Extending an existing Page Model (Extending a Standard Page)

Standard application pages in IFS Aurena can be extended with both Custom and StandardEntities. Custom LUs are created and administrated in IFS Enterprise Explorer and Standard LUs are the LUs modeled during the development phase. Steps how to add Logical Units to standard IFS Aurena pages are described in this section.

Add a Custom Entity to an IFS Aurena Standard Page

The Custom Entity created needs to be added to the Projection that the IFS Aurena standard page is based on.

• Step 1 is to find out which projection this is: 

1. Go to the application page in IFS Aurena
2. Open the User Menu in the upper right corner
3. Click on Debug: Enable Debug Console
4. In Page Info tab, the Projection name is provided:
    

   

• Step 2 is to go to New Projection Configuration assistant and configure the Projection. (Refer for more Information Projection Configurations)
 
• Step 3: go to the application page to add the Logical Unit information to it:
  

1. Go to the Application Page and open the Aurena Page Designer.
2. To create a list with the Logical Unit Attributes: in the Library Section, create a new List. Set the Logical Unit as Entity and set Name and Label to the list.
   
3. In Libraries, expand the newly created list and set the Datasource to the list:
   
   
4. Stay in the list and add content to it. In this example MyTestList has two Custom Fields to be added.
   
   
5. In the Active Page section of the Page Designer, add the List element to Content and set Datasource:
   
   
6. Save and Publish the configuration. The List based on attributes from the Logal Unit is now added to the IFS Aurena Standard Page.
   
   

7. If the records needs to be filtered in the list depending on the Master Detail Relationships users can use Associations. (Refer how to configure Associations using Page Designer Building Master Detail Relationships)
