Custom link type

designation

The designation entered here will be shown on the interface for this role (container in the tree).

Class

Name of the entry type (class) of this role. Can be selected using the three dots or entered directly. (Note: first letter must be capital).

Sorting

Here you can specify the sort in the tree. Vertec sorts the link containers in ascending order. If nothing is specified, the containers are sorted alphabetically.

Icon

Here you can specify which Icon to show (-1 shows the folder icon).

Linkmember

In contrast to the wrapperLinkTypes, the link member is not used for CustomLinkTypes, because there is no link to an existing member.

Container class

Container class: Instead of the default LinkContainer, special container classes can be specified depending on the class. A list of the container classes can be found here.

list controller

A List Controller is a Python class that can be defined to influence the behavior of a list view.

'New’ Menu

If this option is selected, the option to create a new entry of the opposite side and to link it immediately appears in the New Menu (right mouse button or via Menu Entry).

Show containers

If this option is checked, a container will be displayed as soon as a link is available.

Always show containers

If this option is selected in addition to Show Containers, the corresponding folder will be shown not only if it has links, but also if it is empty. This is better for performance because the entry does not have to check if links are already present when it is displayed.

Expandable

Vertec 6.7.0.17. If this checkbox is deactivated, the folder in the tree cannot be opened.

Single Link

Here you can specify whether this page allows several objects.
If not, then when a new object is assigned, the previous one will be removed.

Deletion forwarding

If delete forwarding is enabled, the target objects are also deleted when the source object is deleted. No delete permissions are checked
on the target object. If the user has the right to delete the source object, the target object is also deleted.

The deletion forwarding is only useful if the other side is a single link, because only then is a clear “owner” given. Therefore, the deletion forwarding can only be set for the single link.

If delete forwarding is configured, then the link cannot be resolved “by hand” (e.g. with the unlink method). The resolution of a link is then only possible by deleting one of the link partner objects.

Active

The link type is active and is therefore displayed on the interface.

Allow links

This link type can be used to create new links between entries via Drag & Drop.
