Overview
Pages can optionally have a left sidebar displayed. This can include:
- A logo image
- A login panel displaying login, role and tenancy information with Logout and Home buttons
- A list of Apps with clickable links to open the Apps
- A Page navigation menu
- Lists of favorite, recently viewed, recently modified and watched items
- Instant Selections to filter records on pre-defined conditions
Show left sidebar
Show left sidebar (True | False).
The Show left sidebar attribute determines whether the left sidebar is shown.
In the App Settings, the Left sidebar visible setting in Page defaults determines whether newly created pages have a visible left sidebar or not.
Note: the left sidebar is not displayed on Mobile client phone Apps.
Collapse left sidebar
Collapse left sidebar when the App is first loaded (True | False).
Here, the Show left sidebar attribute is checked (true), but so is the Collapse left sidebar.
The left sidebar is not shown until the 'SHOW' tab is clicked.
Clicking the 'HIDE' tab will hide the left sidebar again.
In the Web/Mobile client (browser/tablet) clicking the right border of the left sidebar allows it to be hidden or shown.
In the Web/Mobile client the Collapse left sidebar attribute is ignored, so if Show left sidebar is true, the left sidebar is displayed when the App is first loaded.
The left sidebar can also be hidden/shown using the showdocument() function or the Lianja.showDocument() method:
Lianja.showDocument("page:customers?action=hideleftsidebar")
Lianja.showDocument("page:customers?action=showleftsidebar")
Note: in the Web/Mobile client the Page must start with a visible left sidebar (Show left sidebar attribute) to use the hideleftsidebar/showleftsidebar actions.
