NIM

Buttons are most often used to launch actions within a form, such as submitting data, launching actions within a target system, or moving backwards and forwards through multiple forms.

Checkboxes allow end users to select multiple options from a given list. The items may be entered manually through the item's Value property, or provided by a filter through the item's Table property. The selected items are stored in a variable as a comma-separated list of strings.

Date fields present end users with a calendar, from which they can select a specific date. The selected date is stored in a variable in YYYY-MM-dd format.

Dropdowns allow end users to select one option from a given list. The items may be entered manually through the item's Value property, or provided by a filter through the item's Table property. The selected item is stored in a variable as a string.

An empty column fills up empty space within the form's column layout. These are useful if you want a form item to be displayed in the third column of a row, but have nothing but whitespace in the first two columns. This form item accepts no input and provides no output.

Grids display table data from one or more filters. The columns of the table are configurable through the grid's properties. End users may select a row of data, the cells of which can be stored in variables for use elsewhere in the app.

A grid control item helps end users navigate between different grid views. It provides a breadcrumb-like navigation using the display name of the grid views that users can interact with to go back to one view or another.

A grid search item provides end users with a search box that filters items within a grid. Unlike the grid's built-in search box, the grid search item can be placed anywhere on a form.

An image item displays an image from the file system. Available images are stored in C:\ProgramData\Tools4ever\NIM\config\images. Administrators may add additional images to that directly to make them available in NIM apps.

The name-value list items displays a table of name-value pairs. These pairs can be configured through the Items property of the name-value list. Values can be either static text, or they can be javascript that is evaluated when the form is initialized.

The panel item displays a dashboard of all applications to which the end user has access. It only does this if its Apps property is enable.

The progress bar item can display a visual cue to the end user of how far they are through a process. The value displayed on the bar is configurable through its Value and Value Maximum properties. These properties evaluate javascript upon form initialization to display the progress bar. For example, if Value is set to "50" and Value Maximum is set to "100", the progress bar will be half-way full.

Radio buttons allow end users to select one option from a given list. Unlike dropdowns, however, each item is displayed on the page. The selected option is stored in a variable for later user by the app.

A separate inserts a horizontal rule into the form. This gives a visual indicator that that two parts of the form are separate. This form item accepts no input and provides no output.

The static text item allows app developers to display text within the app's form. The text can be formatted as a paragraph or a heading. Despite its name, the static text item can dynamically display text by evaluating javascript upon form initialization through its Text (Evaluation) property.
