Adaptive Forms

Class: GuideContainerNode

GuideContainerNode

new GuideContainerNode()

Class the encapsulates the functionality of the Root Node of Adaptive Form. Since there is only one root node, only one instance of this class exists in the scripting model.

panel :Panel

returns the rootPanel of the Adaptive Form

Overrides:

<readonly> items :Array.<GuideNode>

returns a list of children inside the component.

Each item in the array can either be a Field or a Panel

<readonly, nullable> shortDescription :String

The short description defined in the Scriptable object.

In AF, one can define short Description for the Fields. This API returns the short Description set on the Field. It is non null only for Field objects

Type:
  • String
Since:
  • 6.0
Inherited From:

<readonly, nullable> longDescription :String

Specifies the long description present in the Scriptable object

In AF, one can define long Description for the Objects. This API returns the long Description set on the Objects.

Type:
  • String

Inherited From:

visible :boolean

Visiblity of the Node. True if it's visible otherwise false.

Type:
  • boolean

enabled :boolean

Specify whether the component is enabled or not.

Type:
  • boolean

<readonly, non-null> name :string

Name of the node

Type:
  • string
Since:

Inherited From:

<readonly, non-null> somExpression :string

SOM Expression of the Node.

In Adaptive Forms SOM is a model to access fields and Panels. The SOM Expression provides easy access to the Fields and Objects through a straightforward syntax

Type:
  • string

Example
Considering the heirarchy,
-- guide
  -- panel1
  ---- field2
  ---- panel2
  ------ field3
the som Expression of field3 will be guide[0].panel1[0].panel2[0].field3[0]. The 0 here represents
the same name sibling index of that particular item in its parent. If panel2 has an additional child field3 as
  ---- panel2
  ------- field3
  ------- field3
The second field3 would have the somExpression guide[0].panel1[0].panel2[0].field3[1]

<readonly, nullable> title :string

Title of the element, localized as per the locale of the form.

Returns the localized version of the title. In case of Fields it is the Caption of the Field.

Type:
  • string
Since:

Inherited From:

<readonly, nullable> nonLocalizedTitle :string

Non Localized Title of the element.

Type:
  • string
Since:

Inherited From:

<readonly, non-null> index :number

Index of the Node among its siblings having the same name as itself

Every node in the Adaptive Form field has an index depending on the number of same named siblings that the node has before it. If the element has no same named sibling its index will always be 0.

Type:
  • number
Since:
  • 6.0
Inherited From:

autoSaveStart :boolean

variable whose value is set when autoSaveStartExpression is executed.Specifies whether autoSave has started or not

If the value is true, autoSaveStartExpression is deleted and a GUIDE_AUTO_SAVE_START event is triggered.

Type:
  • boolean
Since:
  • 6.1 FP1

enableAutoSave :boolean

enable/disable auto save functionality in Adaptive Form

Type:
  • boolean
Since:
  • 6.1 FP1

dorExclusion :boolean

Whether the object is excluded from DOR or not

The property specifies the exclusion of the field from document of record. If the value is true, then the field is excluded otherwise included in DoR. If excludeFromDoRIfHidden property is set at guide container, the value of dorExclusion is derived from visibility of field dynamically.

Type:
  • boolean
Since:
  • 6.1-FP1
Inherited From:

<readonly> isXsd :boolean

Whether the element is bound to XSD element or not

In AF, components can be bound to Schema(XML/JSON) or XFA elements. This API returns true if the component is bound to XML Schema false otherwise

Type:
  • boolean
Since:
  • 6.2
Inherited From:

<readonly> bindRef :String

Binding specified for the object

In AF, components can be bound to XML Schema or XFA elements. This API returns that binding. In case of XFA elements, it returns the SOM Expression of that element otherwise the XPATH of the element.
