Adding new nodes

To add a new node

  1. Select a database object in the navigation view.

    The selected database object is displayed in its own tab in the definition tree view.

    NOTE: The procedure for adding new nodes differs somewhat if the database objects are standard objects or custom objects. In the case of standard objects, you must first move the node to the extension using the context menu before you add a new node. You have additional write permissions for custom objects and you can add a node directly under the node in the definition tree view.

  2. Mark a node of Container type, for example, in the definition tree view and select the New node entry from the context menu.

    NOTE: You will see different submenu structures in the context menu depending on which database object or which node types you have selected.

  3. In the New Node dialog, select the node you want from the list or search for it in the search field.
  4. Close the dialog with OK.

    The new node is displayed in the definition tree view.

Create data display

The core task of a web application created with the Web Designer is targeted visualization and manipulation of database objects.

NOTE: The wizard is only available for node types to which corresponding displays can be added.

You can create the following data display types with the wizard.

  • This results in a list of single database objects and allows you to change (overwrite) selected properties.

    This results in a list of single database objects and allows you to change (overwrite) selected properties.

  • Grid display for collection data

    The resulting table shows all properties of database objects. Relations between single database objects can be displayed in hierarchical form.

Detailed information about this topic

Displaying single objects

Use this wizard to include an edit mask into your web project. You can edit several properties of individual data set as a bundle. Use filters to limit how many objects are displayed. Data objects are not mapped in tables but in sections. Each individual data object from the selected or new collection is displayed in such a section (iteration). Therefore, each individual data object produces a data set and is displayed in a list.

To view the object details

NOTE: You must have already selected a database object. If you have selected an object that belongs to the default version, you will find the wizard in the context menu under Element in extension.

  1. For example, mark a node of type Container, and, in the context menu, select the Wizards > Create data display item.
  2. in the Display wizard dialog, mark the Create detailed display and fields for single objects and click OK.

    This opens Source selection. You can apply the following settings.

    Table 52: Settings for selecting source data
    Option Setting Description
    Use existing collection   Selection box with a list of available collections.
      Filter on Input field for filter conditions.
    Create a new collection   Adds a new collection.
      Use display names Enables/Disables displaying of database names.
      Base table Database table selection.
      Collection name

    Input field for the collection name.

    The data object to be displayed are saved in this collection.

      WHERE clause

    SQL input box for setting filter conditions.

    Use to open the filter condition setting wizard and narrow down a search.

    NOTE: The WHERE clause can also contain an internal variable as in the rest of the Web Designer (keyword "Web SQL"). In this case the SQL syntax editor cannot be used. The WHERE clause can still be added or edited after the wizard is closed.

  3. On Source selection page, adjust the settings as required and click Next.

    NOTE: If Read-only is not set, the property in the web application can only be edited with special permissions. You need to add another button once the wizard is complete, so that the changes can be saved in the database. The displayed columns are written as value list directly under PropertyList().

  4. On Select details page, select the database columns for which you want to display detailed information.
  5. Click Finish.

    NOTE: The list of editors is displayed on the web page under each other. To view individual data sets, you must change the container style in the definition tree view, which encloses VI_Common_PropertyEditor.
