View/Edit Modes

The "View" mode (new in ActiveUI v4.3.5) provides a simplified experience for business users who want to access key business information with no ability to apply undesired edits to the dashboards.

With the simplified "View" mode, you can:

• Browse existing bookmarks
• Automatically expand and filter data in the view
• Adjust presentation settings, for example change the column width

You would need to switch to the "Edit" mode, if you want to:

• Save changes, e.g. your new filters or layout changes
• Add widgets into the view, for example, an extra pivot table
• Edit dashboards, for example, add an extra page

The display mode is persisted per browser tab.

Switch Modes

The location of the toggle depends on a particular implementation, but in ActiveUI you can find it in the top navbar.

You will automatically switch to the "Edit" mode if you start creating a new dashboard.

Bookmark Access Rights

Since each bookmark can be assigned its own reader/writer settings, you can expect that:

• You can launch all the visible bookmarks in the "View" mode,
• However, you can use the "Edit" mode only for the bookmarks on which you have writer privileges.
• You cannot modify a saved widget in "View" mode.
• In "Edit" mode, you can add a saved widget on which you don't have writer privileges to your view.

If you attempt to load a read-only bookmark while in "Edit" mode, you will be forced back to "View". To change this behavior, please contact your development team.
