Changing Data
Use
If the data in your list can be changed, you can add UI elements to the cells that make it possible to change specific values. Your application can provide the following UI elements:
● Input field
● Dropdown list box
● Checkbox
● Toggle button
Completing Data Entry
It is important that any changes you make to the data in your application be checked at specific times to ensure that certain rules are followed; this includes, for example, checks for the data format and fixed values.
Dates entered in your application require the formats DD.MM.YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY.
You can change the date in the Date column. The system then checks whether you have entered the date in one of the permitted formats, or whether you inadvertently entered a decimal point instead of a comma.
Exactly when the system checks the data for correctness is specified by your application. However, the data is always checked in the following cases:
● If you choose one of the following pushbuttons from the application toolbar of the list:
○ Check
○
with the quick info text Open Settings
Dialog or Close Settings
Dialog
○
with the quick info text Display Filter
Row or Delete Filter and Close Filter
Row
● If you choose another view
● If you sort the list by choosing one of the column headers
Your application can also specify other times at which a check is to be triggered.
Prerequisites
In addition to the general prerequisites for changing data (see Changing Data), you must also ensure the following:
● The list contains the UI elements listed above.
● The UI elements are active and can therefore be used.
