Tree View

User Persona: Application Designer

To meet this requirement, Sam can make use of the Tree View control. This control displays the parent category along with its associated subcategories in a hierarchical format, offering users a clear and organized view of the available services. 

By implementing the Tree View control, NovaTech ensures a seamless and intuitive browsing experience for its users within the Service Catalog.

General

Title

Type in a unique name for the tree.

Example: Category

Sub Title

The subtitle text is useful to give the user an idea of what kind of information they need to fill in.

Subtitle text appears directly beneath the control container. Use it to explain why a piece of information is being requested, address security and privacy concerns, or suggest ways of providing answers.

Render As

Selection Tree - Enables users to choose items from a hierarchical structure. Selection tree is mostly used by end-users to make selections.

Tree Builder - Field with a form that allows users to construct and configure hierarchical structures, such as organizational charts or category trees. Tree Builder is mostly utilized by Administrators to create and customize hierarchical data structures within the application.

Render Style

Inline - The Tree View control will appear inline within the drop-down. 

Pop-up - The Tree View control will appear as a pop-up on choosing this option. 

• Alphabetical (A-Z) - This option sorts your data in ascending order, starting from A and ending at Z. It is useful when you want to arrange text or names in traditional alphabetical order.
• Alphabetical (Z-A) - This option sorts your data in descending order, starting from Z and ending at A. It is helpful when you need to list items in reverse alphabetical order.

For the End User, values are automatically sorted according to the default criteria set by the Application Designer. However, the End User can change the sorting order using Collapse button.

Restrict field access

Enable this option to ensure that designated roles possess exclusive viewing or editing privileges for the content within the Tree View control, thereby restricting access to authorized users only.

For example: In a financial management system, only designated financial analysts or managers should have access to view or edit sensitive financial data entered in the Tree View control. 

Enable this option to ensure sensitive information remains secure and confidential by making it unreadable without the appropriate decryption key. 

For example: In a financial management system, sensitive information such as bank account details can be encrypted and only personnel with a decryption key can access the information.

Using this option, you can define from where the data should populate for the Autocomplete control. The available options are:
