t_Screen_Composite

Composite : Portlet/Dialog

A container that displays its child views in columns - in the root of a portlet or dialog.

Description

Composites don't have much structure of their own. They don't introduce any visual noise. Using fewer of them is a good idea for simplicity and to avoid generating extra markup as they do introduce a new div for each composite.

Composites, Tabs, and Switches are container views. They contain other views and may contain each other to any depth. e.g. Composite->Tabs or Tabs->Switch->Tabs

In Portlets and Dialogs, they are mainly used to organize Layouts. In Layouts, they are mainly used to organize Controls e.g. Charts, Tables, Cards, ...

Properties

augment : uiIdentifier

A path to the view to augment with this view.

Augmentation rules depend on the types of augmented and augmenting views. When augmented view is a layout, such as Composite, Tabs, or Switch, and augmenting view is also of the same type, the children views will be added to the augmented layout. When both augmented views are layouts but of different type, the augmenting view is inserted next to the augmented one. When augmented view is primitive, the augmenting view is inserted next to it.
