Configurable defaultScreenIds per User

Support
#1

Hello,

regarding this topic Mainscreen - after login - automatic open screen
the jmix.ui.defaultScreenId works just fine for our running Jmix Project.

But, we got a business request that tells us to implement multiple default screens for individual users.

For example:

User A wants the Customers-Screen,
User B wants the Orders-Screen,
and User C wants Customers- and Orders-Screen

as defaultScreen.

Is this requirement solved in anyway yet or someone got an idea how to solve the issue?

Kr,
Valentin

Hello,

It can be done via user settings mechanism that is provided by jmix-ui-data-starter:

implementation 'io.jmix.ui:jmix-ui-data-starter'

UiSetting entity contains username, setting name and its value. You can create an instance for each user with different screen id and load it in MainScreen.

For instance:

@Autowired
private UserSettingService userSettingService;
@Autowired
private WindowConfig windowConfig;
@Autowired
private Screens screens;
@Autowired
private UiProperties uiProperties;

@Subscribe
public void onAfterShow(AfterShowEvent event) {
    String defaultScreenId = userSettingService.loadSetting("defaultScreenId");
    if (Strings.isNullOrEmpty(defaultScreenId)) {
        screenTools.openDefaultScreen(
                UiControllerUtils.getScreenContext(this).getScreens());
    } else if (windowConfig.hasWindow(defaultScreenId)) {
        Screen screen = screens.create(defaultScreenId, OpenMode.NEW_TAB);
        screen.show();

        Window window = screen.getWindow();
        ((WindowImpl) window).setDefaultScreenWindow(true);
        window.setCloseable(!uiProperties.isDefaultScreenCanBeClosed());
    }
    screenTools.handleRedirect();
}

You can create UiSetting via Entity Inspector screen or implement your own screen for this.

I appreciate the answer!
This was I was looking for.

I adjusted the code a little bit, to open more than one Tab when logging in:

    public void onAfterShow(AfterShowEvent event) {
            String defaultScreenId = userSettingService.loadSetting("defaultScreenId");

            //Check, if no custom default screen is set in UI Settings.
            if (Strings.isNullOrEmpty(defaultScreenId)) {
                screenTools.openDefaultScreen(
                        UiControllerUtils.getScreenContext(this).getScreens());

                //If it's set, open all windows with comma separated from UI Settings.
            } else {
                List<String> defaultScreens = Arrays.asList(defaultScreenId.split(","));
                Collections.reverse(defaultScreens);
                for (String defaultScreen : defaultScreens) {
                    Screen screen = screens.create(defaultScreen, OpenMode.NEW_TAB);
                    screen.show();

                    Window window = screen.getWindow();
                    ((WindowImpl) window).setDefaultScreenWindow(true);
                    window.setCloseable(uiProperties.isDefaultScreenCanBeClosed());
                }
            }
            screenTools.handleRedirect();
        }
