Object standard Properties pages
In the extension provided below, there is no customization relating to Properties pages of defined MetaClasses.
However, when you explore an object of this metamodel, you will find that it has a Properties window already structured.
Example with MetaClass Firm:
1. Login to HOPEX with the HOPEX customizer profile.
2. Run the explorer from the desktop .
3. If no Firm has previously been created, select Explore > Create and select the Firm MetaClass.
4. Display Properties of this object.
This MetaClass contains only two "business" MetaAttributes: Name and Comment.
• The name has been automatically entered in the Characteristics tab, which is the main tab of the object.
• The comment is located in the Comment tab, designed to host all MetaAttributes of Text type (varchar).
 
General tab already includes subtabs which have been automatically inserted by HOPEX.
The Administration subtab groups non-business MetaAttributes of the MetaClass, which are automatically associated with the latter.
The Translation subtab handles the issue of translatable attributes.
Other subtabs are added automatically according to standard roles played by the MetaClass.
 
Note: administration MetaAttributes are marked with a flag in their extended properties.
 
You can see that as standard:
• MetaAttributes of the MetaClass are grouped according to their type.
• Tabs are associated with attribute groups.
• Standard roles of the class (for example inherited from abstract classes) can produce to tabs.
Note for example that the Impacts page appears as a function of behavior of MetaAssociations of the MetaClass relating to the "Impact" operator.
• Automatic tabs are inserted (for example History and Rules Application tabs).
