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
