNERLOC.WD
may appear as Storage Room, depending on what data is stored in the Owner Location in
the HP TRIM database.
