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?
Solved! Go to Solution.
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.

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?

Peter's suggestion is correct, but comes with conditions:
There are related feature requests along these lines:
If you feel these (or any issues) issues impact the usability of Integrity for you or your organization, please open a case with PTC Integrity Support to get your organization filed against the feature request: features without customers are very rarely implemented! All we ask is the severity of the issue (in terms of useability and estimated time/dollar impact), and what a resolution would mitigate.
Thanks,

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.
