TVC Helium 2019.3.0 Release Information

New functionality is added that allows you to launch your device’s camera, to perform scanning of QR, EAN and DataMatrix codes. A command can be configured to initiate the scan and (optionally) get control once the camera detects a code.

The default behaviour, should you not configure your own callback, is to open the object page if an objectId is detected, and otherwise launching a search for the scanned string.

For more information, see Scan QR/ EAN/ DataMatrix Codes section.

It is now possible to launch a specific Helium widget "standalone" in any browser window, (i)frame or container, by using its routable URL. Routing to widgets is typically used when embedding a single Helium widget in another application, e.g. 3DExperience/3DDashboard, or when combining with TVC Classic. Read the embedding chapter for more details.

Example showing a specification widget with a context:

When routing to a widget the Helium page is rendered without the topbar menu and the widget rendered as headerless.

Especially multi line attributes that otherwise render as textareas, can sometimes benefit from allowing Rich Text (layouted text/HTML) input as well.

This can be easily configured by setting the <FieldType>richtext</FieldType> tag. Example:

Hint: you may want to disable Table In-Cell-Editing for attributes containing HTML, and instead launch a Form, as showcased in the video above.

Helium now supports multi value attributes for FieldTypes select and checkbox, when the attribute is defined as multivalue at schema level in Enovia/3DEXPERIENCE.

Form fields with range values can now have a customizable Delimiter character. This allows Select/Range fields to contain values that includes a comma, for example “Springsteen, Bruce”. The default delimiter is the pipe (|) character.

There is now a command <ExpandAll /> to fully expand all nodes in a structure table. The command can be added to the table widgets' toolbar.

It is possible to add configurable CSS classes to columns in the column XML, use <Setting> with class as the name and the custom class names as value, separated by spaces. These settings are described here

Then in your custom css, you can target column level styling, e.g.

You can also specifically target a column’s header or body with th/td, e.g.

Result:

User can now save search criteria using the saved search functionality. Saved searches can be loaded to fill search criteria on the search form. User can also directly launch a search by clicking on find icon.

Now Serie supports Expressions which support multiple Expression elements to select the data. This data can be used to provide custom data to the chart.

Below example shows how you can compare two series that were both selected via Expression elements.

The built-in filtering feature in History Widget now automatically highlights matching entries, similar to the existing highlighting feature for Table and Tile Widgets.
