Element Reference
Element Reference is a gh-element that allows to use certain configured elements from other applications. You can refer to any element and therefore connect two applications.
Functional Characteristics
The current element is designed to make easier configuring the application. If you have some gh-element with certain settings and you need it in another application, you can simply extract it using Element Reference.
Value Format
The value of the field depends on the gh-element to which the current element is referencing. For example, if the source element is Text, the current value will be the string of the entered text.
Element Options
The element reference can be configured using only one group of settings.
Field Settings
The main settings of the element are in the field settings with standard options.
Name | Description |
---|---|
Application | allows to select the source application; details... |
Field | allows to select the field for reference; details... |
Application
This is the application where the element will be taken for reference.
Field
This is the field that the element refers to. That means exactly this element and its settings are used in the element reference.
Element Style
Like most gh-elements, this one has only standard settings of the style and a set of interpretation types.
Data Model
The data model of the current element contains all needed IDs and an array of interpretations:
{
"data_model": {
"app_id": "28752",
"field_id": "634545",
"interpretation": []
}
}
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
app_id | string |
contains ID of the source application |
field_id | string |
contains ID of the field to which the element is referenced |
interpretation | array |
contains all interpretation types |
Filtration
The element reference can be filtered with the same filters as the element to which the current element refers.
Interpretation
This element has only two types of interpretation:
Default
This type allows to edit the element value.
Plain Text
The second type of interpretation makes the value of the current item unavailable for editing.
