DT440 Data item structure

Caution

  • If system customizing changes are made to data tables or data items (e.g. new data items are created, data item parameters are changed), the Tools → Restart PLANTA service menu item must be executed in order to make the changes visible.
    • Note: If you click on the menu item, all open client connections (sessions) are closed. During restart, new client connections are not possible. This does not apply to changes made to I-texts, e.g. changes to the DI name or adjustment of value ranges (also of the VR type).
    • Before restarting the service, the target directory must be deleted so it can be created anew upon server restart in order to make sure that the POJO classes contained in it, which are responsible for the meta data of the data dictionary, are generated anew.

DI000364 SUBDI

ID number of the subordinate data item

DI002065 Subordinate data item

Name of the subordinate data item

DI001786 Function

Determines the properties of the subordinate data item, i.e. the effect it has on the complex DI. The function depends on the class of the complex DI.

Values

  • A: traffic light function
  • SD: start date for bars and scales
  • B: blue component for color display
  • D: dominance for criteria for bars
  • ET: end date for bars and scales
  • F: color (preview field for a color ID data item)
    • The subordinate data item must be the color ID here.
    • Class = 4
  • FE: field coordinates for form fields
  • FT: format (preview field for a format ID data item)
    • For this purpose, the subordinate data item must be the format ID.
    • Class = 4
  • G: green component for color display
  • GL: grid line
  • I: text output in bar
  • ID: ID number
  • IS: individual symbol
  • KO: text constant
  • Q: source file
  • R: red component for color display
  • S: symbol (preview field for a format ID data item)
  • SA: alternating shading
    • Class = 3
    • In Value from there is a grid (week, month, ...).
    • If Option contains a non-zero value, alternating shading is applied.
    • The shading uses the symbol from the sub-DI. If the shading is to be done according to Work = , a non-zero value is to be specified in the Optiondata field.
  • SB: shading according to basic calendar
    • Class = 3
    • The days for which Work = is stored in the basic calendar are shaded with the Sub-DI symbol stored in the parameter.
  • D: date
  • D: text
  • TL: date line
    • Class = 3
    • With the help of this function you can draw the today line. 
  • UE: heading coordinates for form fields
  • VA: relationship type
  • VE: E-arrow
  • VL: line
  • VR: alignment
  • W: Value
  • X: X coordinate
  • Y: Y coordinate
  • Z: target file

DI001787 Pos.

Controls the sequence or dominance of the subordinate data items

Values

  • For Function = D:
    • Specification of dominance: Lowest number means greatest dominance. This determines which criterion is considered first when several are satisfied at the same time.
  • For Function = I:
    • Specification of the order in which the text items are arranged within the bar.
  • For Function = A:
    • Specification of the order in which the traffic lights are placed. Here, pos. refers to dominance:
      • If the value for the sub-DI with Pos. = 1 is satisfied, the symbol of this sub-DI is displayed regardless of the values of the following sub-DIs.
      • The symbols of the sub-DIs with higher positions are only displayed if all values of the previous positions are not satisfied.

Example

Constellation

  • DIxxxxxx has the following sub-DIs with the following values:

Item*Value fromValue toSUBDI symbol
SUBDIxxxxxx11AZred
SUBDIxxxxxx221100yellow
SUBDIxxxxxx330.0010.01black

Interpretation

  • As long as the value of the SUBDIxxxxxx1 is valid (i.e. between A and Z), it is always displayed in red, regardless of whether the values of the other sub-DIs are valid or invalid.
  • Black will only be displayed if the value of the SUBDIxxxxxx3 is valid (i.e. between 0.001 and 0.01) AND values of the SUBDIxxxxxx1 and SUBDIxxxxxx2 are invalid.

DI001785 Value from

The value has different meanings depending on the setting in the Function parameter.

Values

  • Function = D or A:
    • The specification in this field and the specification in the Value to field define the value range. If the value of the corresponding sub-DI is within this frame, the symbol of this sub-DI is displayed.
  • Function = TL (date line for Scale):
    • Specifies the date through which you want the dateline to run.

Example

  • @15 (= today)
  • @15 + 30 (= today + 30 days)
  • Function = VR (Linkage: Alignment)
    • 0: horizontal
    • 1: vertical
  • Function = FT
    • Date for incarnation

DI001558 Value to

see the Value from parameter

DI001791 Option

For Function = TL:

  • 1: When it is output, the object is to be positioned in the center of the visible window (= output moves scroll buttons).
  • 10: The line is drawn from the first scale across the entire plan. The line is drawn across the complete interval.
  • 11: The line is drawn from the first scale across the entire plan. The line is drawn from the interval start to the bar.
  • 12: The line is drawn from the first scale across the entire plan. The line is drawn from the bar to the interval end.
  • 20: The line is only drawn within the scales that belong to the bar, the line is drawn across the complete interval.
  • 21: The line is only drawn within the scales that belong to the bar. The line is drawn from the interval start to the bar.
  • 22: The line is only drawn within the scales that belong to the bar. The line is drawn from the bar to the interval end.

For Function = A:

  • 0: Traffic light takes effect if the entered values apply
  • 2: Traffic light takes effect for counter-values

For Function = D and Function = A:

  • 2: value means "without"

DI001784 SUBDI symbol ID

ID of the symbol used to display the sub-DI

Preview of the symbol used to display the sub-DI

DI026621 ID secondary symbol

ID of the symbol which is used in addition to the first symbol (see DI001784) for subordinate data items. This is e.g. necessary for customizing vertical date lines below the scale.

DI064783 Secondary symbol
