~~Title: User Profiles and Filters~~

=== Introduction ===

The User Profile AddOn saves your screen layout if you close a screen and restores everything if you open the same screen again. This works per user and global. It's possible to create default screen layouts for every user, and a specific user will use its own layout based on the global one. The AddOn also adds a new functionality to your tables:

{{:visionx:profile_infodialog_web.png?nolink|}}

A new button (? icon) will be added to the table. The dialog will show the table name, the number of records/rows, and all available columns. It's possible to hide or show specific columns with this dialog.

The filter is a module and is bundled with user profiles. It allows the user to create custom filter conditions directly in the screen. Here's how this might look:

{{:visionx:userfilter_web.png?nolink|}}

The following conditions are available:

    * contains
    * not contains
    * starts with
    * not starts with
    * equals
    * not equals
    * between
    * not between
    * greater
    * less
    * greater or equals
    * less or equals

It's possible to add as many conditions as you want and single conditions can be enabled or disabled.

The customized filter can also be saved and loaded:

{{:visionx:save_load_filter.png?nolink|}}

Another feature is and/or grouping. Decide which option is combined with "and" or "or". 

=== Customizing ===

The AddOn is designed to be customizable. The default settings and implementations can be modified.The AddOn contains the class ProfileUtil which offers a lot of useful methods, such as:

<file java>
setDefaultTableInformationDialogClass(IApplication app, Class clazz)
</file>

This method set the class which should be used to show the table information dialog. It's possible to extend the existing class **TableInformationDialog**.
It's also possible to change the table information dialog per Navigation table:

<file java>
setTableInformationDialogClass(NavigationTable table, Class clazz)
</file>
It's also possible to hide the table information button:

<file java>
setDefaultShowTableInformationButton(IApplication app, boolean show)
</file>

Check the available methods of **ProfileUtil** to find out more.

Another feature is the definition of available column names in the table information dialog:

<file java>
databook.getRowDefinition().setColumnView(ITableInformationControl.class, new ColumnView(new String[] {...}));
</file>
This statement defines a list of column names which will be shown in the table information dialog.
