The User Interface Editors are organized in a hierarchical structure containing four levels. The top level is called a Tab. Admins can create one or more Tabs. Beneath a tab, admins can create one or more Groups. Beneath a group, admins can create one or more Elements. Beneath the elements, admins can create one or more Fields.
The four levels of structure are required, meaning a field can not be created without a tab, a group, and an element. Fields can only be created under an element.
Labels are optional. All levels must exist to create a field, but the decision to use labels is more of a preference that impacts how the data is presented and organized in the User Interface. For example, if a group does not have a Label, it will not appear with a name in the dRofus User Interface.
The image below is an example of the organization within the User Interface Editor for Room Data.
-
Top Menu. From the menu, an admin can add and delete Tabs, Groups, Elements, and Fields. Fields can be converted to different types when the field is first selected.
-
Navigation. Navigate through tabs, groups, elements, and fields by expanding the tree structure.
-
Properties. Each tab, group, element, or field has its own properties. These properties control the appearance and logic of the hierarchical items (tabs, groups, elements) and the various field types.
-
Preview. The preview shows how the User Interface will appear for the end user. Changes made are instantly available for all users.
