When viewing versions of an object, you might
want to hide the parts of the object that are not versioned. For example,
if the merchandising associations are not saved when a product version
is created, you might want to hide the Merchandising Association tab
when viewing the product version.
Procedure
- Locate the property definition of the part of the object
you want to hide.
For example, to hide the Merchandising
Association tab, locate the property definition in the
ProductPropertiesView.def file
as shown:
<PropertyTabPane name="productMerchandisingAssociationsTab" text="${catalogResources.productMerchandisingAssociationsTab}">
<!-- Property Pane: Merchandising Associations. This is an instantiation of the property pane class which contains merchandising associations details. -->
<PropertyPane baseDefinitionName="catProductMerchandisingAssociations"/>
</PropertyTabPane>
- Add an enablement condition to the definition.
For
example, to hide the Merchandising Association tab when viewing the
version of a product, you add the following code snippet:
<EnablementCondition
enablementValue="" propertyName="objectVersionId" conditionId="noObjectVersionIdCondition"/>.
The
complete property definition for the tab:
<PropertyTabPane name="productMerchandisingAssociationsTab" text="${catalogResources.productMerchandisingAssociationsTab}">
<EnablementCondition enablementValue="" propertyName="objectVersionId" conditionId="noObjectVersionIdCondition"/>
<!-- Property Pane: Merchandising Associations. This is an instantiation of the property pane class which contains merchandising associations details. -->
<PropertyPane baseDefinitionName="catProductMerchandisingAssociations"/>
</PropertyTabPane>
The enablement condition ensures
that the tab is not displayed when a version of the object is displayed.
- Save your changes.
What to do next
At a later date, if you choose to support versioning the
part of the business object that was hidden, remove the enablement
condition added to the property definition.
