Summary View

A Summary View is used to add summary information to a page in the application. Summary information can be associated with other information, such as lists or backlogs. Summary information can be configured so that changes made to summary data updates any lists to which that summary is associated.

Wireup Options

When you add the Summary View widget to a layout pane, you can use the Widget Wireup to synchronize the Summary View with another widget, such as List or My Work List.

The Summary View widget can perform the following actions:

Action Description
Wire_LoadNewObject

The Wire_LoadNewObject action allows a Widget Wireup to load work item summary data into the Summary View widget. When a work item has been selected on the widget that has been configured as the publisher (using the rowselectchange event), updates are then pushed to the widget that has been configured as the subscriber.

 

The Summary View widget can perform the following publish options:

Publish Option Description
/serena/grid/onsave

The onsave event allows a Widget Wireup to listen for when a team member has made edits to a work item and then clicked save. When the edits are saved on the widget that has been configured as the publisher, updates are then pushed to the widget that has been configured as the subscriber (using the Wire_UpdateRow action).
