[1. Overview]
In the midst of rapid changes in the business environment, it is essential that information systems keep pace with management speed, and speedy system changes are required. Under these circumstances, low-code development tools (including non-code development tools) are attracting attention, and their user base is expanding not only to vendors, but also to system managers at companies using systems. For this reason, there is a demand for a mechanism that can easily change the layout and behavior of the UI (User Interface) in common.

However, in conventional low-code development tools, it was not possible to flexibly change the layout and behavior settings of the input candidate selection function (so-called pull-down). Further, conventionally, it was not possible to define the pull-down setting as a common setting and use the common setting on each screen.

Therefore, in this embodiment, for example, the following 1 to 3 are made possible.
1. By using the grid structure, etc., the layout at the time of pulldown can be set flexibly.
2. When selecting a pull-down, the value can be reflected in any control (text box, etc.). In other words, the behavior at the time of pulldown can be set flexibly.
3. Elements that do not depend on the screen in the pull-down settings can be changed in common by saving them as common settings separate from the screen settings. Allowed for unification. On the other hand, screen-dependent elements can be specified individually for each screen.

In short, in this embodiment, for example, when setting the input candidate selection function (pull-down) using a low-code development tool, the screen developer can freely customize the layout and behavior at the time of pull-down. Further, in the present embodiment, for example, pull-down settings common to each screen are stored in advance as common settings, so that the screen developer can use the common settings when developing a new screen. Allows screen development. Specific configurations and operations will be described below.

[3. Overview of processing]
In this section, an outline of processing according to this embodiment will be described.

[3-1. Flexible setting of values displayed when pulling down]
Applications conventionally have an input candidate selection function (so-called pull-down function) that assists the operator's input. For example, when a predetermined text box is selected by an operator as shown in FIG. 2(A), input candidates for the text box are displayed in detail as shown in FIG. 2(B). , and finally, as shown in FIG. 2(C), the selected details are automatically entered in the text box.

However, conventionally, as shown in FIG. 2, once the information "customer code, customer name" is set as the value displayed in the pull-down menu, it takes time and effort to change this setting. For example, it was not easy to set to display attribute information such as "address" in addition to the information.

On the other hand, in this embodiment, the values displayed in the pull-down menu can be flexibly set. Therefore, as shown in FIG. ” values can also be displayed.

[3-2. Flexible setting of values displayed on mouseover]
Similarly, conventionally, detailed information displayed in a balloon or the like when a detail displayed by a pull-down is selected (mouse over) with a mouse is also fixed. For example, as shown in a balloon in FIG. 4, once the information “department in charge, person in charge” is set, it takes time and effort to change this setting. It was not easy to set up to display information such as "number" in balloons.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the value displayed in the balloon when the mouse is over can be flexibly set. Therefore, as shown in FIG. Address, corporate number" values can also be displayed in balloons.

[3-3. Flexible setting of display mode]
In this embodiment, the display mode (layout of display position, etc., character size, character density, character thickness, etc.) can be flexibly set. Values can be displayed in a desired display mode when pulled down.

[3-4. Setting return values to multiple locations]
Furthermore, in the present embodiment, when a certain value is selected from among the values displayed by selecting a certain location on the screen and using a pulldown, the selected value (return value) is displayed as shown in FIG. value) can be reflected not only on the above-described certain location, but also on other locations on the screen. In other words, the return value can be reflected in multiple places.

[3-5. Common setting]
Here, it is necessary to reflect the settings made to a certain part of the screen in the above [3-1] to [3-4] to the same part of another screen. However, it is troublesome to make the same settings again. Therefore, in the present embodiment, common settings are made available in order to make pull-down settings for portions that do not depend on screens. For example, if the same part exists in one screen and another screen, common settings for [3-1] to [3-3] can be set once when setting the pull-down for a certain screen. , the common settings can be used when setting pull-down settings for other screens (even if the common settings are used, [3-4] must be set again for each screen).

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when pull-down settings are made for portions that depend on screens, [3-1] to [3-4] are set for each screen.

