The List Table control is used to select a table for storing list data. To use the existing table, you need to create a table before navigating to the List Designer. For more information on creating a table, see Create Lists.
By default, the Generic Table option is selected and the corresponding Properties dialog box opens, which allows you to set its properties.
There are two tabs for setting the properties:
Basic
|
Field |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Tag name |
Enter a tag name that identifies the control name. |
|
Description |
Enter a description for the control. |
|
Mapped XML Node |
This field displays the XML node mapped to the control. It allows mapping of a List to a Form and the Form to a Workflow. When you add a control for the first time, the XML Node is dynamically altered to reflect the Tag Name. Note: Editing the Mapped XML Node at a later instance will affect the mapping between Forms, Lists and Workflows. |
|
Table Name |
This field displays the database table name to which the list main form is bound to. To edit the table, click the Table button and select the required table. |
Advanced
|
Field |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Id |
The reference identification code in this field is generated automatically. |
Note: For generic List, ensure that the Bound to DB column Name is not the same for both Parent and Child control.
In addition, if 2 rows have the same data in all the columns displayed in the grid, then the row will not be displayed twice, since we use Distinct queries.
So ensure that at least one column (Display column) is added to distinguish the 2 data rows containing similar data.
