Note

• If you try to start a module with Class = 4 "Normal" data editing to which no data areas are assigned, the module data area assignment was not found message will be displayed.

DI006624 Grid line

This parameter defines whether in modules with hierarchic structure (tree structure), e.g. the Schedule module, grid lines are to be displayed in the areas of the structure tree. The effect of the parameter is controlled via the client-skin setting. If the respective client parameter (HideTreeStructureLines) is activated, the Grid line parameter is activated. If the client parameter is deactivated, the activated Grid line parameter does not take effect.

Details

In PLANTA Standard, the client parameter is not activated, hence, in normal modules with tree structure, no grid lines will be displayed. Modules with graphical structure display (data areas with DA class = 11), e.g. WBS module, are exempt from this. The Grid line parameter must be activated for these modules and its effect is independent of the client setting. See also Customizing of a Module with Graphical Structure Display

The Grid line parameter can only be used in combination with the activated Tree structure parameter.

DI006623 Tree structure

Here you can define for the module whether areas for which the Tree parameter is activated are to be indented automatically and thus give a representation of the hierarchic structure.

Details

• If the Grid line checkbox is activated in addition, the grid line will be displayed between the areas in the structure tree additionally.
• If the Grid line checkbox is not activated, only the +/- symbols of the tree structure will be displayed.

Note

• Both parameters, Tree structure and Grid line , must be activated in the modules with graphical structure display, e.g. WBS . See also Customizing a Module with Graphical Structure Display

DI001788 Zoom W1 - W3

Defines the zoom factor in a module

DI001958 Width W1

Width of window 1 The value specified here, is no size specification. The value merely serves to calculate the window width, i.e. the window share of the total screen width.

Details

• The calculation is done as follows: Share W1 = Width W1 : (Width W1 + Width W2 + Width W3 ).

Example

• Width W1 = 20, Width W2 = 20, Width W3 = 40 means that window 1 1/4, window 2 also takes up 1/4 and window 3 takes up half of the screen.
  • The same relation can also be reached through other absolute numbers. E.g. Width W1 = 100, Width W2 = 100, Width W3 = 200

Note

• If an arbitrary numeric value is specified for one of the three windows, this means that only the respective window will be visible and its size will correspond to the total screen size.
• If the Width W1 field is filled but has no Window = 1 in the module, window 1 is displayed (empty) anyway.
• In order to prevent too much free window space after width calculation, the window width will additionally be adjusted to the width of the actually displayed windows.
• I.e.: If the required width is less than the width due to the shares specified, the width of the windows is adjusted to the width actually required. If the required width is greater, the width is displayed according to the shares.
  • Example: if the values in Width W1 and Width W2 were to result in a window split of 50% / 50%, while window 1 only requires 25% due to the width of the displayed data fields, window 1 will be adjusted to a width of 25%.

DI001959 Width W2

Width of window 2 The value specified here, is no size specification. The value merely serves to calculate the window width, i.e. the window share of the total screen width.

Details

• The calculation is done as follows: Share W2 = Width W2 : (Width W1 + Width W2 + Width W3).

Example

• Width W1 = 20, Width W2 = 20, Width W3 = 40 means that window 1 1/4, window 2 also takes up 1/4 and window 3 takes up half of the screen.
  • The same relation can also be reached through other absolute numbers. E.g. Width W1 = 100, Width W2 = 100, Width W3 = 200

Note

• If an arbitrary numeric value is specified for one of the three windows, this means that only the respective window will be visible and its size will correspond to the total screen size.
• The Width W2 field must be filled if at least one data field in the module has Window = 2.
• If the Width W2 field is filled but has no Window = 2 in the module, window 2 is displayed (empty) anyway.
• In order to prevent too much free window space after width calculation, the window width will additionally be adjusted to the width of the actually displayed windows.
• I.e.: If the required width is less than the width due to the shares specified, the width of the windows is adjusted to the width actually required. If the required width is greater, the width is displayed according to the shares.
  • Example: if the values in Width W1 and Width W2 were to result in a window split of 50% / 50%, while window 1 only requires 25% due to the width of the displayed data fields, window 1 will be adjusted to a width of 25%.

DI001960 Width W3

Width of window 3 The value specified here, is no size specification. The value merely serves to calculate the window width, i.e. the window share of the total screen width.

Details

• The calculation is done as follows: Share W3 = Width W3 : (Width W1 + Width W2 + Width W3).

Example

• Width W1 = 20, Width W2 = 20, Width W3 = 40 means that window 1 1/4, window 2 also takes up 1/4 and window 3 takes up half of the screen.
  • The same relation can also be reached through other absolute numbers. E.g. Width W1 = 100, Width W2 = 100, Width W3 = 200

Note

• If an arbitrary numeric value is specified for one of the three windows, this means that only the respective window will be visible and its size will correspond to the total screen size.
• The Width W3 field must be filled if at least one data field in the module has Window = 3.
• If the Width W3 field is filled but there is no Window = 3 in the module, window 3 will be displayed (empty) anyway.
• In order to prevent too much free window space after width calculation, the window width will additionally be adjusted to the width of the actually displayed windows.
• I.e.: If the required width is less than the width due to the shares specified, the width of the windows is adjusted to the width actually required. If the required width is greater, the width is displayed according to the shares.
  • Example: if the values in Width W1 and Width W2 were to result in a window split of 50% / 50%, while window 1 only requires 25% due to the width of the displayed data fields, window 1 will be adjusted to a width of 25%.

Note

• The blue color of the listbox frames in the standard has the symbol ID 001975.

DI056952 Python module subclass

In this parameter, the path to the existing Python module subclass is stored.

Details

• On part of Python, a module can be an instance of a particular class instead of the module standard class.
  • The module adopts all methods from the module sub-class.
  • Thus, methods that are required in several modules do not have to be defined in the macro of each individual module but in a single module sub-class. This sub-class is then assigned to the modules.
• The directories in the path must not be separated by "/" or "\", but by ".".
• The path is relative to the Python directory of the server installation,
• It is recommended to store the module sub-class in the "ppms.module_subclasses" directory.
