Filing

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

"

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

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

"

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", ...}
