This setting can only be
selected if you have chosen a subordinate data group as the data source.
This setting will only display the data records that are in a
parent-child relationship with the currently selected data
record.
2. Columns
Column column
In this column, the titles of the data fields, which are integrated as table
columns, are listed.
Data field/Value column
Here, the data type
of the data fields, which are integrated as table
columns, are listed.
Add column
Opens a menu with the following options.
Button
This menu item allows any number of buttons to be created, which will
later be available for each table row. Each button is displayed in
its own table column.
Data field
Select this menu item to open the dialog box to select data fields,
just like when the Columns area is
double-clicked on.
Calculation
This menu item allows calculations to be performed in an area
underneath the view table, such as to show the total amount in a
column.
Static text
This menu item inserts a column that allows static text to be included.
Remove column
Deletes the selected table column from the list.
Edit column
Opens the properties dialog box for the corresponding table column.
Edit total calculation
Calculations can be performed in an area underneath the view table,
such as to show the total amount in a column.
With the arrow buttons, the order of the columns can be changed as desired.
The higher a field is positioned in the list, the further left the column
will be shown in the table.
Control type
If a table column is selected, you can select from the possible
control types here. You can define the target destination for buttons.
The control type Dynamic view
can be selected for data fields with the
typestring, text, integer, double, datetime or
boolean (meaning for all data types except for
file), when the data field originates from the
main data group that provides the data for the view table.
The control type Multiple selection
must be select for data fields with the type
string, text, integer, double, datetime or
boolean (meaning for all data types except for
file), when the data field originates from a child
data group of the main data group that provides the data for the view table.
The control type Multiple selection can be selected
for child data groups with the type file
but isn't necessary.
3. Sorting
Sorting
Opens a dialog where the table sorting can be defined.
4. API for tables
For use in Velocity a special API was developed, with which defined
tables (e.g., from the new hidden area) can easily be processed,
displayed and run through. The documentation for the API Object can be
found here:
Preselections are used to group data. A preselection can be created
from the context menu
of the view table.
You can use the tabs in the footer of the table to switch between Table and
Preselection 1.
Double-click on the Preselection tab to edit its
properties. In the properties dialog, a field can be selected which will be
used to group the data records in the table. In the database, a
Distinct query will be defined to filter the data
records. You can define as many preselections as you'd like for a table. The
order of the preselections can be adjusted using the
context menu.
Preselections cannot be created for view tables that are
connected to OData data groups. The SQL keyword
distinct cannot be used by OData.
In this case, selecting data records must be solved by using
filters or
dependencies.
