4.2.8 Visibility and display settings for properties
You can set whether to display a property in each JP1/AO window or whether the value and display settings can be changed, by using a combination of visibility and display settings of the service property. However, you cannot set these for variables.
Visibility of properties
You can set visibility for a service property. If you specify visibility for a property, you will be able to display or hide the property in JP1/AO operation windows.
You can display properties in the following JP1/AO operation windows:
-
Create Service window
-
Submit Service window
-
Task Details window
-
Shared Properties Settings area
For example, you can set to hide properties (that users who submit services do not need to know) from the Submit Service window.
Note that the output properties of services are displayed in the Task Details window only.
You can set visibility of the input property of a service in the Property tab of the Service Builder Edit window. You can set Edit and Submit Window or Edit Window Only for visibility of a property. Visibility is fixed for output properties. You can set (by display settings) whether to display output properties in the Task Details window.
