2 Creating a Working Environment Template
2.1 WET Properties
A WET has the following characteristics:
Session Access Mode:
The Session Access Mode defines the way the application is opened:
• Public Workspace: the application opens at the current time and can be updated. All the updates are available for the end users connected in the same way.
• Private Workspace (default value): the application opens at the current time and can be updated. All the end user updates are kept private until the end user dispatches his work.
MetaPicture:
The MetaPicture defines the WET icon displayed in Hopex.
Standard Action:
(Optional parameter) The Standard Action defines an action that is frequently used in the Working Environment Topic Template definitions. When you define a Working Environment Topic Template, the Standard Action is automatically proposed in the action Connecting window (see Creating a WET and Defining a Navigation Menu (Working Environment Group Template)).
Session Connection Mode:
The Session Connection Mode defines whether the end-users share the same process (“Multi Session”) or not (“Single Session”, default value). If they share the same process, they must have the same view on the repository.
WET Specialization Assignment:
The WET Specialization Assignment defines the desktop type regarding its display. (E.g.: “Universal Desktop V6 WET Assignment” for Aquila type desktop).
_GUIName:
The _GUIName defines the WET display name in Hopex.
No Assignment Required for Working Environment Instance:
When No Assignment Required for Working Environment Instance is selected (by default) any Working Environment created from this WET automatically takes advantage of the entire WET description (Groups and Topics).
