Oxygen XML Forum

We completed a prototype with Oxygen and learned a few things on the way. One think we noticed is that the right pane - which includes the Validation, Review, Attributes and Search panels - always defaults to the Review panel. We've also added Outline View.

Is it possible to configure Oxygen Web to default the right pane to a different panel? Our users would like to see the Outline View by default.

Or does Oxygen Web support the ability to retain knowledge of what panel was last selected by the current user - and defaults to that? E.g., I open Oxygen document, panel defaults to X panel, I pick Y panel, leave Oxygen, re-open Oxygen document, and panel defaults to Y panel.

Thanks!

Hello,

Thank you for the update and for sharing your experience so far.

While the Review panel is the default for the right-side pane, it’s possible to programmatically focus a different panel — such as the Outline View — when a document is opened. This can be achieved using the focusView(viewId) method provided by the public API:
https://www.oxygenxml.com/maven/com/oxy ... ew__anchor
Here’s an example of how this can be used within a plugin:

Code: Select all

goog.events.listen(workspace, sync.api.Workspace.EventType.EDITOR_LOADED, function () {
  setTimeout(function () {
    workspace.getViewManager().focusView("outline-panel");
  }, 0);
});

This will ensure the Outline View is shown by default.

Or does Oxygen Web support the ability to retain knowledge of what panel was last selected by the current user - and defaults to that? E.g., I open Oxygen document, panel defaults to X panel, I pick Y panel, leave Oxygen, re-open Oxygen document, and panel defaults to Y panel.

For now, this is not possible, but we have an internal issue (WA-7653) logged for this use case, and we’ve added your vote to it.

Best,
Cosmin
