Group Properties
This property defines basic options of a group.
Field Description | Field Name | |
Group Name. Name of the group context, required to refer to this group from other parts of the system. It should satisfy the context naming conventions. | name | |
Group Description. Textual description of the group. This is also a description of the group context. | description | |
Enable Auto-replication. Enables auto-replication for this group. | autoReplication | |
Hide Members From Primary Location. If this flag is enabled, group member contexts are shown inside the group, but not shown under their parent context. This is a mapping feature that affects only the visual representation of the server context tree (e.g in System Tree). Components that show a real (non-mapped) context tree (e.g. Entity Selector) will show group member contexts at their real locations specified by context paths. No children will be visible under the group context in this case. Members are not hidden from primary location:  Members are hidden from primary location:  | hideMembers | |
 | If a certain context has more than 1000 child contexts, working with it in various Iotellect UI components may cause degraded performance. In this case it's highly recommended to distribute child contexts into several groups and enable Hide Members From Primary Location option for them. | |
 | You can use this property to remove disabled contexts from the system tree without deleting them permanently. Create a group with this property enabled and move the disabled contexts to this group. The contexts will be removed from their primary locations in the system tree but will still be available if you want to restore them later. | |
|---|---|---|
Show Member Count. If this flag is enabled group member count will be shown next to group description in round brackets. | showMemberCount | |
Validity Expression. Determines which context(s) may be automatically added to the group. See Dynamic Groups and Resource Validity for more information. | validityExpression | |
Validity Update Rules. A list of context masks and event names. If event specified by Event field of this table occurs in any of context matching to the mask specified by Mask field in the same record, Validity Expression will be recalculated for this context. This feature is used for automatically adding/removing a certain context from a group if some changes occur in it. | validityListeners | |
This property may be accessed via the childInfo variable.
