Viewing and editing panel sources

The Panel sources window (RiSE > Panel Designer > Panel sources) is a centralized hub for managing panel sources. This window displays each panel source alongside its parent type and whether the source is multi-instance, and it allows you to add, edit, or remove properties from custom sources without the need to edit a panel.

Note: Out-of-the-box sources and properties are read-only and cannot be adjusted. Additionally, you cannot edit or remove ordinal properties, which are automatically generated for multi-instance sources.

To view and manage panel sources, do the following:

1. Go to Rise > Panel Designer > Panel sources.
2. Select a source to view its properties.



The following information is displayed for each property:

• Property Name – Select the name to view and edit the property. System properties and ordinal properties are read-only and cannot be edited or removed.
• Property Type – The type of date stored for the property; String (Text, Email, URL), Integer, Boolean (True/False), Date, Monetary, Binary (File uploads), or Decimal.
• Length – The character limit for string properties. The maximum number of characters for this field is 4000, however, indexing will be disabled if the number of characters exceeds 400.
• Log All Changes – Whether logging changes is enabled for the property. For more information, see Logging changes to panel data.
3. To add properties from this window, see Adding properties to panel sources.
4. To remove properties, click the delete icon, then click OK. Upon deletion, the property is removed from all panels, and data based on the property is no longer available.
5. To edit a property, select the Property Name.
6. The name and type are read-only and cannot be adjusted. The following adjustments can be made to the property:
• Enter a new IQA display name. This value updates the Prompt for field value in the related Business Object, which appears as the property name when the business object is used in a query. For more information, see Business object designer field reference.



• (Text properties only) Increase the Length. The new value cannot be less than the existing length.

Note: The maximum number of characters for this field is 4000, however, indexing will be disabled if the number of characters exceeds 400.



• (Text properties only) Update the explicit value list or textbox size
• Enable property indexes
• Enable logging changes
7. Once you finish adjusting, Save & Close the property. The changes are immediately available in all panels that use the property.
