UI Key

Introduction

UI Key serves as a placeholder for a common value to be used by its elements and it is dependent on the implementation of the elements such as UI Element.

How does it work? 

Usage of UI key

The UI Key is most commonly used when you need to restrict the content of your UI to a certain category/attribute in your application.

• The UI Key can be a department ID, meaning all the content inside the UI(record listing) would be based on the specific department.

• The UI Key can be a category ID in a support ticket system. All the content in the UI (ticket listing, add new ticket) will belong to the specific category.

How to set the UI key

The UI key is placed right before the element custom ID.

• Link structure:
  userview/[App ID]/[Userview ID]/[Userview key]/[Element Custom ID]

UI Form Element

You can use the UI Key in the UI Form Element to pre-populate a form.

Below is an example of pre-populating the department field in a form:

UI List Element

The UI List Element uses the UI key to pre-filter its records according to a specific column. To filter the listing, one only needs to specify the column ID.
