Before you start

In order to test and use this Widget, you will need:

1.Bizagi Studio previously installed.

2.This specific Widget previously installed, either as described at https://help.bizagi.com/platform/en/index.html?widget_xchange.htm, or as described at https://help.bizagi.com/platform/en/index.html?widgets_manualinst.htm.

Data model considerations

In order to use this Widget, you need in your data model two string type attributes:

•The first one holding the complete dictionary of words or phrases (categories) from which users will be able to choose existing tags.

Such available tags should be separated by comma, and you should make sure that these are previously populated.

•The second one to store the tags either selected, or created as brand new.

These will be also stored separated by comma.

Important

This Widget fetches tags from a source string attribute as described before, and saves applicable ones for each case into a different target string attribute (separating them by using commas).

It is recommended for you to make sure that you continuously feed any new tags into the source string attribute (you may do so by relying on business expressions in Bizagi).

Similarly, you may choose to give an additional treatment to the saved applicable tags in the target string attribute so that you can break down the complete list separated by commas, possibly into records of a collection.

Properties configuration

In order to configure this Widget once it is installed in your project, include it in any form and set it properties in the Forms designer, just as you would do with any other type of Bizagi control.

Tags_forms

Consider the following properties.

PROPERTY	POSSIBLE VALUES	DEFAULT VALUE / SUGGESTED
Data binding Read	A sting type attribute which holds the dictionary of possible tags available to choose from.	Not applicable. This property is mandatory.
Data binding Save	A sting type attribute which will store the list of tags inputted.	Not applicable. This property is mandatory.
Display text	Choose to show an input field to specify, in case its not stored yet.	(none)

note_pin

Notice all Bizagi controls and Widgets, enable a visible property which allows you to set if that control should be displayed in a given form or not (e.g, by using a business rule).

This Widget is designed both as editable and read-only.