[4. Specific example of processing]
In this section, a specific example of processing according to this embodiment will be described. In [4-1] below, the setting of the API master 106a will be explained, in [4-2] below, the pull-down setting, which is the point of the present invention, will be explained, and in [4-3] below, , the operation when pull-down is executed.

Here, the low-code platform has a setting screen operated by a screen developer and an execution screen operated by a business operator. The former will be explained in [4-2] below, and the latter will be explained in [4-3] below.

On a setting screen operated by a screen developer, screen layout and event processing are set by GUI (Graphical User Interface) operations. As shown in FIG. 8, the information of the setting screen is stored in the setting information database.

On the execution screen operated by the business operator, as shown in FIG. 9, the setting information set on the setting screen is read, the setting information is developed in the memory on the Web server, and the application is executed.

[4-1. Setting of API master 106a]
(1) Overview When the pull-down is set, data can be displayed by calling the contents of the set API master 106a. In other words, as a premise of the pull-down setting, it is necessary to set the API master 106a in advance. Therefore, in this item, how to set the API master 106a will be described.

By importing API information (method interface) into the API master 106a, it can be used as pull-down settings. That is, the interface information in the module is taken in as the API master 106a.

(2) Data Saved in API Master 106a The API master 106a is a master that stores interface information of arguments and return values of methods marked with specific attributes in the module. FIG. 10 shows column information of the API master 106a. FIG. 11 shows a table of types, descriptions of types, properties, and descriptions of properties for arguments and return values.

(3) Acquisition Operation and Acquisition Data In this section, an example of C#, which is the code in the module, and an example of the data (API master 106a) that acquires the information will be described.

FIG. 12 shows an example of fetching method information. 13 and 14 show an example of capturing method argument information. FIG. 15 shows an example in C#. FIG. 16 shows an example of the API master 106a generated by incorporating C# information.

The API master 106a includes, for example, API identifiers (API keys), method names, display names, arguments, return values, and the like, as shown in FIG. The return value also contains the item to which the specific information belongs. The API master 106a of FIG. 16 includes six items of "customer CD", "customer name", "department in charge", "person in charge", "address" and "corporation number". ing. As a result, although the details will be described in [4-2] below, the screen developer can select a specific item from the six items as an item for displaying specific information at the time of pull-down.

[4-2. pull-down settings]
In this item, pull-down setting, which is a feature of the present invention, will be described. As a premise for setting the pulldown, API interface information must be registered in the API master 106a in advance in order to acquire data to be displayed at the time of pulldown. , and pre-registered with the contents described in [4-1]. This item assumes a scene (development scene) in which a screen developer develops a screen.

Here, there are two types of pull-down settings: individual pull-down settings and pull-down settings using a common pull-down.

[4-2-1. Individual pull-down settings]
This item describes the settings for individual pulldowns (pulldowns that differ for each screen).

(1) Allocation of pull-down to control First, as shown in FIG. 17, "Supplier From" is selected as the place (control) where the pull-down is to be set, and the "+" which is the addition button of the pull-down is pressed.

When the add button is pressed, as shown in FIG. 18, a popup for selecting the type of pulldown is activated, and either "create individual pulldown" or "use common pulldown" is selected. In this example, in order to perform individual settings, as shown in FIG. 18, "create individual pull-down" is selected.

When an individual pulldown is selected, a pulldown definition is created with the name "new pulldown", as shown in FIG.

(2) Selection of API Type Next, an API for acquiring data to be displayed at the time of pulldown is selected from the "API selection" tab.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 20, first, the definition name is changed from "new pull-down" to "customer pull-down". Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 20, when the "API selection" tab is pressed, the APIs pre-registered in the API master 106a are "office data acquisition processing", "department data acquisition processing", and "transaction APIs such as "acquire destination data processing" and "acquire billing destination data processing" are displayed. In this example, it is assumed that "customer data acquisition process" is selected as the API.

(3) Argument setting Next, the argument for the API is set from the "argument setting" tab. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 21, as an argument, the value of the reference date text on the screen is set in the argument "reference date" item.

(4) Return value setting Next, from the "return value selection" tab, the return value to be reflected in the location selected in (1) is selected when the pulldown is selected.

