Content Properties
Row properties
The row properties define the layout and real-time data displayed in each row of the table element. The table automatically repeats this row as many times as needed to fill the table body.
Editing Row Content
- Click Edit to open the Edit Row window.
- Design the row layout by adding page elements and setting their properties.
- Click Close in the File menu.
- Click Yes to confirm and save changes.
- Click OK or Apply in the table properties window to apply changes.
Row Design & Layout
- Similar to designing a standard page, you can add any type of page element (except another table element).
- Elements can be arranged in a single line or multiple lines to create multi-line rows.
- Elements can be linked to a data source for real-time data updates.
Data Display & Scrolling
-
Connected to Data Source:
- Each row element pulls real-time data from a data provider.
- The Row property should be set to 1 for the first row (automatically increases for additional rows).
-
Not Connected to Data Source:
- Displays the same content across all rows.
-
Scrolling Support:
- If more data is available than can fit, the table will scroll to display all data.
- To enable scrolling, turn on data scrolling for each scrolling row element.
- Use “Don’t Scroll the First X Rows” to keep certain rows static.
Using Multiple Data Providers
- A row can include multiple data providers.
- Be aware that each element’s Row property will increase for additional rows.
Row Height & Automatic Adjustment
Height Setting | Behavior |
---|---|
Fixed Height | Row height remains constant. |
Auto Adjust | The system adjusts row height if an element becomes invisible or resized. |
- The bottommost element controls row height adjustment.
- If an element disappears or shrinks, the row height reduces automatically.
Advanced Row Features
Grouping Rows
- Group related data elements together.
- Useful for category-based or sorted tables.
Multi-Line Row Display
- Example: At an airport, the first line displays flight details, and the second line displays route information.
- If no route information exists, the second line disappears, and the row height adjusts automatically.
Property Bindings & Calculated Row Numbers
- When using property bindings, enable scrolling to let the binding dynamically adjust to the correct row number.
- During runtime, the initial row number will be used, and the system calculates additional row numbers as the table refreshes.
Best Practices & Tips
- Enable scrolling for data-driven elements to display all information dynamically.
- Use grouping to categorize data for better readability.
- Set auto-adjust height to avoid empty space when content is missing.
- For dynamic row elements, use rules to show/hide content based on data availability.
- Use property bindings to automatically adjust row numbers when scrolling.
