Inputs

The input page stores configuration information for data collection. Multiple inputs can be created on the Inputs page.

Developers are required to add services in the global config file to create a new Input. If multiple services are provided, a dropdown field will appear on the Inputs page. In contrast, a button will be displayed for a single service.

Properties

Property Type Description
title* string -
description string It provides a brief summary of an inputs page.
subDescription object It provides broader description of an inputs page.
menu object This property allows you to enable the custom menu feature.
table object It displays input stanzas in a tabular format.
groupsMenu array This property allows you to enable the multi-level menu feature.
services* array It specifies a list of modular inputs.
readonlyFieldId string A field of the boolean entity that UCC checks for each input. If the field’s value is truthful, the corresponding input cannot be edited from the UI. There is no way to change this from the UI; it is supposed to be changed via REST.
hideFieldId string A field of the boolean entity that UCC checks for each input. If the field’s value is truthful, the corresponding input is hidden from the UI. There is no way to change this from the UI; it is supposed to be changed via REST. Check out an example below.
