Preparing a View for Progress Updates

Use some of the following options to create an interactive view that updates and allows for interaction during scenario execution.
  • Set up the view to listen for specific events
  • Add an attribute to display the VDL view at all times by disabling the default view
  • Hide or show areas of the view based on their execution state of each scenario
  • Add progress indicators
  • Handle multiple scenarios
  • Construct a custom overlay
  • Use a built-in VDL component for progress updates
  • Use VDL actions to send messages to the model
  • Switch to another view
Covered Topics
  • Enabling Progress Events for a View
    For a view to receive progress updates from the model, it must have the 'progress' attribute set on the root tag.
  • Disabling the Default Execution Overlay
    Disabling the default execution overlay allows the view to show relevant information relating to the running scenario while executing.
  • Hiding or Showing View Components
    It is possible to show and hide components of the view in response to the changing execution state of each scenario.
  • Showing Component Progress
    There are two VDL components specifically provided for representing progress.
  • Display of Scenario Objects
    The view elements on vdl-table, vdl-execute-button, and vdl-field cannot be edited when the scenario is locked for execution.
  • JS API and VDL Objects
    The information in this topic includes summary data and execution status for JS API and VDL Objects.
  • Sending Information from View to Model
    It is possible to pass information from a view to the model for a running scenario.
  • Switching to Another View
    A common requirement is to go from one view to another by clicking a button, e.g., a simple overlay with a spinner can be used on each view combined with buttons that allow switching to more detailed progress views. The following code snippet shows how to navigate to the target view.
