Web Part Settings

The majority of the properties associated with a Data Display are view-specific. However, a few properties apply to the entire instance of the component. These properties are located on the Web Part Settings page, which is accessed via the Web Part Settings button on the Display Wizard’s Views page.

There are three sections on this page, described below.

Display Text

This section is used to define:

•      Display Title – The title that is shown to the end user at the top of the Grid Display.

•      Display Description – The component description that is displayed to the user in a pop-up when they hover over the Grid Display name.

Display Theme

This section is used to identify the color theme to apply to the Grid Display. Options are available to use the SharePoint color theme that is already applied to the page, use a custom theme file, or select one of the pre-built themes developed by CorasWorks. The default is set to the pre-defined theme called Elegant.

End User Help

This section is used to identify whether or not the help icon should be displayed to end users on the toolbar, web part menu, and in the display footer. It can also be used to bring the end user to a different set of online help. These properties do not affect the help displayed to builders in the Display Wizard.

•      The default is for help icons to be shown to end users.

•      The builder can choose to use the CorasWorks online help or point the component to help at a URL that they specify. The builder is responsible for creating and maintaining any alternative help that they specify with the Use help at this URL property.
