DT411 Data Field

DI000213 DI

ID of the data item

DI002060 Data item

Name of the data item. This name is displayed as a data field heading in the modules.

Note

• The displayed data field heading in the module can also be overwritten by making an entry in the DF heading field.

DI000984 DT

Data table from which the data item stems

DI010200 DF heading

Here, an individual heading can be defined for each data field of a data area. The entry defined here is displayed in the user view of the module instead of the name displayed in Data Field. For buttons or context menu entries (DF behavior c... and m...), this entry is displayed instead of the module name of the module to be opened.

Notes

• If the data field heading for a particular field is not to be displayed in an area which is no form (Layout parameter = 0 or 1), you have to enter ASCII code 0160 to generate a non-breaking space. To do so, you have to hold down the ALT key while you enter the four digits.
• In this field, variables(@D, @G and @(System variables) can be used, the values of which are read when the module is opened. Use a double @ to make sure that the variable (e.g. @D) is not read but an @ sign is actually output in the field. E.g., @@D15 is written in the DF heading, the text @D15 is displayed in the module heading.

DI041088 DF Python ID

Identifier of a data field. It is used in connection with Python to identify the data field.

Notes

• Names must be usable as Python literals. They must not contain blanks, umlauts, special characters, etc.
• The DF python ID must be uniquely defined in the system.
• Individual Python IDs must start with an L and the license number.
  • Example: L011_request
• This value can also be preset on the data item in the DI Python ID data field.
  • In this case, the preset Python ID and the "DI:" entry are displayed.
    • If the Python ID in the DI is, e.g., "requested_start", "DI: requested_start" is written in the DF Python ID data field.
  • The preset value can be overwritten. If this value is deleted, the preset from the data item is displayed again.
• The Python IDs of default data fields cannot be changed.

DI000307 DF

ID of the data field

DI000203 Traffic DI

When you enter a traffic light DI here, the traffic light function will take effect.

Note

• The traffic light symbols overwrite the symbol stored in the Symbol ID data field.

See also: Customizing of Traffic Lights

DI027481 Action ID

Here, the ID of the objects which are addressed when carrying out an action is entered.

Actions can be defined for data fields with the following DF behavior:

DI000111 LBMOD

Here, the ID of the listbox module is stored for DF behavior = "li"/"le".

DI010190 Action

Name of the module, menu item, or macro entered in the Action ID field which is addressed when an action is carried out

Details

• In the module, this name is used for buttons as well as in the context menu. It can be overwritten by making a deviating entry in the DF heading field.

DI009468 @L variable

Number of the list variables to be referenced

Details

• The program saves the data field values of marked records in the entered list variable.

Note

• In the target module, @L must be entered for a data field in Filter from

DI000288 Summarization type

DI001706 Grid

Values

• For histogram data fields:
  • The grid specifies the scale graduations of the histogram scale.
  • Example: When Grid = 100, the y axis of the scale is divided into steps of hundreds (100, 200, 300, etc.).
• For time scale data fields (division of the x axis of the time scale):
  • 2: day
  • 3: week
  • 4: month
  • 5: quarter
  • 6: year

Note

• The size of the scale can be customized via the Scale and Grid data fields.

DI040119 LB: value transfer

This parameter determines which data field from the listbox is transferred.

Values

• : The data field is copied from the listbox.
• : The data field is not copied.

Notes

• You have to make sure that this parameter is used reasonably.
  • I.e., for listboxes on project ID fields, the LB: Copying values parameter should be activated for the project ID, not for the name.
• If this parameter is activated for no data field in a listbox, nothing from the list can be copied.
• The parameter can only be activated for one data field in the data area. If it is activated for another data field in addition, the activation is deleted for the first data field.
• If this parameter is activated, the LB: part string search field is activated automatically.

See also: Listbox Customizing, Listboxes in General, Listbox section in Module Workflow Level 1

DI040815 LB: Part string search

This parameter defines for the Listbox modules, which data fields are considered in the part string input.

Values

• : The data field is considered in the part string search.
• : The data field is not considered in the part string search.

Details

• If the LB: copying values parameter is activated for a data field, this parameter is activated automatically. It can, however, be deactivated manually.
• In a listbox module, you can also set multiple fields or no field at all for the substring search.

Example

• This way you cannot only input the table in the listbox of the DT data field in the Data Dictionary, but also the beginning of the table name in order to filter the LB contents.

Note

• If a listbox contains the value to be copied, a respective name, and an additional detailed description, it is recommended to only use value and name in the part string search. If you include the explanation in the continuous text, this is likely to produce too many unintentional hits.

See also: Listbox Customizing, Listboxes in General, Listbox section in Module Workflow Level 1, Substring Input in Listboxes

DI040118 Input only via listbox

If this parameter is activated, data field input is restricted to the values from the listbox.

Values

• : Data field input is restricted to values from the listbox.
• : Data field input is not restricted.

Note

• If a value which is not contained in the listbox is entered in a listbox data field manually or via Drag&Drop, the input is ignored and the field remains empty. The user must repeat the input or select a valid value from the listbox.

• Or the user can fill the field himself/herself with the required value in the Filter Criteria module. In such a case, the data is filtered after clicking on the Filter or Filter additively button.

Notes

• For virtual data fields, the value in this field is marked red and bold.
• If no filter criteria have been preset, all data will be found when filtering.
• If you often filter on the same data field, it is recommendable to set a respective index in the database.
