Suitable Field Types | Editor/Renderer Code | Description | Options |
All Field Types | list | List Editor. Renders fields that have Selection Values as a list of radio buttons instead of usual combo box. This editor will not work properly for fields that have Extendable Selection Values flag enabled. | None allowed. |
Date | date | Date Editor. Allows to specify only date for Date fields. Time specification is not allowed. | Time zone to use for date visualization. Custom time zones can be specified in the string form, e.g.: GMT-8 GMT-08:00 America/Los_Angeles
|
Date | time | Time Editor. Allows to specify only time for Date fields. Date specification is not allowed.  The time editor doesn't preserve year, month, day and millisecond values of any timestamp being edited. Those parts of a timestamp can be set to any unspecified values after editing.
| Time zone to use for time visualization. Custom time zones can be specified in the string form, e.g.: GMT-8 GMT-08:00 America/Los_Angeles
|
Integer | spinner | Spinner. Renders a spinner next to the numeric text box allowing to increase/decrease values using a mouse. | None allowed. |
Integer, Long, Float, String | bar | Progress Bar Renderer. Displays a progress bar indicating current field value. The highest value of the bar is specified by Editor Options. | Options string will be interpreted a numeric integer maximum value for a bar, i.e. its high limit. The low limit is always zero. If no options are defined, the maximum value is assumed to be 100. Example: 10000. This options string will force the bar to render values in range from 0 to 10000. |
Integer, Long, Float, String | bytes | Bytes Renderer. Interprets the field value as byte count or byte rate and renders it as: number of bytes, kilobytes, megabytes of gigabytes, OR number of bytes, kilobytes, megabytes of gigabytes per second
| Options string will be interpreted as an Integer value and used as follows: 0 - field values will be rendered as Bytes, Kbytes, etc.
1 - field values will be rendered as Bytes/s, Kbytes/s, etc.
2 - field values will be rendered as Bit/s, Kbit/s, etc.
|
Long | period | Time Period Editor. Allows to specify a time period as a combination of a Time Unit (from milliseconds to year) and the number of Time Units entered as a number. The resulting field value is number of milliseconds. | Options string must have the following form: MIN_UNIT MAX_UNIT. MIN_UNIT and MAX_UNIT are minimal and maximal integer unit types to be used when rendering or editing the period. Available units are described here, Week and Quarter units are not supported. Example: 1 3. This options string will allow using only seconds, minutes and hours for rendering/selecting the period. Milliseconds will be omitted. Values greater than one hour will still be rendered in hours. |
Long, String | foreignInstance | Foreign Class Instance. Allows each instance of the class to reference a specific instance of another class. If this editor is used, the field value will contain the ID of an instance of the class indicated in the Storage Context editor property. Provides a method for selecting from, browsing, searching, sorting, and filtering, a list of instances of the foreign class. | Storage Context. A storage context to browse objects/classes in. View. Defines which view will be used to detect shown column list, filtering rules, and sort order. Available only for classes. If a Custom view is selected, it's possible to define Class, Columns, Filter and Sorting options. Table. Type/name of object those instances can be selected. Most storage contexts provide access to a single object, in this case only a single option will be available in this field. Delete Constraint Rule. Indicates the constraint to apply to delete operations on a foreign key referenced by this field in the underlying relational database. Typical behavior for each of the constrain options is described below, however, refer to the documentation for the specific database system being used, since different systems may implement these constraints in different ways. Cascade - if a referenced record (record with the foreign key) is deleted, all records which reference the deleted record will also be deleted. Null - if a referenced record is deleted, this field will be set to Null for all records which referenced the deleted record. Default - if a referenced record is deleted, this field will be set to its default value for all records which referenced the deleted record. Restrict - the database system will prevent the deletion of referenced records if they are referenced by this field. No Action - functionally similar to Restrict, except the referential integrity check is done after trying to alter the table in some database systems.
Update Constraint Rule. Indicates the constraint to apply to update operations on a foreign key referenced by this field in the underlying relational database. Analogous to Delete Constraint Rule, however it is applied for operations when the foreign key would be updated (changed). Typical database behaviour for each of the options is described below, but refer to the database system documentation to determine the exact behavior. Cascade - if the primary key of a referenced record is updated (changed), the value of this field will be updated to match the new key. Null - if the primary key of a referenced record is updated, this field will be set to Null for all records which referenced the updated record. Default - if the primary key of a referenced record is updated, this field will be set to its default value for all records which referenced the updated record. Restrict - the database system will prevent any changes to the primary key referenced records if they are referenced by this field. No Action - functionally similar to Restrict, except the referential integrity check is done after trying to alter the table in some database systems.
Reference Field. Defines what column (field) will be used as a foreign key. Columns. Defines what columns (fields) will be shown in the instance selection dialog. Filter. Defines an instance filter. In filter expressions you can use environment variable '{env/sourceInstance}' as a source class instance, from which we refer. Sorting. Defines sorting order. Dashboard. Defines which dashboard should be opened if a selected class instance if clicked. The selected dashboard should be adopted to visualize instances of Class. Icon. Defines ID of icon that should be shown next to the selected class instance.
|
Integer, Float, Double, String, Long | instance | Class Instance. Allows the keeping of a reference to the current class instance in the field. If this editor is used, field value contains an ID of an instance of the class specified in editor options. | Storage Context. A storage context to browse objects/classes in. Table. Type/name of object those instances can be selected. Most storage contexts provide access to a single object, in this case only a single option will be available in this field. Dashboard. Defines which dashboard should be opened if a selected class instance is clicked. The selected dashboard should be adopted to visualize instances of Class. Icon. Defines ID of icon that should be shown next to the selected class instance.
|
Integer, Float, Double, String, Long | formatString | Format Mask. Allows characters to be specified for the decimal separator and the thousands separator, as well as the degree of decimal precision to be displayed. | Format Mask. The thousands, hundreds, tens, and unit digits and any number of decimal places are indicted by the number sign #. Separators can be indicated by comma (,), period (.), or a space ( ) . When a single separator is used, it is interpreted as the thousands separator. When two separators are used, the rightmost is interpreted as the decimal separator (radix character), and the leftmost as the thousands separator. Consider the following examples displaying the number 12345678.1234: The format mask # ###.# will display 12345678.1234 as 12 345 678.1 The format mask #.###,## will display 12345678.1234 as 12.345.678,12 The format mask #.### will display 12345678.1234 as 12.345.678

It provides more space for editing longer values and has scrolling capabilities. | Options string will be interpreted as a numeric integer number of characters to show in the main table (i.e. until the text opens in a separate dialog). By default, 30 characters are shown. Example: 100. This options string will cause first 100 characters of the string to be shown in the table. |
String | etextarea | Embedded Text Area Renderer. Uses text area component appearing inside the table cell to render multi-line text values. | Options string will be interpreted as a numeric integer maximum number of characters to show in every line of text area. If the text is longer, more lines will be added to the text area. Default number is 20. Example: 50. This options string will cause rendering of text area having width enough to display 50 characters and height enough to fit the whole text. |
