Overview
Construct Pages allow you to view, manage, and interact with data across multiple panels. It supports full Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) operations. Access to each operation is governed by the WebApp Group security settings configured for the WebApp, Construct page, and users access level.
Navigate the Page
Access the WebApp menu in the top-left corner to navigate between pages, and to links external to Cloud Construct.
Switch to different modules in the Syniti Knowledge Platform (SKP) using the Syniti Applications menu in the top-right corner to quickly switch between modules.
Working with Multi-Panel Layouts
Construct Pages supports flexible and multi-panel layouts, and you may encounter pages with more than one panel depending on the Construct Page design and security configurations. Each panel can contain one of the following:
A data grid
A form linked to a data grid
A chart
A chart linked to a data grid or form.
Panels are resizable. Click and drag the divider between them to adjust their size. Expand a panel as needed for improved visibility or focus.
Unified Add All/Edit All Mode
Unified Add/Edit All mode lets you enter data across all containers in one flow instead of opening and saving each separately. Click Add All to create a new record or Edit All to modify an existing record in the parent grid container. All related containers open in edit mode together, so you can make your changes and save once.
Refer to Using Unified Add/Edit All Mode for more information.
Page Configuration
Administrators and Business Administrators can:
Access the container's configuration in the WebApp Builder by clicking the Configure in WebApp Builder button.
Access the page's configuration in the WebApp Builder by clicking More Actions (...) > Configure Page in WebApp Builder in the top-right corner of the page.
Administrators can view log messages filtered to a specific page by clicking More Actions (...) > View Logs on that page.
Audit History
Users working with the audit-enabled container can view audit history directly from the record. The Audit History dialog box displays a chronological history of changes for the selected record, including:
User who made the change
Date and time of the change
Action taken, such as insert, update, or delete
Record changes with before and after values
Event Status
If a Grid or Form is tied to one or more events, the Status column/field displays the status of the last event run. When executing an event on a particular record, this column allows you to track the event's progress in real-time.
Clicking a record's status value in the Status column/field displays any validation or error messages from the last event run. However, this only allows you to rerun the OnSave (OnValidate) event.
Grid
Grid display data of your tables or views in a table format, allowing you to quickly filter and interact with data based on your permissions.
Filter records: Select the Column Filter button in a column header to apply filters. Filter options depend on the type of data in the column (for example, text, number, or date).
Sort records: Select a column header to sort the data in that column in ascending order. Double click a column header to sort in descending order. Press the SHIFT key and click the required columns header to perform multiple sorts.
Show/Hide columns: Use the Column menu > Choose Columns to show or hide the required columns in the Grid display.
The Column menu has additional options to interact with a column. Refer to SKP Grid Searching, Sorting, and Filtering for more information.
Click Add Row to insert a record, double-click to update it, or click the Delete button to remove a record from the dataset.
Insert mode displays a blank record to create an entry.
In the update mode, select a record to update its value.
Note
A few fields in a record are not updatable, meaning that those fields have a default value and/or has the control status disabled for the update mode.
Interactive CRUD Grid: When you add, update, or delete a record, a corresponding icon appears in the leftmost column of the grid to indicate the action taken. You can also undo changes made to a record.
When you have completed the required actions, click Save to trigger the OnSave event, which validates the records.
Form
A Properties card or Form provide detailed information of a record selected in a grid based on its configuration. You may also see a Form that display information from a different dataset related to the dataset in the Grid. This configuration aids in providing references to the dataset that you are working on.
Click Add, Edit, or Delete to perform the required action.
Charts
Charts provide an intuitive way to visualize key performance indicators (KPIs), trends, business metrics, quickly understand data, and gain insights.
You can drill down into a chart to explore detailed information or navigate to linked pages, if available.
Charts may also be connected to other components such as grids, forms, or additional charts, allowing data to update or be viewed dynamically across the interface.
