Creating Tables With Direct Controller Access 

The table template supports you in creating a table for the WD view layout. When you define this table layout, you also can access the controller context data directly for binding purposes.

Prerequisites

You have completed all steps described under Applying View Templates.

The graphical Data Modeler tool is started.

Before you start with the layout definition and data binding for the table, you must set the data flow definition from the backend to the application controller as well as from the controller to the view already created. Therefore, proceed as described under Creating a Data Link.

Procedure

       1.      Choose context menu entry Apply Template, next option Table, and make the necessary wizard entries. For example, you will select the context attributes you require for the table.

       2.      If there are changes needed for the bound data, switch to the next wizard screen. There you can change the table entries – for example, the display sequence of the properties – by choosing an entry and moving up or down with the arrow keys.

Result

You can display the created layout in the View Designer tool, which you start in the Data Modeler by double-clicking the view for which you created the form layout.
