DT410 Data area

DI000198 DA

ID of the data area. Automatically incrementing number.which is formed from the license number and an incrementing counter.

DI028206 Layout

This parameter is used to define the data field layout.

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 Customize Forms.
- 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 a data area. It is used in connection with Python to identify the data area.

Notes

Python IDs must be usable as Python literals. They must not contain any special characters, umlauts, spaces, 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 determining data item of a data area. DDI means "determining dataitem". DDI is an important attribute of the data area. If it is missing, a data area cannot be 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 is that a data area can display data from several 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. This makes the DDI irrelevant. However, as it must be specified for a data area to be valid, one of the data fields specified in this area is 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.

Notes

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 to search for the error.

DI001720 Grouping

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

DI000149 UF MOD/DA

Indicates in how many modules the data area is used.

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: Data areas in which data fields are displayed, e.g. in table form, without particularities.
- 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). Furthermore, a range for the scale is specified in the scale area.
3: Sum areas: Such an area only shows the total sums or other summarizations (min., max.) from elements of the 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

This data field serves to have data of a data area displayed in a structured manner.

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 tupel])
    - [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: You can assign several tasks to a parent task but each task can only have one single parent task.

This parameter serves to overwrite the data table name in the Inserting context menu.

Note

If nothing is entered in this field, the name of the data table is used from which the DDI of the data area stems.

Here, an individual heading can be defined for the data area.

Note

If nothing is entered in this field, the name of the data table is used from which the DDI of the data area comes.

DI041093 Altern. Frequency

This parameter determines which lines are highlighted in color in tabular display.

Example

If e.g. value = 3 is entered, every third line will be highlighted.

Details

If no value is entered here, every second line is highlighted by default.
The calculation of alternating shading refers to the part of the tree structure which is visible when opening the module. This ensures that the module looks good when it is opened. However, it can occur that, for example, the alternating shading is not displayed correctly for child records when they are unhidden.
If a new record is inserted in the structured area, the alternating shading of the subsequent records will be recalculated.
Depending on the window, the color of the alternating shading is defined in Altern. color W1, Altern. color W2 and/or Altern. color W3.
