Help With UI Scenario

Unknown

I had a quick question about the best way to handle our use-case using UI components with Decisions.

We need to have a dynamic list of elements and we need to have one editable field.

We are using a data grid with inline editor, but we really only want one field in each row to be editable.

Is the data grid the only option we have for creating a dynamic list of data with an input field, or are there other tricks available?

There are a couple options you can use to do this. The first option is to have 2 data grids side by side that contain the same input data. One grid is view only. The second grid only contains the editable field, so remove the extra columns and set that to inline edit. In my video I am using account data that I fetched from the system to show that I can only edit the email address.

The other option would be to use an external form that contains your code and HTML that can do this. Here is a document that may help you with setting this up.

Let me know if you have any questions about this.

Quick question on option #1, would there be a way to synchronize vertical scroll? We will often have enough elements that scrolling would be required.

For option #2, is there any way to have the HTLM/JS hosted on the Decisions platform? In our current use-case we are not able to have this part hosted completely externally.

Thanks

For the first one you might be able to configure it using a Horizontal split panel.

For the second option you can use the same server that you use for Decisions to host the external form.

Do you need anything else concerning your UI questions?

No sir. Thank you
