Screen operations editor

The screen operations editor is the default editor provided by the Enterprise Service Tools perspective for editing screen operations files (scopScreenOps.wsdl).
The editor is started in the editor area when you create a new screen operations file or when you open an existing screen operations file in the EST Project Explorer.

The screen operations editor has the following views:

Editor area
The editor area has two tabs:
  • The Actions tab of the screen operations editor displays an image of the application screen that is associated with a selected item in the Outline view (see Actions tab).
  • The Source tab allows you to modify the XML text that specifies the screen operations file. See Source tab
Outline view

The screen operations editor uses the Outline view to display the contents of the screen operations file in a tree format. Each screen operation is displayed as a node of the tree. Each screen operation contains a Screen Interactions subnode and a Next Screens subnode.

Each Screen Interactions subnode contains zero or more screen interactions, with the default names Interaction 0, Interaction 1, Interaction 2, and so on. Each screen interaction contains one or more actions.

Each Next Screens subnode contains a list of zero or more screen descriptions.

You can access all features of the screen operations editor by right-clicking an item in the Outline view and then selecting a menu entry from a popup menu.

Modify Next Screens window
The Modify Next Screens window allows you to add screen descriptions from the Available Screen Descriptions list to the Next Screen Descriptions list or to remove screen descriptions from the Next Screen Descriptions list to the Available Screen Descriptions list.

You open this window by right-clicking the Next Screens tag of a screen interaction in the Outline view and then selecting Modify Next Screens.

Properties view
The Properties view displays the properties of actions and screen interactions that you have selected in the Outline view.

You can change the value of a property by clicking the property in the Properties view.
