Filing
15-12 Using the Filing Service
Creating the appAll Slot 15
You must create in your application’s base view an appAll slot containing a string
of the form
" All Items "
where Items is the plural for the items to be filed, such as cards, notes, and so on.
For example, when the user taps the folder tab view in the built-in Notes
application, the last item in the picker is “All Notes.”
The following code fragment defines a typical appAll slot:
myAppBase := {… appAll: "All Notes", …}
Creating the appObjectFileThisIn Slot 15
You must define the appObjectFileThisIn slot in your application’s base
view. This slot holds the full text of the message to be displayed to the user when
filing a single item; for example,
“File this widget in”
This string is shown at the top of the Filing slip pictured in Figure 15-2 (page 15-3).
Creating the appObjectFileThisOn Slot 15
You must define the appObjectFileThisOn slot in your application’s base
view. This slot holds the full text of the string labelling the group of buttons that
represent stores in the Filing slip; for example,
“File this item on”
where item is the singular case of the target your application files, such as a card, a
note, and so on.
For an example of this string, see Figure 15-5 (page 15-5).
Creating the appObjectUnfiled Slot 15
You must define an appObjectUnfiled slot in your application’s base view.
This slot holds a string of the form
" Unfiled Items "
where Items is the plural case of the items to be filed, such as cards, notes, and so
on. For example, if the user taps the folder tab view in the built-in Notes application,
the first item in the picker is “Unfiled Notes.”
The following code fragment defines a typical appObjectUnfiled slot:
myAppBase := {… appObjectUnfiled: "Unfiled Notes", …}
