Base Updates (Bulk Update)
As all components and layout in the Base View are inherited by the extending Views, all updates performed in the Base View are populated to the extending views.
If the extending views have already overwritten the configuration or the layout, the update is ignored in the extending view. This makes updating the Base a powerful way to change general patterns in the application.
Take a look at the following examples:
Update Layout
Assume that the KPI List should be removed for all Process Cockpit Views.
 |
Navigate to the Base View “Process | Base” and click Edit Mode.
Navigate to the KPI list and click on the “eye” saying “Hide section”.
Click Save and leave the edit mode.
If you navigate to the extending views (e.g., Excess Stock), you will see that the KPI list is gone.
Update Components
The process for updating components works very similarly. So let’s assume you want to adjust the KPI list not to show some KPIs.
 |
Navigate to the Base View “Process | Base” and click on Edit Mode.
Navigate to the KPI list and click Edit Component.
Click Hide for the items you want to hide.
Click Save and leave the edit mode.
If you navigate to extending views, you will see that all extending views show only the KPIs defined in the base view.
Extension Updates (Content View)
While the updates in the Base views provide potent updates to the general structure, it is still important to customize the individual view to show the most relevant information.
While the App does not do this out of the box, it is entirely possible to have different layouts across tabs.
If specific views should be updated individually, navigate to the Tabs folder and look for the respective view.
