Configurable auto-refresh switching to structure perspective in Web UI

If a user was switching from another perspective (e.g. Catalogs ) to Structures, the list table view shows still the content of the previous module. Web users could benefit from this function enabling a direct classification of the corresponding objects (e.g. the listed items from the Catalogs perspective) to a desired structure group via drag and drop. Nevertheless, it may confuse users why the list table view is not automatically refreshed for the current Structures perspective. In order to provide a better user experience, this behavior can now be configured with a new property
web.client.structure.autoRefreshOnSwitch
in the
webfrontend.properties
. The default value is
false
, which means the default behavior remains the same. It can be set as
true
now however to enable auto-refresh of the UI.
In coming versions, this setting will be removed, and the auto refresh always enabled as new default, to have a consistent refresh behavior across all user interface sections.
webfrontend.properties # Specifies whether the structures perspective should automatically refresh its content by user switch from other perspective(e.g.Catalogs). # - If "false", structure perspective is not automatically refreshed by switch, so that user is able to select # an object from the previous perspective and assign it to the corresponding structure group via drag and drop. # - If "true", structure perspective will always refresh the main application area on user switch. # The default is: false web.client.structure.autoRefreshOnSwitch = false
