3.1. Breaking Change: SearchConfig Interface

The java interface SearchConfig has been renamed and moved.

Before Now

Interface Name

SearchConfig

SearchDefV1

Package

com.technia.helium.config

com.technia.helium.config.v1

Qualified Name:

com.technia.helium.config.SearchConfig

com.technia.helium.config.v1.SearchDefV1

The change effects projects that have implemented custom search providers. Follow the steps below to resolve the problem:

  1. Remove the import com.technia.helium.search.config.SearchConfig

  2. Add import of com.technia.helium.search.config.v1.SearchDefV1

  3. Change data type from SearchConfig to SearchDefV1 for the last parameter in method search(). Example:

public class AcmeSearchProvider implements SearchProvider {

    @Override
    public Result search(Context context, Criteria criteria, SearchDefV1 def) {
        // Code performing search
    }
}

This has been done in order to make preparations for the new search.

To print the content of widget, the print method of App.Widget JS API can be used. Command can be used either in widget toolbar or header actions.

Example:

In Widget Toolbar

<Command>
	<Label>Print</Label>
	<OnClick>App.Widget.print</OnClick>
</Command>

In HeaderActions

<Command>
    <Label>Print</Label>
    <Setting name="OnClick" value="App.Widget.print" />
</Command>

5. Open Dashboard in Sidepanel

A new JavaScript API, App.page.sidepanel.openDashboard() is available that allows opening up a dashboard in page’s sidepanel, e.g. App.page.sidepanel.openDashboard("tvc:dashboard:hex:engineering/PartInfoSidePanel.xml", "1.2.3.4");

This could be used for e.g. to quickly see contextual information about an object without navigating back and forth.

The feature is currently supported for a dashboard having form and table widgets.
