Menus/Actions Overview¶

menus: [] lists an array of menu items.

Each item can be configured as follows with some parts of the configuration being dynamic:

label helps user to identify the meaning of a menu item (web  Context Menu, mobile  Button in header of the detail section)
icon specifies the icon of an action.(mobile  slide left/swipe on an entry in the list view)
shortLabel (mobile  slide left/swipe on an entry in the list view)
scenario group actions together even when in separate trees
action specifies the type of action
actionValues are specifying special parameters corresponding to the listed action (see chapter Actions)
roles optional. Confines availability to the listed security roles
visibleIn optional. The visibility of a menu can be set to mobile or web. If not set, the menu is displayed. Possible values are "mobile" and "web".
```
"visibleIn": [
    "mobile"
]
```
swipeHidden Hides the menu action in insight-mobile's list swipe. (can also be set on clientProperties)
```
"swipeHidden": true
```
onlineOnly Menu actions with onlineOnly can only be executed online.
```
"onlineOnly": true
```
clientProperties
visible checks the attribute values of the record. If all hits the condition, the menu is visible. "*" is a wildcard for any value.
```
"visible": {
    "FOLDER": "true",
    "USER": "${userData.personid}",
    "GROUP": "\*"
}
```
tooltip: Displays a tooltip when hovering over the menu action's button. Insight Explorer only.
when specifies the moment an action can be triggered without user interaction, only valid for tree-level menu items
- "onInit" -- the first time a tree is selected
- "onSelect" -- every time a tree is selected
on specifies where the menu-entry should be placed:
- "top" -- on table header instead of context-menu

then Further action to be executed if the previous action was successful. Any number of actions can be linked, this can be achieved by another "then" property.

{
    "label": "Request and to list",
    "icon": "icon-site-map",
    "action": "request",
    "actionValues": [{}],
    "then": {
        "action": "goto",
        "actionValues": [{
            "dstTree": "demo-menu-flow"
        }]
    }
}

js can be used to implement a JavaScript validation function.
js Processing of the objects. Execute a Javascript function, that will get the objects as an array and return the object for the action as an array or a single object. If your js transforms multiple objects to one object and you want to call an action that does not support multiple objects please set an actionValue with "allowMultipleObjects" to true.