More specifically, as shown in the API master 106a of FIG. 16, return value items include "client CD", "client name", "department in charge", "person in charge", "address", and "corporation 22, the display/input item storage unit 102a displays the six items as shown in the screen of FIG.

Then, if "supplier CD" is selected from the displayed six items, the display/input item storage unit 102a displays "supplier CD" as a choice of specific information at the time of pull-down, In addition, the selected specific information is stored as a display/input item which is an item automatically input to the location selected in (1).

As a result, when pulling down the part selected in (1), the specific information (for example, A0001) of "Supplier CD" is displayed as an option, and the selected specific information is selected in (1). automatically filled in.

(5) Setting multiple return values Next, from the "Multiple return value settings" tab, when selecting a pull-down, there is a setting to return specific information to a place other than the pull-down display place (place selected in (1)). be done.

Specifically, as shown in the setting screen of FIG. 23, when the supplier To part is selected, the other part storage unit 102b stores the supplier To part as specific information about "supplier CD". is stored as another part where is automatically input.

As a result, when specific information (for example, B0001) of "customer CD" is selected from the pull-down of the part selected in (1), the selected specific information is selected in (1). As shown in the execution screen of FIG. 23, not only supplier From, which is the part selected, supplier To, which is the part selected in this item (5), is also automatically entered.

(6) Setting Display Layout Next, the layout at the time of pull-down is set from the “Display Layout Setting” tab. Since there are two types of layout display formats, the default layout and the custom layout, the items will be described separately below.

(6-1) When Set by Default Layout A default layout is a layout in which data (specific information) is displayed side by side. As shown in the setting screen of FIG. 24, the data to be displayed is set by checking the "default layout" and selecting the display items at the time of pull-down from among the return value candidates (multiple selections are allowed). be able to.

In this example, as shown in the setting screen of FIG. 24, two items of "customer CD" and "customer name" are selected. Stored as items to be displayed according to the layout.

As a result, at the time of pull-down of the part selected in (1), as shown in the execution screen of FIG. 24, specific information about "client CD" and "client name" are displayed side by side.

(6-2) When Setting by Custom Layout A custom layout is a layout in which the display mode of data (specific information) is displayed according to the screen developer's settings by using a grid structure or the like. In the case of the custom layout, as shown in the setting screen of FIG. 25, after checking "custom layout", it is necessary to perform predetermined settings from the "layout" tab and the "property" tab.

First, let's take a look at the settings on the Layout tab. From the "layout" tab, it is possible to set column addition, row addition, cell merging, unmerging, left-to-right center alignment of display contents, and the like. FIG. 26 shows an image of how to add columns, add rows, and combine cells.

Here, the information that constitutes the layout includes grid containers and grid items.

A grid container is a frame that divides a screen to be designed into a grid pattern, and holds information about the number of horizontal and vertical lines divided and the length of the division. The grid container further includes template column information (horizontal line division number and division length information) and template row information (vertical line division number and division length information). Hold.

In this example, it is assumed that the grid container is set as shown on the left side of FIG. In this case, grid container information is held as shown on the right side of FIG.

A grid item is an element placed in a grid container and retains its own positional information and occupied area information within the grid container. Grid items also contain column index information (horizontal position information within the grid container), row index information (vertical position information within the grid container), and column binding information (horizontal occupied area within the grid container). information) and row join information (vertical occupied area information in the grid container).

In this example, it is assumed that the grid items are set as shown on the left side of FIG. In this case, grid item information is retained as shown on the right side of FIG.

Since the three cells shown in the setting screen of FIG. 25 are generated by setting from the "layout" tab, three items can be selected as display items in the pulldown. In this example, although not shown, it is assumed that three items of "customer CD", "customer name" and "address" are selected. In this case, the display mode storage unit 102c stores the three items as items to be displayed in the custom layout.

Next, the settings made from the "Properties" tab will be explained. From the "Properties" tab, as shown in FIG. 29, it is possible to set the size, shading, bold type, and other style settings for each specific information. In this example, although not shown, the item "customer name" is set to be larger in size than other items, darker than other items, and displayed in bold.

