Edit Type > Presentation Editor interface is antiquated

Apparently every aspect of every cell, field, value etc. has to be set manually and one-at-a-time. Is there anyone who can tell me a 21st century way of creating/editing these presentations/templates/items?

      Hi Bob,

      to get the template file form the Integrity database you can use the command

      integrity getdbfile --forceConfirm=yes --batch --hostname="<hostname>" --port="<port>"

      --user="<user>" --password="password"

      --output=<diretory+filename>

      data/im/issue/templates/<template name>.xml

      After editing the xml file you can write it back to Integrity using the command:

      integrity putdbfile --forceConfirm=yes --batch --hostname="<hostname>" --port="<port>"

      --user="<user>" --password="password"

      --input=<diretory+filename>.xml

      data/im/issue/templates/<temple name>.xml

      You'll find the "integrity" command (integrity.exe) within the "bin" directory of the Integrity Client installation.

      Regards,

      Peter

      Hi Bob,

      the Integrity Presentation files are in XML format (see attachment). I think you (and we all, too) nwill have to live with this editor ...

        Thanks for the reply Peter,

        Is there any way to edit the XML directly? On the server I can't find where it is stored...in files? in db itself?

        I would like to "pile on" to this constructive complaint.

        In the modern era of UI development, why aren't Cascading Style Sheets and standard HTML5 used to layout the UI? This "Presentation Template", and associated ViewSet construct, are antiquated, extremely limiting, and not nearly as flexible as developers need in order to create a UI that meets the usability demands of the end-users.

        It would be a simpler and more flexible design approach to allow people to use HMTL, JavaScript and CSS.

        -Sean.
