Configuring a File Loading Widget for ECLASS BMECat Data Imports

Web UI users can import data files into STEP using a File Loading Widget. Follow the steps below to complete the configuration. This topic explains how to configure a File Loading Widget so users can drag and drop ECLASS BMECat data files onto it from the Web UI homepage.

Prerequisites

Before configuring the Web UI portion of this solution, an IIEP for an ECLASS Advanced Data Importer must be configured within the workbench. For more information, refer to Configuring an IIEP for ECLASS BMECat Data Imports topic.

It is expected that anyone configuring the ECLASS BMECat Data Import solution within a Web UI be familiar with the Web UI Designer, as basic concepts for working with the designer are not covered in this section. In addition, the user must have appropriate privileges to access the designer. For more information, refer to Designer Access topic within the Web User Interfaces documentation.

Additionally, it is helpful to know how to add a widget to a Web UI Homepage. Details on how to do this can be found in Adding Widgets to a Homepage topic in the Web User Interfaces documentation.

Configuration

Each screenshot example within this section provides recommended values for the parameters in ECLASS BMECat Data Importer.

  1. In the designer, select an existing File Loading Widget to be used, or add a new File Loading Widget to the Homepage Widget Grid component. For more information, refer to File Loading Widget topic within the Web User Interfaces documentation.

  2. Go to the Inbound Integration Endpoint Parameters field, click the Add button, and the Inbound Integration Endpoint Parameter Properties dialog will display.

  3. Click the dropdown for the Inbound Integration Endpoint parameter, and select ECLASS ADVANCED Data Importer (the IIEP created for ECLASS Advanced Data imports).

    Note: If the desired IIEP does not display in the dropdown, then it can be created using the steps described in Configuring an IIEP for ECLASS BMECat Data Imports topic.

  4. Optionally, provide a label to be displayed within the drop zone of the widget.

    In the example below, a File Loading Widget labeled as 'ECLASS ADVANCED' is displayed above its configurations.

  5. Click the Save and Close buttons to save the changes and close the designer.