The display mode storage unit 102c stores the selected three items (“client CD”, “client name” and “address”) in the display mode set on the “property” tab. In this example, as described in the previous paragraph, only the "customer name" is set from the "Properties" tab.

When the custom layout described in (6-2) above is set, the specific information about "customer CD", "customer name" and "address" will be displayed as shown in the execution screen of FIG. displayed in the form. The display mode conforms to the layout settings shown in FIGS. 27 and 28 and the property settings shown in FIG.

(7) Detailed information setting Finally, from the "detailed information setting" tab, the information of the balloon displayed when the mouse is over the details displayed in the pulldown is set. As balloon information, a plurality of pairs of captions (items) and display data (specific information) are set.

Specifically, as shown in the setting screen of FIG. 30, a pair of “caption=department in charge, display data=department in charge” and a pair of “caption=person in charge, display data=person in charge” are set. Then, in the detailed information storage unit 102d, the two items "department in charge" and "person in charge" are displayed, and the specific information about the item "supplier CD" selected in (4) is moused over at the time of pull-down. The item itself and specific information about the item are stored as detailed display items, which are items displayed in a balloon at the time of pull-down, as detailed information of the specific information moused over when the item is pulled down.

As a result, as shown in the execution screen of FIG. 30, when the item (for example, "B0001 Supplier B") displayed in the pulldown of the part selected in (1) is moused over, "Item name: Specific As the information, "department in charge: XXX" and "person in charge: XXXXXX" are displayed in balloons.

(8) Structure of data to be saved As described above, the control information 106b and the pull-down information 106c are held in a state of being linked via the pull-down relation information 106d by the settings made in (1) to (7). . Three pieces of information, control information 106b, pull-down information 106c, and pull-down relation information 106d, are stored in the UI information master. The three pieces of information will be described below.

The control information 106b is information for storing the elements constituting the layout of the screen, that is, information for storing the settings made in (1). A control is an element on the screen. As shown in FIG. 31, the control information 106b stores, for example, an identifier for identifying a control that is a parent element, a type, an identifier for identifying a control that is a child element, a text, and the like. . The portion on the screen where the pull-down is set in (1) corresponds to the identifier "1-2-1-4-1-1" shown in bold letters in the control information 106b shown in FIG.

The pull-down information 106c is information for storing the operation at the time of pull-down, that is, information for storing the settings made in (2) to (7). As shown in FIG. 32, the pull-down information 106c includes, for example, an identifier for identifying each pull-down, a pull-down type, a pull-down name, an API identifier, an argument set in (3), ( The return value set in 4), the multiple return values set in (5), the display layout set in (6), and the detailed information set in (7) above are stored. When the display layout set in (6) is a custom layout, the display layout information is stored as shown in FIG. 33, for example.

The pull-down relation information 106d is information for linking the pull-down information 106c with a specific control in the control information 106b. The pull-down relation information 106d, as shown in FIG. 34, includes, for example, an identifier for identifying a control (control identifier), an identifier for identifying each pull-down (pull-down identifier), and the like. In the pulldown relation information 106d shown in FIG. 34, a control identifier "1-2 -1-4-1-1" is associated with a pull-down identifier "1" for identifying the pull-down settings made in (2) to (7).

By associating a specific pull-down identifier with a specific control identifier in this way, it is possible to define what kind of operation is performed at which point on the screen when the pull-down is performed.

As described above in [4-2-1], according to the setting operation support device 100 according to the present embodiment, the display mode of the options displayed when pulling down a specific portion on the screen and the selected To enable flexible setting of input modes of options.

[4-2-2. Pull-down settings using common pull-down]
In this section, setting of pull-down using common pull-down (common pull-down not dependent on the screen) is explained.

(1) Common pull-down setting In order to set a pull-down using the common pull-down, it is necessary to set the common pull-down as a prerequisite. For this reason, first, setting of the common pull-down will be described.

First, a start screen for common pull-down setting shown in FIG. 35 is opened, and by pressing the "Add" button in the start screen, the common pull-down setting screen shown in FIG. 36 is activated.

Next, the name of the common pulldown is set. In this example, as shown in FIG. 37, the name "customer data common pull-down" is set.

