Visual Composer 7.3 Storyboard

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

I try to create a new model in VC7.3, however I find VC7.3 is very different from VC7.0.

1. COMPOSE > Expand Application Element, there is nothing for me to drag and drop. Cannot start the design.

2. SEARCH > Found desired FM, but cannot drag and drop to the storyboard, it does not allow.

I found some VC7.3 tutorials but the screen shots shows the same as I am seeing right now: please refer attached image.

Did I missed out any settings or configurations?

Thanks in advance

Hi kityein lai,

Could it be you mean to create a Composite View model?

If so, use the Model => New option in the top menu and then the following selections -

(also enter model name and Development Component):

Hi Udi,

Thanks for your suggestion, but I already gone trough the step as your screen shot, now I am in this screen:

All the Composite iViews, Pages, created. But I could not access any control element like Form, Table, and etc.

Really had no idea what is the cause.

Hi kityein lai,

It seems as if the model in the screenshot is not a Composite View. In the New Model dialog you should choose this type - Composite View - as in my example. Then you use the Visual Composer elements in it.

If this is not working out, please add a screenshot of the New Model dialog box you use when you create the model in question, with your Model Type selection (just before pressing OK).

Thanks,

Hi Udi, Thanks for your suggestions. It is the Composite View.

And I finally find out this is due to authorization problem.

When I use Administrator to login to VC, then I get the normal screen. Phew!!

Thanks again.

Hi kityein lai,

I haven't thought of that

Note that you could also add the Visual Composer Role to non-admin users if you need to.

Thanks,

Hi Udi,

I need to create new user who is also a VC modeler.

Administrator - can access everything  in VC;

New User 1 - can access as in my post on [Sep 13, 2013 8:11 AM] which cannot really develop anything.

New User 2 cloned from Administrator - same as User 1.

Any idea what should I do to resolve this?

Thanks & Regards,

Sarah

Hi,

From what I see, if I create a new user and add the VC Role, they could enter VC and model.

About Data Services:

• Those defined in the nwa, like R3, are automatically working
• Those defined in irj like BI, the User Mapping needs to be defined per user.

I'll look for a topic in the documentation, hope it's explained there to the full details.

Thanks,

Udi
