Hi, and welcome back this will be session seven of MDriven designer overview
so in this session we should look a bit
about on images and files and really
the BLOB type let's check this attribute that we had a long before
used by it says,it isn't used by anyone,
so you can rename that to "picture" maybe and the type we do as a
BLOB type, when we have to find
an attribute as a BLOB type, we also get the BLOB type option to choose from here
it can be an image or it can just be a BLOB to keep the binary
information of some sort
in your database or it can be a xml symbol
why do we need to state what kind of
information it contains, well we don't really
we can just leave it blank,
but if we do, our view models can
make an assumption about, how to present
the information, so that's the main and
really the only reason to express, what's in this BLOB, I'm gonna say
"image" and so the house has an image
and if I double-click on the house
I can see that it's showing these
two view models to the house view
and I'm going to open that up and for that I want to add the
image picture and as before
add it like this, and then it was then
added for me where did it go, I can drag it out again, if I don't find it,
there is, so zoom in
so that doesn't look like much, but since it we know it will be
picture we should make it a little larger
maybe we should remove the presentation,
because this label here isn't doing
anything for us, just setting zero there
and then that one render, do it like that
and let's see what happens, if we just
leave it like this, if we head back to the
prototyper, refresh, view, show all houses, just pick up one house and then
I see a picture and I see a button with
three dots on it, which leads default to
a dialogue popping up and this is
actually, where I can upload a picture to my database
so I don't have one maybe I should find one
the image of house
save as house and then I gonna open it
like that, and then I have it there
the same state has changed
because now the data that forms that image
is actually in this attribute, so let's save that and there are errors
but I want to save anyway
okay, if I had set a read-only expression to make
it read only on a picture what should that really mean
well, let's find out, then you don't have
the button to allow for edit of the picture
so what we can do is I was wondering why that one still
shows, but I'm gonna null out the presentation
I'm gonna make it bigger still
like that, and then remove that read-only,
so the exact same way as treat pictures we would
treat any other type of file, that we
need to upload, but of course the files
won't have a visual representation
like the picture does, so if we had change
this one to this one, the BLOB type from
image to just BLOB, it would have rendered
just a button to upload a file
or link to download the file as well, and for the
xml symbol, it will try to look at the
data to see, if its compliant xml and
for the wpf implementation, that  we
use in the prototype and it will try to
render that. could be good to know
and let's try and have this picture
in the report, that we did in the
last session, so there it is,
but it's not in the report and we know that it should
probably be called picture, so we head back to
the report template, that we had
we want the picture to..., we want to
add it somewhere, we would just add
another picture let's see if I have something that isn't
gonna take, okay as just
an example picture to be a placeholder for the one
that we want and in this it is actually
as an alternative text, so what's the
alternative text. it's picture that the
save the report template and close it
and head back to that and refresh and
for Delsie Bad going to generate the bill
what I would have expected was this one
to be replaced I wanna see what , oh wait
a minute we are looking in the wrong
place, right even if we added a picture
attribute here, we haven't added to the
report yet, rent bill report right
clicking that to get some help, but I
can't get any help, because it's far away
still gonna call it a "picture"
get model access, gonna go to lease contract
from billable period to the house, so that's
the expression I need "picture"
I was definitely stumped by not seeing
the picture here, so I went off camera to
search for the problem and it turns
out that and I did this wrong and just
copy and paste, but it says it's a
collection of pictures billable period.allinstances.
lease contract.rented apartments.picture
that was not really the intention
the intention was self the one
that we start self.lease contract.rented apartments.picture
so having correct and refreshing
and  Delsie Bad...
an then we get the picture in our report
just like we expected to sum up we can do pictures and we can do
tables and we can do simple values
in opendocument reports of this word type
that means and what's also important
that we could do a table within the
other not a table - nested tables, so that
we could do and any type of structure
with tables and that is enough to solve
well I would say all of our reporting needs
since we have some time left in this session
I think we should look a bit on documentation
everything you point at here
has a code comment that's supposed to be
a small explanation to what it is that
you have designed, if you want to be
you decide how explicit you want to be,
how detailed you want to be,
place of living, maybe
and also the attributes,
methods and association also has this code comment
"This is an image of the house at the address"
or this owned by, maybe
owned by - association end and this is an owner,
so that's one way to increase the knowledge
available in your model
another way is to point at something
and go for this documentation tab
when you click that one you see that it has an edit box
with the more rich text editing capabilities
and this one points at house
this is where tenants live
if I were to point on anything else,
I could write for that and if I point back I get that text
and this is, of course, true for all
for all diagram types, so if I point that location
this is geographical place
maybe  want to underlined something
I like it big, like that, so that's the documentation tab
and once you have done that,
you may right click on a class
and go for and let's see,
if I can get that one screen functions, I don't think
I can get that one on screen
functions, publish documentation, and then
it thinks a bit and suggest to save it
what did I call this temp\demo
I get  that looks like this
so it has all the diagrams and all the extra text that I wrote
and the code comments are present
in this overview of the model
so that's another way to present
your model as an architecture document
of some sort when we come back in the next session
we're going to run all this in the cloud in turnkey
but to get that to work
we need a turnkey site, that we
can log into here, so if you're following along with this
it might be a good idea
to get yourself your very own turnkey site
ok see you next time, bye

Revision as of 21:58, 15 April 2017

Taking a look on images and files in UI and in report and word on extended documentation.  Creating Overview of the model xps file report.

To make your experience more comfortable, we set the main tags mentioned in the video to the right bar menu of this mini player. Choose the interesting subtitle on the list and immediately get to the exact theme timeplace in the video. Now you can pick any topic to be instructed without watching the whole video.