    "params": {
        "TEXT": "${WONUM} ${DESCRIPTION}"
    }
    }
]
}
```

TimeTrack¶

"timeTrack": Starts a time tracker on the current object. The time tracker will continue running even if you open other objects or trees in Insight. A running time tracker is visualized in the top right corner. Clicking on the time tracker icon will automatically navigate the user back to the item the timer was started on. Clicking the timeTrack menu action a second time on the active object will stop the time tracker and the time tracking result can be used in further "then" actions. If a time tracker for object a is active and at the same time another time tracker is started on object b, the time tracker on object a will be stopped and a new one started for object b.

The resulting object is available under $context.$timeTrack.duration.hours in the following "then" action. Available durations are "milliSeconds", "seconds", "minutes", "hours" and "days".

When the timeTrackStart contains a "then" action for "create" the time tracker will be applied to the newly created object after its creation. The time tracker is started when the create page is loaded and already running when the user fills out the object. Canceling the creation will also stop the time tracker.

ATTENTION: No time tracker can have a create action in the then part of the timeTrackStop if any timeTrackStart has a create action in the then part. In these cases the timeTrackStop must use a createForm and form with "mode" = "save" in the then actions (example).

You can also define a maxTrackTime for the tracker which will set the resulting duration object to the configured maxTrackTime, if the tracked time would exceed the configured time.

{
  "label": "Time",
  "icon": "icon-play",
  "action": "timeTrackStart",
  "actionValues": [
    {
      "maxTrackTime": 3600000
    }
  ]
},
{
  "label": "Time",
  "icon": "icon-stop-circle",
  "action": "timeTrackStop",
  "then": {
    "label": "Zeitrückmeldung",
    "action": "create",
    "icon": "icon-clock",
    "actionValues": [
      {
        "_node": "LABTRANS",
        "WONUM": "${WONUM}",
        "TRANSTYPE": "WORK",
        "LABORCODE": "${userData.laborcode}",
        "CRAFT": "${userData.defaultcraft}",
        "GLDEBITACCT": "1000",
        "PAYRATE": "${userData.defaultcraftrate}",
        "REGULARHRS": "${$context.$timeTrack.duration.hours}"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Browser¶

"browser": opens a new web page in a new browser tab.

actionValues:

"url": specifies the URL which can be opened. Context specific values can be added to the URL: '${ASSETNUM}'
"inTab": (inside-explorer only), when true open the defined URL using an iframe inside of the Insight-Explorer
"deepLink": specifies the URL_Scheme of another installed app. The app will be opened with parameters. Context specific values can be added to the URL: '${ASSETNUM}'

    {
        "label": "Fehlerhistorie",
        "shortLabel": "FH",
        "action": "browser",
        "icon": "icon-pie-chart",
        "actionValues": [
        {
            "inTab": true,
            "url":"insight/kibana/app/kibana#/dashboard/Stillstand?\_g=(refreshInterval:(display:Off,pause:!f,value:0),time:(from:now-15m,mode:quick,to:now))&amp;\_a=(filters:!((&#39;$state&#39;:(store:appState),meta:(alias:!n,disabled:!t,index:locations,key:properties.ASSETNUM,negate:!f,value:&#39;${ASSETNUM}&#39;)
            ...
        }
        ]
    }

          "actionValues": [{
          "deepLink": "schemeofapp://hello:world:${ASSETNUM}"
        }]

      {
        "label": "IBFS",
        "icon": "icon-browser",
        "action": "browser",
        "actionValues": [
          {
            "deepLink": "ibfslink://system/programm/${id}"
          }
        ]
      }

SearchThis¶

"searchThis" searches the current object in other trees.

From v2.11.1 you can configure in which trees the search is executed. Without any configuration the search is executed in all trees.

    {
      "label": "Search this",
      "action": "searchThis",
      "actionValues": [
        {
          "trees": [
            "locations-web",
            "locations-others"
          ]
        }
      ]
    }

Request¶

calls a remote REST/API endpoint

actionValues
payloadKey	key where the (JSON) response will be stored

request
url	absolute or relative URL to the http-endpoint
method	HTTP method to be used (POST, PUT, DELETE)
params	JSON Object of key/values
timeout	default: 60

{
    "action": "request",
    "actionValues": [
        {
            "payloadKey": "activity"
        }
    ],
    "request": {
        "method": "POST",
        "url": "insight/action/business-suite/activity/get",
        "params": {
            "activityId": "${$context.$record.properties.activityId}"
        }
    },
    "then": {
        "action": "request",
        "request": {
            "method": "POST",
            "url": "https://your-other-api.com/request",
            "params": {
                "result": "${$payload.activity}"
            }
        }
    }
}

Since Version 22.0.0 the request action has several defaults and improvements for easier configuration: - You may now emit the params object in the configuration, if you do not have any parameters to send. No dummy parameters are needed. - You may now emit the headers object in the configuration in Insight Standalone. The default (for Insight Standalone) is:

{
    Accept: 'application/json',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
}

You may now use a script tag in the request action configuration. Doing so will set the request method to POST as a default, but can still be overriden via the old configuration.
You can now break up long request url configurations in the script tag. The request url will be generated from these settings:

{
    "action": "request",
    "script": {
        "backend": "business-suite",
        "name": "my-script"
    }
}

You can additionally configure the params object in the script object as well:

{
    "action": "request",
    "script": {
        "backend": "business-suite",
        "name": "my-script",
