Configurable Properties and Runtime Values
Runtime Value Types
There are several types of Runtime Values. Each one provides a way to define a value,
which, depending on the type and the way it is used, may or may not be bound to data
from the underlying system. A Runtime Value can evaluate to simple objects such as
strings, complex objects, lists of objects, or lists of lists of objects.
The following table lists the available types of Runtime Values. The concepts of
parameters and context, which are referred to in some of the descriptions, are explained
in “Parameters in Queries” on page 94 and “Context and the Context Tab” on page 122.
Null Renderer The name of a null renderer, which displays a value indicating
no data if the values in the associated bound data are null. See
“Renderers” on page 148.
Number value Any fixed numeric value, such as 123.45. Commonly used for
integer values. Properties that use this type include:
• Location
•Size
• Column or Cell Width (in pixels)
String A fixed text string, such as My Title. Commonly used for IDs,
which are used for flows, filtering and sorting. It can also be
used for simple text labels.
Properties that use this type include:
• Font sizes (The String Template Runtime Value type is
similar, except it accepts parameters that can be set at run
time.)
TimeRange A time range has a start and end time. Predefined time ranges
may be tied to the calendar or the current time. Custom time
ranges are open without restrictions.
Type Description
Context Selection Extracts a value from the Context, and can select parts of the
context using a path (see For more information, see “Context
Selection” on page 133.).
