Portlet Factory, Version 6.1.2
Builder call popup menu
If you right-click in the Outline view, you open a popup menu that lets you manage the builder call list and perform other operations on builder calls.
Some of the options in this menu are available only when a builder call is selected. This menu provides access to the following commands and actions.
- Open
- Opens a builder call and displays the builder call editor page.
- Cut
- Removes a builder call from the list and saves it to the clipboard
- Copy
- Saves a copy of the builder call to the clipboard.
- Paste
- Writes a copy of a builder call to another location.
- Undo
- Removes the effect of the last action performed in the menu.
- Redo
- Repeats the effect of the last action performed in the menu.
- Rename
- Changes the name of the selected builder call. You are given a list of resources that are affected by the name change and the option to change those resources.
- Insert
- Places a builder call in the list once the builder call editor is configured and saved by clicking Apply or OK.
- Select all
- Selects all builder calls in the list (usually for copying and pasting).
- Delete
- Removes a builder call from the list.
- Enable
- Activates a builder call that is disabled.
- Disable
- Deactivates a builder call. The builder call remains in the list, but the builder that it represents does not operate on the model during regeneration.
- Refresh
- Displays the current state of the builder call list.
- Show Elements in Application Tree
- For the selected builder call, highlights the location of the associated elements in the Application Tree view so that you can easily locate them.
- Convert
- Changes a builder call from one type of builder to another type of builder. Multiple choices can appear.
- builder-name
- Names of builders appear as separate choices if the system can readily convert to that type of builder or the builders were classified as likely targets for the conversion.
This menu choice is useful to convert a builder to a similar type of builder that has nearly equivalent inputs. For example, to convert a Button builder to a Link builder, or a Page builder to an Imported Page builder.
- Convert to
- Opens the Builder Picker window, in which you can select a builder.
In general, builder conversions should involve builders in the same category. For example, between converting from one type of builder to another within the Pages category or within the Page Elements category. Do not attempt to convert builders that are radically different in nature or design.
Inputs of the original builder are preserved and, where appropriate, intelligently applied to the new builder. For example, the Button Label input value is applied to the Link Text input. All inputs of the original builder are added to the new builder call editor.