        "params": {
            "id": "${id}",
            "user": "${userData.login}"
        }
    }
}

This action has no further configuration.

Please be adviced that this action should only be used during development and should not be deployed on live/production systems!

Form¶

"form" Shows a dialog on which the user can make inputs. The values are written to the record or a payload and can be used in further actions. Attributes of the node configuration are written to the record, "formField" attributes are written to the payload.

ActionValues:


"attributes"	Array of attributes that can be entered.
"mode"	Possible values are: "temp" or "save" (default)
"temp"	Write only in the record/payload
"save"	Saves the record

Shows an input dialog and sends the values to a http service:

{
"label": "Call API",
"icon": "icon-fire",
"action": "form",
"actionValues": [
    {
    "_tree": "my-tree",
    "mode": "temp",
    "attributes": [
        {
        "name": "DESCRIPTION"
        },

This is possible for the following actions: details, insert, mapOpen, kibanaOpen, tableOpen

To configure the tab-label the following part must be added to the first element of the actionValues. Possible variables are explained in the Working with variables/values chapter.

    {
      "label": "Show Details",
      "icon": "icon-aim",
      "action": "details",
      "actionValues": [{
        "tab": {

        }
      }]
    }

    {
    "label": "Öffnen",
    "action": "open",
    "icon": "icon-factory",
    "actionValues": [
        {
            "ga": "508:43425:BA",
        }
    ]

  "label": "In neuem Tab öffnen",
  "action": "open",
  "icon": "icon-arrow-up-right",
  "actionValues": [

„details" opens a detail dialog to present all of the listed attributes (if not "hidden": true)

    {
      "label": "Details",
      "shortLabel": "Details",
      "action": "details",
      "icon": "icon-question-circle"
    }

Details - Different configuration as source

It is possible to configure a different tree as source for the details view. The name of the nodes in both trees must be the same, otherwise the object cannot be fetched.

    {
      "label": "Details from different tree",
      "icon": "icon-aim",
      "action": "details",
      "actionValues": [

          }
        }
      ]
    }

Details - open path instead of object

It is possible to execute the details action without a record but by configuring a path, for example a path returned from a request action

    {
      "label": "Details returned path",
      "icon": "icon-aim",
      "action": "details",
      "actionValues": [
        {

          "tab": {
            "label": "Details: ${ASSETNUM}"
          }
        }
      ]
    }

Details - Table

The details view can show children in a table below the attributes of the object. To enable this table configure the attributes of the child/-ren in a list configuration. It's possible to enable multiple tables.

Example showing an Asset with its Location child

Select¶

An action to select one or multiple objects from a tree with root-nodes.

The initial list can be filtered.

A single selection can be done with a double click on an element.

The selected elements can be forwarded to the next action via then. They are accesible in $payload with the key selections or by the one specified with payloadKey. The result is an array of JSON-objects.

actionValues
tree	source tree for getting (root-)nodes
payloadKey	key the selections are stored for further processing
filter	attribute/value object to pre-filter (root-)nodes

Example

{
    "label": "Add Roles",

    "action": "insert",
    "icon": "icon-snow2",
    "actionValues": [
        {
            "ga": "508:40393:BA",

            "BAR": "bar"
        }
    ]
    }

KibanaOpen¶

Please refer to: Kibana Dashboards

MatrixOpen¶

"matrixOpen" opens a matrix view on the root nodes of a configuration.

Example

"menus": [{
  "label": "Matrix",
  "icon": "icon-user",
  "action": "matrixOpen",
  "actionValues": [{
    "tab": {
      "label": "Matrix"
    },
    "matrix": {
      "tree": "matrix-tree"
    },
    // optional to display a table alongside the matrix
    "table": {
      "tree": "matrix-tree"
    }
  }]
}]

TableOpen¶

tableOpen opens a details-like view on the root nodes of a configuration.

Example: Action to show all workorders

{
    "label": "Table with workorders",
    "icon": "icon-question-circle",
    "action": "tableOpen",
    "actionValues": [{
        "table": {
            "tree": "workorder-table"
        }
    }]
}

Table with Filter¶

Example: Action to show only workorders with an assetId referenced.

The filters are identical to those in the filter action.

{
    "label": "Table with workorders for an asset",
    "icon": "icon-question-circle",
    "action": "tableOpen",
    "actionValues": [{
        "table": {
            "tree": "workorder-table",
            "filter": [{
                "attribute": "assetId",
                "operator": "eq",
                "value": "${assetId}"
            }]
        }
    }]
}

Query-Params Filtering¶

To filter to nodes in the table the use of queryParams is possible.

Example: Action for an "Asset"-node to show all of it's workorders

    {
        "label": "Table with workorders for an asset",
        "icon": "icon-question-circle",
        "action": "tableOpen",
        "actionValues": [{
            "table": {
                "tree": "workorder-table",
                "queryParams": {
                    "myAssetSelection" : "${ASSETNUM}"
                }
            }
        }]
    }

Corresponding "workorder-table.json"

    "root": {
        "type": "WORKORDER",
        "query": {
        "constraint": "HISTORYFLAG=0 AND ASSETNUM in ( '${userData.myAssetSelection}' )",
        }
    }

The table view is linked by default which will add more nodes into the queryParam-selection list when you click them. The resulting sql can be configured as need, the query-params will be available as comma separated list of values, e.g. "AS-001", "AS-002", ...

