Default template views

This is the graph with all the views used in the default template.

It is formed with different types of elements:

• The main view and the master pages

  • DefaultLayout: layout page directly referenced from the InterviewTemplate.

  • InterviewTemplate: base master page. Everytime the systems tries to find a view it will use that one as the default master page.

  • Screen: base page. When performing an interview, the view that the interviewing system will return is "Screen", all the rest of the structure will be generated from there.

• Partial view referenced with their model name

  • When the RenderPartial is called only providing the model involved in the rendering, the RenderPartialExtensions class will choose a view based on a Prefix (that can be empty) and a Suffix:

    • Prefix: Generated through the different attributes like: Active, DisplayHint or RenderingDirective.
    • Suffix: Name of the model

  • For example, when we call Html.RenderPartial(segment), the system will render _ActiveSegment or _InactiveSegment depending on the Active attribute of the segment.

  • In the graph this is represented through the 'Abstract' elements: Segment, Paragraph, Content and Open. All of them, represent the class that is being processed, and depending on the values mentioned previously the system will render one or another view.

  • In many situations the name of the Model and the one of the View matches, as with the _CategoryGroup, the _Category or the _TextContent. In these cases, the prefix is just empty, and only the initial underscore _ to refer a partial view is used.

  • The attribute: RenderingDirective can be set using the ODIN command *UIRender and affects the models: Segment, CategoryList and Open.

• Partial views referenced directly

  • The last type of partial views are the ones that are referenced by name directly like: _Matrix, _Buttons, _Playmedia, _ErrorMessage, _PlayOnlineMedia and _CaptureMedia.

  • Their objective is to extract part of the rendering to a different view in order to simplify the structure, and as they are referenced directly, the RenderPartialExtensions is not taking part.

Models with direct relation to views names
