Layout Adaptation

Control panel of the management platform responds to the two different formats by applying one of the following CSS classes when respectively the md or xs device mode is detected:

• ccp-md

• ccp-xs

Compare UI in two modes:

• In the md mode, a screen can display several views. In the following example, it contains:

  • Navigation panel

  • Add New Users view

  • Notification panel

  

• In the xs mode, the same views are displayed in different screens that a user has to switch to:

  

  Note

  In the xs mode, the menu icon on top right is used to switch to the navigation panel.

Vertical Alignment

By default, all widgets are aligned in a single column, since the default definition for a JS component is gridSize: "md-12 xs-12".

Grid Transformation

Grid Components and Properties

Recall, an aps/Grid widget usually contains definition of the following components.

• aps/Toolbar with aps/ToolbarButton widgets inside it.

• columns of different types influencing the responsiveness:

  • type: "resourceName" marks the column that will be rendered as a link directing a user to the view whose ID is specified by the apsResourceViewId property of the grid.

  • type: "icon" indicates status of the object presented by a row.

  • type: "label" has no affect on the md mode, but is used in the xs mode as the title of tile elements as described later.

    Warning

    A column of this type can contain text only, it should not contain any variables.

• selectionMode:"multiple" or selectionMode:"single" forces the grid to display the first column with check-boxes or radio-buttons respectively for row selection.

• Some buttons in a toolbar may require selection of at least one row - requireItems or requireSingleItem.

Transformation Rules

Transformation from the md mode to the xs mode complies with the following rules:

• Toolbar transforms as follows:

  • The buttons that require row selection by means of the requireItems:true or requireSingleItem:true property are missed out.

  • The other buttons are placed in a single column.

• A table looks like a set of tiles aligned in a single column. Each tile presents a single object and contains the following components:

  • Title is assigned the value from one of the following columns (the highest priority on top):

    1. The column with type label

    2. The column with type resourceName

    3. The first column in the grid

  • The values from the other grid columns are displayed in a list below the title.

• Neither selectionMode:"multiple" nor selectionMode:"single" has any effect, that is they do not force the grid to display check-boxes or radio-buttons for selection.

• All properties are arranged in two columns if the mobileLayout property is undefined.

• The first column of type icon indicates the object status. In the following example, the server state, either “Stopped” or “Running”, is visualized through a column of type icon.

  • Initial code:

    { field: "state", name: "State" },
    

  • Updated code:

    { field: "state", name: "State", type: "icon",
      renderCell: function(row, state) {
         return new Status({
            status: state,
            useIcon: true,
            statusInfo: {
               Stopped: {
                  "label": "",
                  "type": "danger"
               },
               Running: {
                  "label": "",
                  "type": "success"
               }
            }
         });
      }
    },
    

  

Disabled Auto-Height in APS/Tiles

In aps/Tiles containers, tiles in a row are auto-aligned by height in the md mode, but not aligned in the xs mode.

Disabled Breadcrumbs

In mobile devices, that is in the xs mode, the navigation panel looks differently and breadcrumbs are wrapped into an arrow that allows a user to get to the upper navigation level.
