InstanceGridWidget

InstanceGridWidget Layout Configuration

This page provides a basic overview of the different configuration options that can be set in form of parameter-value pairs for the InstanceGridWidget (edu.stanford.bmir.protege.web.client.ui.portlet.propertyForm.InstanceGridWidget) in WebProtege.

The field_type parameter

The field_type parameter sets the "type" of a field (i.e. data cell) in the grid.
To clearly separate the content of the field from its presentation, and the way these values are edited, we have created separate parameters (field_value_type and field_editor) to control those other aspects of the field.

field_type

value	meaning
linkicon	shows a link icon, which provides a hyperlink to the URL represented by this property value
nolink	displays a URL without creating a hyperlink to it (which would be the default behavior in the absence of this parameter specification)
checkbox	shows a standard checkbox, where the checked checkbox represents the value "true" and the unchcheck checkbox represents the value false (or in case of non-boolean fields, any other value than "true"). Unknown values are represented with a checkbox containing a red question mark.
checkbox_important	uses a three-way checkbox to represent "Not allowed"-"Allowed"-"Required" states, as 0-1-2 values. This field type was introduced to support use cases provided by WHO, and is used in the ICD-11 editor, iCAT.
radio	a radio button can represent "true" and "false" states for a number of items, with the restriction that at any given time when an item is selected as "true" the other items will be set to "false".
combobox	a dropdown list of elements that can be selected as the value of the property
class_browsertext	shows the "browser text" of the class that is set to be as the value of the property This is the default field_type for "Class" and "Cls" field_value_types.
instance_browsertext	shows the "browser text" of the instance that is set to be as the value of the property This is the default field_type for "Instance" the field_value_type.
instance_property	shows the a given property value of the instance that is set to be as the value of the property.

Specifying this parameter is optional, as this information can be deduced from the ontology. However, the type information is not always calculated in the code (and is not sent back and forth between the server and the client). In those cases the default value is assumed, namely String.
The most interesting use case for specifying this parameter is to override the default value, and specifying an explicit value for it would help WebProtege to choose the right defaults for the field_type and field_editor parameters.

field_editor

value	meaning
ligh_green	light green

field_align

value	meaning
ligh_green	light green

field_bg_color

value	meaning
ligh_green	light green
