UI Properties

jmix.ui.app-window-mode

Determines an initial mode for the main application window – TABBED or SINGLE. In the SINGLE mode, when a screen opens with the NEW_TAB parameter, it completely replaces the current screen instead of opening a new tab.

Default value: TABBED.

jmix.ui.data-grid.default-column-max-width

Defines the maximum allowed pixel width of the DataGrid column when it is set to expand. It can be overridden for a concrete column using the maximumWidth XML attribute.

Default value: -1. The value of -1 means there is no limitations.

jmix.ui.data-grid.default-column-min-width

Defines the minimum guaranteed pixel width of the DataGrid column when it is set to expand. It can be overridden for a concrete column using the minimumWidth XML attribute.

Default value: 10.

jmix.ui.default-screen-can-be-closed

Defines whether the default screen can be closed by close button, ESC button or TabSheet context menu when TABBED work area mode is used.

Default value: true.

jmix.ui.default-screen-id

Defines a screen to be opened after login. This setting will be applied to all users.

For example:

jmix.ui.default-screen-id = sample_Order.browse

jmix.ui.component.entity-field-actions

Defines actions to be added to the selection component for the specified entity in generic mechanisms like Filter parameters or editable cells of Table and DataGrid.

For example, to use EntityLookupAction, EntityOpenAction and EntityClearAction in the components selecting the uiex1_City entity, set the property as follows:

jmix.ui.component.entity-field-actions.uiex1_City = entity_lookup,entity_open,entity_clear

jmix.ui.component.entity-field-type

Defines the component to be used for selecting the specified entity in generic mechanisms like Filter parameters or editable cells of Table and DataGrid. This component should implement the EntityPicker interface.

Specify the component’s XML name as a value of this property. For example, to use EntityComboBox for selecting the uiex1_City entity, set the property as follows:

jmix.ui.component.entity-field-type.uiex1_City = entityComboBox

By default, generic mechanisms use the EntityPicker component.

jmix.ui.composite-menu

When set to true, the framework will merge all the menu.xml definitions from all add-ons including your definitions in menu.xml and render the menu as a superset of all those items.

When set to false, your application menu.xml is the only menu that will be considered when rendering the menu.

Using false is a good idea when you completely control the menu entries that are rendered. It allows you to easily remove, change and reorder menu entries from, for example, the Administration menu.

The downside is that you have to copy all entries that you want to appear there. That is, the menu items inherited from the add-ons won’t appear in the menu, so you need to add them manually.

Default value: true.

jmix.ui.icons-config

Defines the icon sets to be registered for the application.

For example:

jmix.ui.icons-config=ui.ex1.icon.MyIcon \
ui.ex1.icon.FontAwesome5Icon \
ui.ex1.icon.NewIcon

The icons from the registered icon sets are displayed in the ICON SET tab of the Choose icon dialog.

Default value: MainScreen.

jmix.ui.max-tab-count

Defines the maximum number of tabs that can be opened in the main application window. The value of 0 disables this limitation.

Default value: 20.

jmix.ui.menu-config

Defines the path to the menu.xml file. The file is loaded using the Resources interface, so it can be located in classpath or in the configuration directory.

For example:

jmix.ui.menu-config = ui/ex2/menu.xml

jmix.ui.login-screen-id

An identifier of a screen to be used as login screen of the application.

Default value: LoginScreen.

jmix.ui.component.combo-box-page-length

Default value: true.

Default value: 2.

jmix.ui.component.filter-show-configuration-id-field
