| | Wizards (tgwzr1500m000)The Wizards (tgwzr1500m000) session is used to create new wizards or to modify
existing wizards. A wizard is used to group a number of wizard steps. The
wizard does not contain any questions, but only shows a dialog box with an
introductory text and, when finished, a dialog box with an end text. The
questions can be found in the wizard steps of the wizard. Like most model items, wizards are version
dependent. To create a wizard, complete the following steps: - In the Wizard field, specify a name for the
wizard.
- If it is compulsory that the wizard is carried out in the
business function model, in the Mandatory field, select the value Yes.
- In the Owner field, select the LN user who created or
who is responsible for the wizard.
- Click Save
| Key fields for the Wizards (tgwzr1100s000) session | |
|---|
| Field and Action | Description | |
|---|
| Image | To illustrate the wizard, select a graphic representation shown
in the Wizard dialog box. | | | Start Text | Starts the text editor so you can define the wizard
start text. This text explains the function of the wizard, but does not ask any
questions, because that is done in the individual wizard steps. If no start
text has been defined, the first wizard step is directly shown when the wizard
is carried out. | | End Text | Starts the text editor so you can define the wizard
end text. This text explains the result of the wizard or indicates you have
completed all wizard steps. | | Help Text | Starts the text editor so you can define the wizard
Help text. This text explains the objective of the wizard. | | Execute Wizard | Carries out the wizard without actually setting the
parameter values. Run this to test if the wizard is created correctly. |
Wizard Steps (tgwzr2500m000) The wizard steps are used to ask questions and to receive input.
A wizard can have multiple wizard steps. Each step has one question and can
have a range of possible answers that can only be limited by the domain of the
parameter that must be set. Or you are referred to an LN session that must be
executed. To create new wizard steps or to modify existing steps, use the Wizard Steps (tgwzr2500m000) session. Furthermore, this session can be used to
modify additional data related to the wizard steps. There are two ways to create wizard steps: Note It is recommended you use the first user-friendly option to
create consistent and correct wizard steps. To manually create a wizard step: - From the Sessions (ttadv2506s000) session in the Zoom/Browse Session field, select a session, to which
you can zoom, and select a value from when you carry out the wizard.
- The values in the Return Field and the Show Field are defined automatically. The Return Field field is the value returned to the
parameter; for example, the employee code 1234. The Show Field field is the field displayed in the dialog
box to clarify the return field; for example, Mr. John Doe.
- In the Domain field, specify the domain of the data that
must be returned to the parameter. A domain determines some characteristics of
the Return Field field, such as data type such as string
or integer, the length of the field, and allowed values. If answers are defined
manually, this field cannot be modified.
| Key fields for the Wizard Steps (tgwzr2100s000) | | Field and Action | Description |
|---|
| Session to start | Select a LN session that can be started from the wizard step.
This session must be a multi-occurrence session so an LN user can add new
records. | | Business Process to start | Select a business process that can be started from
the wizard step. This business process can be used to specify data by working
through the activities included in the business process. | | Question Text | Starts the text editor you define the wizard step
question text. | | Wizard Constraint | Starts the text editor to define the wizard
constraints. | | Apply Constraint | Starts the text editor to define apply
constraints. | | Hint Text | Starts the text editor to define the wizard step
hint text. Unlike the Help text, which gives a direct explanation, hint text
directs users to the answer by referring to examples from obvious common
practice. | | Help Text | Starts the text editor so you can define the wizard
step Help text. Help text is used to explain the question in more detail, or to
place the question in perspective to parts of the reference or project model.
It differs from hint text, which advises about possible answers. |
Wizard Step Answers (tgwzr2120m000) To manually define answers for the wizard step,
use the Wizard Step Answers (tgwzr2120m000) session. Usually, the possible answers are set
automatically based on the domain linked to the parameter. But if an answer
results in setting several parameters, you cannot define just one domain for
this step. Therefore, to access this session, the Domain field in the Wizard Steps (tgwzr2100s000) session must be left blank. To make a wizard step that sets several parameters, use this
session to specify the answers. - Click Apply Constraint to start the text editor and define
what must be done for each possible answer.
- Because the Domain field in the Wizard Steps (tgwzr2100s000) session is blank, the domains for the parameters must
be included in the apply constraint.
Wizard Constraints To start the text editor and define a wizard constraint, in
the Wizard Steps (tgwzr2100s000) session: - Click Wizard Constraint; alternatively, on the appropriate menu of the Wizard Steps (tgwzr2500m000) session, click Edit Wizard Constraint.
Wizard constraints define which nonstandard actions must be
taken based on certain conditions. Therefore, a wizard constraint is only
required when the actions involve more than setting a parameter. For example,
if a certain question in a step is answered with Yes, another
nested wizard is started. Functions that are required in wizard constraints can be
included using the Use menu option Options - Start Zoomsession to zoom in rule condition option in the text editor’s Options menu. Example IF answer = 10
THEN
Start. wizard ("demowiz1")
ELSE
Start. wizard ("demowiz2")
ENDIF
If the answer on this wizard step is 10, then demo wizard 1 is started. In case another answer is given, demo wizard 2 is started. Apply Constraints To activate the text editor and define the apply constraints
of the wizard step, in the Wizard Steps (tgwzr2100s000) session: - Click Apply Constraint; alternatively, on the appropriate menu of the Wizard Steps (tgwzr2500m000) session, click Edit Apply Constraint.
Apply constraints define what must be done when you have worked
through the wizard steps and choose to apply the answers. Wizard step answers can be applied in the business function
model of a project model. When you have answered all wizard steps, the question
is asked if the answers you have given must be applied based on certain
conditions. The apply constraints are created automatically when parameters
are imported in the Wizards (tgwzr1100s000) session. If you have created
the wizard step answers manually, the apply constraints must be created
manually. Functions needed in the apply constraints can be included using
the Use menu option Options - Start Zoomsession to zoom in rule condition option in the
text editor’s Options menu. Example IF answer = 10
THEN fill. Parameter ("tdpur000.cspn.4", 950)
| First position number for additional cost sets
ENDIF
IF answer = 20
THEN fill. Parameter ("tdpur000.cspn.4", 900)
ENDIF
10 and 20 are the sequence numbers of the answers. The parameters get the value 950 if the answer is 10, and 900 if the answer is 20.
