This dialog box enables you to define wiring between the components on a page, which determine how components interact with one another. After you place components on a page, you can use this dialog box to define which components (sources) send contexts to which components (targets). When you finish setting up your wiring, save the page.
For example, suppose View Explorer is defined as a source component which sends the CIChange wiring context to Top View (target component). When you select a CI in View Explorer, Top View focuses on this CI as well.

UI Element (A-Z) |
Description |
|---|---|
| Contexts |
After you select a source component, this contains a list of the contexts that can be sent from this source to the target components. Select the context which you want sent to one or more targets, then select the target components. |
| Source Components |
This displays all of the components on the page that have the ability to send contexts to other components. Select a source component, then select context and target components. Note: This list will be empty if no components on the page have the ability to send information to other components. To resolve this, add a component to the page which enables you to select a CI or a view, such as Top View or View Explorer. |
| Summary of Page Wiring |
This displays a summary of the wiring that has been defined for the page. Each line shows a source, the context it sends, and the target component receiving this context from this source. |
| Target Components |
After you select a source component and context, this displays all of the components on the page that have the ability to receive this context from the specified source. Select one or more target components which will receive contexts from the source component. |
