DT410 Data area

DI000198 DA

ID of the data area. Automatically incrementing number which is formed of the license number and a continuous counter.

DI028206 Layout

This parameter is used to define the layout of the data area.

Values

0: horizontal layout
- The fields within a record are displayed horizontally.
1: vertical layout
- The fields within a record are displayed vertically.
2: Form
- A display as a form permits the positions of data fields to be specified individually:
  - The position of data fields and their headings can be specified in following parameters:
  - You can also position the form fields graphically with the Module Customizing Tool: Form Editor.
- The order of the data fields in the data area is their tab order.

Examples

0: horizontal layout:

1: vertical layout:

Note

To align the records in a module you can use the Side-by-side parameter in the Modules module.

DI041092 DA Python ID

Python name of the data area. It is used in connection with Python to identify the data area.

Note

Python IDs must be usable as Python literals. They must not contain blanks, umlauts, special characters, etc.
The data area python ID must be unique in the module.
Individual Python IDs must start with an L and the license number.
- Example: L011_request
The Python IDs of standard data areas cannot be changed.

DI000391 DDI

ID of the determinant data item of a data area DDI means "determining data item". The determining data item (DDI) is an important attribute of the data area, which is required to render a data area valid.

Rules for allocating a determining data item for data areas:

For normal data areas (which represent 90 % of all cases):
- For the data area, the DDI specifies the main data table which will be processed. The reason for this is that a data area can comprise data from a number of data tables.
- I.e. in a data area in which project data items are edited, the DDI will be the project ID number (it might alternatively be a different DI from the project data table).
For grouped data areas:
- Grouped data areas represent records of a data table, grouped by one of their attributes.
- In a data area by which is grouped, the DDI is a DI which is displayed grouped (e.g. Person responsible for project).
For print areas and scale areas:
- These data areas do not receive their data from a data table. The DDI is therefore unimportant. However, since it has to be specified in order for the data area to be valid, any of the data fields specified in this area can be used.
For sum areas:
- Here, the DDI for sum areas will be used.
- If any other DI is used, the summarization will not work properly.

Note

On the DDI a TrLt is implemented which signalizes (red) whether there is no DDI is entered or whether an inactive DDI is entered.
- If you try to enter an inactive DI as a DDI the following message isdisplayed: The data item is inactive!

DI002063 Determining data item

Name of the determining data item (DDI)

DI041420 DT

Data table. This shows the data table for the DDI and hence the DT addressed in the data area.

Note

If, contrary to expectation, it proves impossible to set up any data in a newly created module, the most common reason for this fault is that data fields from different data tables have been used in an area. This field helps in tracking down the error.

DI001720 Grouping

This parameter is to be activated while customization of grouped areas for the area by which is grouped.

DI000149 VH MOD/DA

Displays the number of modules in which the data area appears.

Details

If the data area is used in more than one module, the yellow traffic light is displayed in the field.
In the standard, this field is customized to be a link in the Data Areas module. When clicking on the number, the Data Area Use module is opened, in which all modules to which the data area is assigned, are listed.

Note

Changes in one data area are effective in all modules to which this data area is assigned.

DI001719 DA class

Values

0: Normal data area: These are data areas in which data fields with no other special features, such as a tabular format, are held.
- Print areas receive DA class = 0 just like normal data eras.
1: Scale area: The purpose of a scale area is to bring together the scale lines (see complex DI Scale). In addition, the scale area contains the specification of the scale factor for the scale.
3: Sum area: An area of this type shows only the sums or other aggregation data (min., max.) derived from elements in other areas. It requires a particular DDI.
7: Button area
8: Office chart
10: Excel area
11: Graphical structure display Is used e.g. in project breakdown structure display

DI040870 Recursive relation

Using this parameter you can display data of a data area stuctured.

Information

One speaks of a recursive structure (also recursive relation) if data of a data table possess a hierarchical relation to other data of the same data table.

Relations are specified according to the following formula:

[Relation type] [DI tupel]
- Explanation
  - [Relation type] = "N:1" | "1:N"
  - [DI tuple] = "," [ Source DI] ":" [Target DI] ([DI tuple])
    - [Source-DI] = DIs which correspond to the DIs of the target DIs
    - [Target DI] = All 1:1 ID DIs of the data table of the data area
    - ([DI tuple]) meas, this part can be repeated as often as desired

Example

N:1,DI001097:DI001097,DI008851:DI001098

DI001097 Project ID
DI008851 Parent task ID
DI001098 Task ID
- Means: A parent task can have several child tasks, but a task can only have one parent task.