Of the settings described in (1) to (7) of [4-2-1], those that do not depend on the screen are set as a common pull-down. That is, since "API type selection", "return value setting", "display layout setting", and "detailed information setting" are common to each screen, they are set as a common pull-down menu. Since the setting method and setting contents are the same as the method described in [4-2-1], the description is omitted.

By setting this item (1), pull-down information 106c (common setting information) shown in FIG. 38 is saved as a common pull-down.

(2) Pull-down setting using common pull-down Next, pull-down setting is performed using the common pull-down set in (1).

First, as shown in FIG. 39, "Supplier From" is selected as a place (control) for which a pull-down is to be set, and the "+" pull-down addition button is pressed.

When the add button is pressed, as shown in FIG. 40, a popup for selecting the type of pulldown is activated, and either "create individual pulldown" or "use common pulldown" is selected. In this example, since settings are made using the common pulldown, as shown in FIG. 40, "use common pulldown" is selected.

When "use common pull-down" is selected, a select box for selecting a common pull-down is displayed as shown in FIG. In this example, as shown in FIG. 41, it is assumed that the "customer data common pulldown" set in (1) is selected as the common pulldown.

When the common pull-down to be used is selected, a pull-down definition is created with the name "new pull-down" as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 42, as a subtitle of "new pull-down", "customer data common pull-down", which is the common pull-down being used, is displayed.

Here, as shown in FIG. 42, for "API type selection", "Return value setting", "Display layout setting" and "Detailed information setting" set as the common pulldown in (1), The corresponding tab is locked with a padlock mark and cannot be changed.

On the other hand, "argument setting" and "multiple return value setting" are set as described below.

Arguments for the API are set from the "argument setting" tab. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 43, as an argument, a setting is made such that the value of the reference date text on the screen is set in the argument "reference date" item.

Also, from the "Set multiple return values" tab, when selecting a pulldown, a setting is made to return specific information to a location other than the location where the pulldown is displayed. Specifically, although not shown, when the supplier To location is selected, the other location storage unit 102b stores the location of the customer To in addition to automatically inputting specific information about "customer CD". Store as a point.

By setting this item (2), the pull-down information 106c (information other than the common setting information) shown in FIG. 44 is saved.

(3) Structure of data to be saved The common setting storage unit 102e stores pull-down information 106c (information other than common setting information) shown in FIG. pull-down information 106c (common setting information) shown in FIG. The common pull-down identifier "1" is key information for realizing the linking.

As described above in [4-2-2], according to the setting task support device 100 according to the present embodiment, if common setting information is set in advance when developing a certain screen, By using the set common setting information when developing another screen, pull-down setting can be performed easily and quickly.

[4-3. Operation when executing pulldown]
In this section, the operation at the time of execution of pulldown using the pulldown settings made in [4-2] will be described. This item assumes a scene (execution scene) in which a business operator (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as an "operator") performs screen operations using the developed screen.

(1) Overview of Operation During Execution When the operator operates the business screen, as shown in FIG. 45, the setting information is read from the setting information database and the operation is executed. At this time, as shown in FIG. 45, at the timing when the screen is activated, information necessary for execution is written and held in the memory.

(2) Processing when Screen is Activated Next, FIG. 46 shows the processing flow when the screen is activated. As shown in FIG. 46, target screen data (control information 106b, pull-down information 106c, and pull-down relation information 106d) are read from the UI definition table and expanded on the memory. Subsequently, the screen state on the memory is converted into Html and returned to the client (operator).

(3) Reading pull-down information Next, the pull-down information 106c is read. Specifically, in the case of individual pull-down, as shown in FIG. 47, pull-down information 106c is developed on the memory. On the other hand, in the case of common pull-down, as shown in FIG. 47, based on the common pull-down identifier "1" set in the pull-down definition (pull-down information 106c in FIG. 44), the common pull-down table (pull-down information in FIG. 38) 106c), the pull-down information 106c is expanded on the memory.

In this way, in both cases of individual pull-down and common pull-down, "identifier", "name", "API identifier", "argument", "return value", "multiple return values The pull-down information 106c including the information of "setting", "display layout" and "detailed information setting" is developed on the memory.

