There is only one element required in this configuration file, this is the permission for the user group that is allowed to edit meta data files. When this display file is added, the toolbar of the Tabular Config Files display is extended with meta data edit functionality.
The toolbar contains XX 11 additional buttons with the following functionality:
| Only Show Errors: When Errors are found in the meta data, enabling this button will only show the meta data files and rows that have errors. Very much linked to the configurable meta data rules. |
| Only Show Edits |
| : When this button is pressed, the |
| non-committed edits will be filtered on. Only the meta data files and rows that have edits will be shown. | |
| Edit Mode: With the correct permissions it is possible to edit meta data. This button activates the edit mode. |
| Show Originals: Wen data is edited and not yet committed, the original values can be shown. |
| Revert: Edited values that are not yet committed can be reverted. The user will be asked to revert the selected row, the selected meta data file, or all meta data changes. |
| Refresh Config: When edits are made, the Delft-FEWS system can be updated to use this edited configuration |
| Commit changes to config dir: The edited meta data files will be copied from temp folder to the config folder. |
| Delete Row: Delete the selected row from the meta data table |
| Add Row: Add a new row to the selected meta data table |
| Cut: Cut the selected meta data table cells to the Clipboard |
| Paste: Paste the clipboard to the selected meta data table cells |
The meta data edit process is split in several editing and commit steps. This allows the user to first test meta data changes, before updating the Delft-FEWS configuration.
- When meta data values are edited, the changes are stored in the \temp\editedMapLayers\ folder. All files that are edited will be temporarily stored in this folder. In the Tabular Config Files Display GUI, all files that are edited will be shown in bold with (draft) as post-fix.
- After pressing the Refresh button, the meta data files in this \temp folder will be used by the Delft-FEWS application. The user can then check the changes made.
- After pressing the Commit changes to config dir button, the edited files from the temp folder will overwrite the original files in the config folder. It is then not possible to revert changes anymore or check the original values.
The updated meta data files will not only contain the updated meta data values, two additional columns are added with information on the user that made the changes and when the changes were committed.
