Entity Selector

The Entity Selector component is used to select Iotellect Server contexts, variables, functions, events and even specific fields within these.

Click here to check the difference between context tree visible in Entity Selector and real server context tree.

Content can be filtered so that only certain entity types are shown for selection.

The Entity Selector is used:

• By the Select Entities UI Procedure to select different contexts and their elements.

• To select contexts and context masks when editing context path/mask fields in a Data Table Editor.

• To insert standard references into expressions edited in the Expression Builder.

• To define binding targets and activators.

If custom icons are defined for different contexts and their parts, these icons are shown in the Entity Selector's tree. In all other cases the following icons are used:

	"Closed" Context (for context nodes which are currently collapsed).
	"Open" Context (for context nodes which have been expanded).
	Variable (Property).
	Function (note that these are different from Actions ).
	Event.
	Input field (for entering values for variables, events and functions). Description and type of field are shown.
	Output field (used by functions). Description and type of field are shown.
