Activate the state tab

This page helps you make the State tab accessible to your users, allowing them to see or edit their widget states.

The state tab

The State tab is part of an extension called advanced-extension, which comes with Atoti UI but is not activated by default. On top of the State tab, this extension also contains:

  • the Query context tab
  • the Text editor widget

To activate this extension, the solution depends on whether your UI is integrated in a Python or Java project or if it is served separately.

In a Python project​

To activate the advanced extension in a Python project and make the State tab accessible, refer to this page.

In a Java project​

Open the file at activepivot/src/main/resources/static/activeui/extensions.json and add the following entry into it:

  "@activeviam/advanced-extension": "extensions/@activeviam/advanced-extension/@activeviam/advanced-extension.js"

Rebuild your project, then run it. Clear your browser cache and refresh your page by pressing Ctrl + F5 for instance. The State tab should now be present in your application.

In a standalone Atoti UI​

Similarly, open the file named extensions.json at the root of your folder and add the entry mentioned above into it.

If it is not already running, start your server. Then clear your browser cache and refresh your page as described above. The State tab should now be present in your application.
