The Integration Button is a button that stands for one vessel, or one system, in an application that integrates several. It shows a name and a status, and in its largest form also an info field and a few readouts. It is found in the App - OpenBridge section of the Perspective Component Palette as Integration Button (Experimental).

Note: This component is experimental: its properties may change in a later version.

The parts of the button:

1. Leading icon, label and status — see Label and Status and Icons.
2. Info field — a label and a value at the bottom left, in the rich type. See Info Field and Readouts.
3. Readouts — values at the bottom right, in the rich type.

The Integration Button belongs with two other components:

• The Fleet Button stands for the fleet as a whole, where the Integration Button stands for one vessel.
• The Integration Bar is the header of such a system. It shows the fleet in its vessel selector as a button of this kind.

See App Components — Overview for the other app components.

An Integration Button dropped from the palette is of the rich type, with the texts Label, Status, Info Label and Info Status:

Examples

Example 1 — One Button per Vessel

The session has a custom property vessel that holds the chosen vessel, and selectedVessel of the Integration Bar is bound bidirectionally to it.

1. Drop an Integration Button into the view, 320 × 106.

2. Set label to MS Nordkapp, hasLeadingIcon to true and leadingIcon to a ship icon.

3. Bind status to [default]Nordkapp/Status, set infoLabel to Destination and bind infoStatus to [default]Nordkapp/Destination.

4. Set readouts, and bind each value to a tag:

   [
     {"label": "Speed", "value": 14.2, "unit": "kn"},
     {"label": "Course", "value": "274°", "unit": ""}
   ]

5. Bind selected to the expression {session.custom.vessel} = "nordkapp".

6. Add a script to onActionPerformed:

   self.session.custom.vessel = 'nordkapp'

Repeat for each vessel, or place the button in a view with a vessel parameter and show it in a Flex Repeater.
