Introduction

Advanced Tools can be found inside the Form Builder, Datalist Builder, Userview Builder as well as the Process Mapper.

Addon Builder plugins also have access to this feature.

Get Started

The easiest way to see how to access the Advanced Tools is to use the existing built-in App Expenses Claims. Here are the steps:

1. Start the Joget Server and open the App Center.
   
   
2. Log in as admin and click on the pencil icon on the Expenses Claim to open the Design App. (see Figure 1)

3.Click on Expense Claim New and you will be directed to the Form Builder.

4.Click on Advanced Tools on the top right.

5.In Advanced Tools, you will find 6 tabs in all the builders mentioned with the exception of Form Builder and Process Mapper (see Figure 3).

1. In Form Builder, the additional tabs are Table and Tooltip.
2. In the Process Mapper, there is only one tab which is the i18n Internationalization

Advanced Tools Properties

Tree Viewer

The tree viewer in the first tab provides the app designer with the overall structure/definition view so that one can easily spot any anomaly and fixes it immediately without too much hassle and time spent.

Clicking on the edit (pencil) icon on the right of the node allows one to configure/edit its properties right away. Upon saving the properties, the tree viewer will refresh itself.

Permission

The Permission tab provides the app designer with fine-grain control over managing the permissions of each individual element in the builder.

Clicking on the "Add Permission" button allows one to configure the permission rule for a role/group based on a permission type (see Figure 7).

For each Permission rule added, determine which element will be visible for the selected role under the Authorized column.

Visibility controls differ based on Builder types (see Figure 6, 8 & 9)
