Homeplaces (Target Selectors)

Select the appropriate subsystem.

Type the relevant sort key that is used to sort the target selectors so that the system evaluates the target selectors in the order that you want.

If the sort key is not specified then, the system uses the first target selector it hits in no specific order.

Type a name for this target selector.

Select the information types the target selector applies to.

If you want the target selector to apply only to a single domain, select this domain here. If no domain has been selected, the target selector will apply to all domains.

Select the appropriate target selector rule. This specifies whether to traverse upwards in the document structure, or not, when deciding which target selector to use. This may be relevant if you want to display a subdocument using the target selector for its parent document.

Available options:

• Use the homeplace for the current document: Use the target selector of the document itself.
• Use the homeplace for the parent document: Use the target selector of the document�s parent document. If not defined, use the target selector of the document itself.
• Use the homeplace for the top document: Use the target selector of the upper most document related to the document.

Used to create URLs to a different domain. e.g a document link displayed on intranet.com should be opened in internet.com

Select destination type for the homeplace. You can choose between a target, a iKnowBase Page / Oracle Portal page (will not transfer any parameters), a constant url or a menu,

If you want the target selector to point to a iKnowBase target, select this target here.

If you want the target selector to point to a iKnowBase page, select this page here.

If you want the target selector to point to a Oracle Portal page, select this page here.

If you want to go to a specific URL, type the URL here. You can specify the URL in three ways:

• Enter an absolute URL, starting with http://. The specified URL will be used as is.
• Enter a relative URL, starting with /, to avoid hardcode of domain. The / will be substituted by the current domain. Example: /ikbViewer will produce http://www.example.com/ikbViewer.
• Enter a relative URL, starting with #, to call a pl/sql procedure. The notation is <provider>. procedure where procedure should be replaced by the name of the pl/sql procedure. The <provider> will be substituted by the current domain and the appropriate provider. Example: <provider>.portlet_manage_redirect.redirect will produce http://www.example.com/pls/portlet_manage_redirect.redirect

If you want to go to the destination specified by a menu, select the menu used to lookup the destination here. Note that you must also select an attribute for the property Attribute to specify menu item, to be used for looking up the destination.

At runtime, when looking up the destination for a document, iKnowBase will find the value of the specified attribute, and find the menu item for that attribute value in the specified menu, and go to the specified destination.

If you want to go to the destination specified by a menu, select the attribute that you want to use for menu lookup.

A selector for SQL parameters. Select the appropriate attribute by clicking the link.

A selector for document attribute. Select the appropriate attribute by clicking the link.

You can deselect by clicking the x-arrow infront of the attribute.

Clickable icon for deleting the attribute

Displays the names of the selected attributes to use as conditions for the target selector.

If set, the condition is not used in the validation. Normally used for debugging issues.

Used for performance reasons for advanced users. Will generate a SQL with either IN or EXISTS.

Select the appropriate conditions for the selected attributes. The conditions depend on the type of attribute.

Select the appropriate values for the selected attributes.

Displays the type of parameters selected for the target selector.

The following parameter types are supported:

• Value from iKnowBase attribute: Select the iKnowBase attribute which contains the value you want to pass on to the parameter. The value is looked up from the document which is being evaluated by the target selector. Use this type if you want to pass a document attribute value as a parameter. The value is looked up from the document which is being evaluated by the target selector.
• Constant: Use this type if you want to pass a constant value as a parameter.
• Value from url: Use this type if you want to pass a value from a URL parameter as a parameter.
• Function: Use this type if you want to run a database function to look up the value to pass as a parameter.

Define the order of the parameters.

You can define up to nine parameters.

This property depends upon the parameter type:

• Value from iKnowBase attribute: Select the appropriate attribute.
• Constant: Type the constant value
• Value from url: Type the name of the URL parameter.
• Function: Select the appropriate database function. The function must be defined as a Database Function to be available for use.
