Portlet Factory, Version 6.1.2
Specifying values for builder inputs
You can specify values for builder inputs in multiple ways.
For example, you can use the input select box or text input control. Specifying values using these controls is straightforward. The IBM® WebSphere Portlet Factory Designer also uses several types of chooser controls for specifying input values for you to select resources.
The following dialogs display selectable elements as a tree from which you can choose. For example, the Choose File dialog displays a list of files or directories that contain files. Use these dialogs to navigate to the appropriate resource.
- Select Action
- Lets you select a method or page as the action to execute for an input. The Select Action dialog in the action list builder also allows you to select special actions.
- Data Page Field Chooser
- Lets you select the form elements whose fields will be formatted, such as fields provided by a date/time formatter builder.
- Choose File
