IView
By implementing the IView interface (custom tabs), you can use it to display custom content in the request detail.
This can be a custom page in the ALVAO WebApp or, for example, an external parameterized link.
Caution:
A poorly defined custom bookmark can irreversibly damage the Alvao database, so always create and test on a copy of the database in a test environment.
Caution:
Pages that have disabled iframe display cannot be displayed in bookmarks.
Tip:
If the custom tab is to display a different page from the ALVAO WebApp, use the
Alvao.API.Common.DbProperty.WebAppUrl property from the
Alvao.API interface to get the root URL.
In the
application create a new script according to the
IView template and name it appropriately according to the content that the tab displays.In the newly created script, set the values of the id and name properties in the constructor of the command class:
- id - bookmark number (unique)
- name - the name of the bookmark that will be displayed in applications
Tip:
To store the properties and settings of the tab, we recommend defining the
Settings class in a separate script that you create from the
Class Library template.
