(Step 5)
The RAD wizard "List" tab is used to define the logical properties and their graphical representation in the program's list.
List
List of logical properties that will be inserted as columns in the program's list.
The properties can be ordered in relation to one another by drag & drop.
The following information is given:
Logical property |
Name of the main logical property. This property will be the logical origin of the column inserted in the list by the RAD. |
Column type |
Column's type of representation. A combo box is displayed when you click in the cell. |
Possible values: Standard column Hidden column |
The graphical representation of all the column's elements is a text field or an input field, if the list is in update mode. The column is not visible. The graphical representation of all the column's elements is a combo box; it is only available if the list is in update mode. Here, for the Prompt information, you must specify the logical entity that will serve to define the loading of the combo box. |
Sort |
If this checkbox is checked, the column will be sorted when the user clicks on the column header. |
Prompt |
Name of a prompt-type program or a logical entity that will be used to create a prompt program or a PR (Prompt) management rule. The This information is only available if the program's list is in update mode. |
Additional field |
Logical property which will be the logical origin of a new standard column in the program's list. This property complements the main logical property since it comes from a logical entity whose first keys have the same definition as the keys of the main property's entity, and whose last key has the same definition as the main property. This additional field is mainly used to have a "name" column when the main property is a code (for example: obtaining the name of a country from a country code). The |
