Content (Text)
You can choose two options to define the button text:| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Manual Text | Enter a fixed/static text that will always be shown on the button. |
| External data from the following data source | Connect the button text to real-time data from a data provider. The text will automatically update based on the data source content. |
Data Provider
-
A data provider is a connection to an external data source, such as:
- Database tables, queries, stored procedures.
- XML files, RSS feeds, and other data formats.
- Data providers are defined at presentation level, making them available to all elements within your presentation.
-
You can create a new data provider directly by clicking the button next to the dropdown box.
(See “Working with Data Providers” for detailed guidance.)
Fields to Define for External Data Source
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Column | The specific column in the data source that contains the text to display. |
| Content Type | Determines how the content from the data source should be interpreted (e.g., plain text, formatted). |
| Row | The specific row in the data source to pull the text from. |
Remarks
- If the data provider delivers fewer rows than specified in the Row property, no content will be shown on the button.
- This dynamic setup allows the button to update its label automatically based on real-time data, enhancing interactivity and responsiveness.
