Chapter goals & duration In this chapter you will learn the basics on how to install and |
...
configure Helium widgets. You will also learn where to find documentation, examples, installers & license. Expected duration 3h. |
Prerequisites
A 3EXPERIENCE env, tomee exploded web app… basic xml understanding…
Installation
Some high level conceptual info
3DEXPERIENCE dev env (TomEE 3dspace exploded web app)
“Issue” data
Basic XML & 3DEXPERIENCE / MQL understanding
(OPTIONAL) IDE - VSCode, Eclipse or similar

2. Installation result and basic Setup
By now the web resources should be installed into your target 3dspace server folder. Value Component basic behaviour is controlled by global properties (e.g production mode for performance or development efficiency) . Let’s have a look at the result in 3dspace.

4. Basic Configuration
The framework holds a wide range of configurable features. Let’s take a look at some standard basic configurations done in most implementations.
Table configuration, Chart configuration
Note |
---|
Folder structure notice Note that there is a difference between the structure of configuration xml references and the folder structure. Config reference: 'tvc:<CONF_TYPE>:<DOMAIN>:<SUB_1>:<SUB_N>:<FILE>.xml’ Folder structure: ‘tvc/<DOMAIN>/<SUB_1>/<SUB_N>/<CONF_TYPE>/<FILE>.xml’ |

Exercise 4 - Modify widget configuration |
Add an attribute column <docs link>
Using xsd schema and IDE validation support?
Add related data (assignee? or CR?) <docs link>
Add built in template fancy rendering example reference <docs link>
Modify data set to exclude closed issues? <docs link>
Add command using ootb service invoke <docs link>
Add priority pie chart <docs link>
It is recommended to TEST all below steps incrementally (refresh widget in dev mode)
Expected config result after exercise:
