Hi Dojo,

I am using the Interactive Automation Toolkit to design the UI of an Interactive Automation Script.
Looking at the example below, is it possible to "fix" the Create button to the top/bottom of the window and only make scrollable the text boxes, so the Button is always visible?

Thanks

Hi João,

As far as I know this is not possible yet.

Some things that you can do to make it more user friendly:

  • Make different pages/sections to group that data. Make sure that every page has the Create button.
  • Add the Create button also on top so that users don't need to scroll down in case no additional data is needed.

Hi João,

I was thinking, instead of setting all these fields in an IAS, maybe another option could be handling them in the Profile Manager? For example, you can create a profile definition that will contain profile parameters referring to each setting that you are listing in the IAS. Then a user will need to set values for these parameters in the Profile Manager instead of the IAS. I believe the Profile Manager offers a more friendly UI for this task.

Based on this update, the IAS will only list the profile instances available on the system. A user will only need to choose a profile instance for your workflow.

Thanks for the suggestion Miguel.

Unfortunately that will not work for this use case.
This script will be triggered via a HyperLink in the alarm console and the fields are prepopulated according to alarm/element properties.
The point of the IAS is for the user to change any value if he wants to, or just create without change.