For every queryParam configured a count will be available in the userData-object to reflect the amount of objects in the selection. In the example above there would be ${userData.myAssetSelectionCount} to be used in the constraint or anywhere else.

Column widths and alignment of table columns:

It is possible to configure the widths of the table columns by setting the style on attributes shown in the table. See "style" for further details

Tab¶

The tab-action allows you to control the behaviour of tabs in the Explorer.

Currently the action allows you to close a tab in any menu-flow.

Example, closes the currently active tab:

    {
      "action": "tab",
      "actionValues": [
        {
          "close": true
        }
      ]
    }

Example, closes the tab by its singleId:

    {
      "action": "tab",
      "actionValues": [
        {
          "close": true,
          "singleId": "someSingleIdFromAnotherMenu"
        }
      ]
    }

          "attribute": "OWNER",
          "value": "${userData.personid}"
        },
        {
          "attribute": "REPORTDATE",
          "value": "WEEK:-1",
          "label": "Last week"

Specific tree:

    {
      "label": "High prio",
      "icon": "icon-user",
      "action": "filter",
      "actionValues": [
        {
          "treeName": "my-tree",
          "attribute": "WOPRIORITY",
          "value": "1"
        }
      ]
    }

Geo¶

"geo" Gets the current position of the device. The result can be used in further actions.

Result of the Action contains the following properties:

longitude
latitude
accuracy

position -> The complete result of the API call to "navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition"

{
  "label": "Position",
  "icon": "icon-map-marker",
  "action": "geo",
  "then": {
    "action": "save",
    "actionValues": [
      {
        "LONG": "${$payload.longitude}"
      }
    ]
  }
}

BarcodeFilter¶

"barcodeFilter" Forces a barcode scan and passes the value in a JavaScript-Function. In the JavaScript-Function filters can be activated.

The action values are:

Clear -> (optional) clears all filter
js -> A Java-Script-Function to analyze the value of the scan and set filter. The function got the following parameters:
- Value: The scanned text
- UserData: The user profile of the logged in user
- Functions to add filters:
  - eqFilter(name, value)
  - notEqFilter(name, value)
  - likeFilter(name, value)
  - gtFilter(name, value)
  - gteFilter(name, value)
  - ltFilter(name, value)
  - lteFilter(name, value)
  - isNotNullFilter(name)
  - isNullFilter(name)
```
{
"label": "Scan",
"icon": "icon-barcode",
"action": "barcodeFilter",
"actionValues": [
    {
        "clear": true,
        "js": "eqFilter('WONUM', value.split('|')[0]); eqFilter('WOPRIORITY', value.split('|')[1])"
        }
    ]
}
```

barcodeDeepLink¶

The barcodeDeeplink action will open the users camera module and scan barcodes. The scanned result will automatically be handled as a deepLink. Example:

{
    "label": "Deeplink",
    "shortLabel": "Deeplink",
    "action": "barcodeDeeplink",
    "icon": "icon-paper-plane"
}

barcodeScan¶

The barcodeScan action will open the users camera module and scan a barcode. The scanned result will be available in the payload of the then action. They are accessible in $payload with the fixed key "barcode".

If the barcode contains a JSON string which should be parsed, the "actionValues" can be set with the "parseJson" option set to true. As default the barcode is only read as a string.

Example:

{
    "label": "Scan Barcode",
    "action": "barcodeScan",
    "actionValues": [
        {
            "parseJson": true
        }
    ],
    "then": {
        "action": "request",
        "params": {
            "result": "${$payload.barcode}"
        }
    }
}

NfcRead¶

"nfcRead" Forces a NFC scan and passes the result in the payload of the "then" chain.

The action result contains the following properties:

text -> String: The first entry of the NDEFMessages
id -> String: The id of the tag. (only supported in android)
nfcEvent -> Object: The complete result of the native NFC plugin.

Example:

    {
      "label": "NFC",
      "icon": "icon-broadcast",
      "action": "nfcRead",
      "then": {
        "action": "filter",
        "actionValues": [{
          "attribute": "DESCRIPTION",
          "value": "${object.$payload.text}"
        }]
      }
    }

    {
      "label": "NFC Filter",
      "icon": "icon-broadcast",
      "action": "nfcRead",
      "then": {
        "action": "scriptFilter",
        "actionValues": [{
          "clear": true,
          "js": "var desc = value.payload.text.split(&#39;|&#39;)[1]; eqFilter(&#39;DESCRIPTION&#39;, desc)"
        }]
      }
    }

scriptFilter¶

"scriptFilter" Can be used in "then" chains. The previous menu action passes the value object in a JavaScript-Function. In the JavaScript-Function filters can be activated.

The action values are:

Clear -> (optional) clears all filter
js -> A Java-Script-Function to analyze the value of the previous action and set filter. The function got the following parameters:
- Value: The passed object of the previous menu action.
- UserData: The user profile of the logged in user
- Functions to add filters:
  - eqFilter(name, value)
  - notEqFilter(name, value)
  - likeFilter(name, value)
  - gtFilter(name, value)
  - gteFilter(name, value)
  - ltFilter(name, value)
  - lteFilter(name, value)
  - isNotNullFilter(name)
  - isNullFilter(name)
```
{
"label": "NFC Filter",
"icon": "icon-broadcast",
"action": "nfcRead",
"then": {
    "action": "scriptFilter",
    "actionValues": [{
    "clear": true,
    "js": "var desc = value.payload.text.split(&#39;|&#39;)[1]; eqFilter(&#39;DESCRIPTION&#39;, desc)"
    }]
}
}
```

Select¶

An action to select one record by a selectFromTree configuration

The selected record can be forwarded to the next action via "then". They are accesible in $payload with the fixed key "selectedRecord". $payload.selectedRecord is the selected JSON-object.

    "label": "Choose template",
    "icon": "icon-list",
    "action": "select",
    "actionValues": [
        {