(4) Processing for Pull-down Display Next, pull-down display is executed. A detailed description will be given below along the flow of FIG.

First, as shown in FIG. 49, the pull-down identifier associated with the control is sent to the server.

Next, as shown in FIG. 49, the pulldown information 106c on the memory is specified based on the pulldown identifier sent to the server. An example of specified pull-down information 106c is shown in FIG.

Next, as shown in FIG. 49, a method within the module is identified based on the API identifier in the identified pull-down information 106c, and the method information, arguments and return values are read (the process of reading the API information and the similar).

Next, as shown in FIG. 49, an argument object is generated from the read argument information. An example of generated argument objects is shown in FIG.

Next, as shown in FIG. 49, using the argument information in the specified pull-down information 106c, values are set to the argument objects generated in the previous paragraph from the screen state. FIG. 51 shows an example of setting a value to an argument object.

Next, as shown in FIG. 49, the argument object in which the value is set is passed to the method, and the API is executed.

Next, as shown in FIG. 49, a return value object is received. Specifically, when the return value object and the pull-down information 106c are as shown in FIG. 52, the pull-down display unit 102f executes the following processing.

That is, the pull-down time display unit 102f acquires "A0001" as specific information about the item "client CD" related to the return value in the pull-down information 106c. Further, the pull-down display unit 102f acquires "A0001" and "Supplier A" as specific information about the items "Supplier CD" and "Supplier Name" related to the display layout in the pull-down information 106c. . Then, the pull-down display unit 102f acquires “department in charge A” and “person in charge A” as specific information about the items “department in charge” and “person in charge” related to detailed information setting in the pull-down information 106c. do.

In this way, the pull-down display unit 102f receives from the return value object the specific information to be displayed during pull-down and input upon selection of the pull-down, thereby generating a list of output information as shown in FIG. . An example of generated output information is shown in FIG.

As an example of display during pulldown, display based on the output information in FIG. 53 will be described. When the operator selects the "Supplier From" portion of the supplier CD on the screen, the pull-down display section 102f displays the display/input item "Supplier CD , the return values in the output information of FIG. 53 are displayed as options. In other words, the pull-down display unit 102f displays "A0001" and "B0001" as options at the time of pull-down.

At this time, the pull-down display unit 102f also displays the information on the right side of the display text in the output information in FIG. That is, the pull-down display unit 102f displays "A0001" together with "Supplier A" and "B0001" together with "Supplier B".

Further, when the operator mouses over a specific option, the pull-down display unit 102f displays the detailed information in the output information of FIG. 53 in a balloon as the detailed information stored in the detailed display item storage unit 102d. That is, when "A0001" is moused over, the pull-down display unit 102f displays "Responsible department: Responsible department A" and "Responsible person: Responsible person A" in balloons. If it is exceeded, "responsible department: responsible department B" and "person in charge: person in charge B" are displayed in balloons.

Finally, as shown in FIG. 49, the generated output information is returned to the client (operator), and the display layout at the time of pulldown is generated based on the returned output information. Examples of generated display layouts are shown in FIG. 54, divided into default layouts and custom layouts.

(5) Processing when Pulldown is Selected Finally, as shown in the flow of FIG. 55, the pulldown input unit 102g reflects the return value and multiple return values in the control.

Specifically, when specific information is selected from options displayed by the pull-down display unit 102f, the pull-down input unit 102g stores not only the pull-down location but also other locations stored in the other location storage unit 102b. Concrete information is also automatically input (returned) to the "multiple return values" in the corresponding output information in FIG. That is, the control identifier "1-2-1-4-2-1" is set as "multiple return values" in the output information of FIG. It corresponds to the part of "customer To". For this reason, if for example "A0001" is selected at the time of pull-down, the pull-down input section 102g will display only the "Supplier From" portion (left side) of the supplier CD on the screen, as shown in the screen example of FIG. Instead, the selected "A0001" is automatically input (returned) to the "supplier To" portion (right side) of the supplier CD on the screen.

As described above in [4-3], according to the setting work support device 100 according to the present embodiment, the business operator operates the screen based on the pull-down setting made by the screen developer. be able to.
