Presentation configuration
- Dorian Port
- Paul Sugg
The v10 Swift MEAP™ Administration Console introduces a customizable display, which allows user to choose which columns, search fields, sort fields and detailed information are displayed when viewing report sections of the console. Report sections are those that include information on users / devices / records etc. These pages typically display a summary of information stored in the database, rather than functions needed to control the config. To prevent users from removing sections needed for mapping etc, configuration screens such as Module Mapping, do not allow users to adjust the presentation layer, only those showing summary information allow this change.
Pages which allow the user to alter the presentation layer, include the following views:
- Users
- Handheld Data - all pages except the summary screen
- DS Modules
- Queues - all pages within queues can be customized
- Administrator
- System Keys
- Device System Keys
- Device Messages
- CAD Management
What does the presentation layer control
The presentation layer allows you to control various elements of the display, allowing customers to exclude unwanted information or display additional details that were not available in previous server builds.
Presentation layer icon - opens the presentation layer options page allowing you to customize the display
There are four sections that can be configured using the presentation layer icon:
| Section | Description |
|---|---|
| Display fields | Columns displayed on screen when a user clicks on the menu icon or when a summary of search results are displayed. In the users page, the old V9 console included Email, PIN, Field Value, Language, Configuration Name, Cad Status and Device. |
Search fields | When clicking on the search icon in a view, these fields will be displayed as search options for your users. You can select which fields are used as default fields for searching, including fields from other objects. |
| Sort fields | In the search window, the last option displayed is 'Order by', which allows you to select which column is used for sorting when search results are displayed. This controls which fields are available in the 'Order by' dropdown selection box. |
| Pop up fields | This controls information is displayed when a user clicks on the 'more details' or 'more information' icon. When viewing the users page, this typically includes additional information such as Last Polled Date, Creation Date, Timezone, Application Identifier, etc |
