The Data Source is included in the Page Section list. This is the name of the User Table that drives the content of the section.

Also in the list is the Data Source Type. The Data Source Type is either 'Single-Record' where there is only one record related to the current assignment whose fields are displayed in an edit container, or 'Multi-Record' where there can be several child records related to the assignment whose fields are displayed in a grid.

Page Section Configuration

User Table – This drop-down list displays the tables containing the data that should be displayed in the user page section. Only tables at the same level as the user page can be selected.

Section Caption – This field will serve as a header for the section. If no value is given for this field, the value will default to the name of the corresponding user table on the user page.

Sequence - Determines the order in which the section will be displayed on the page in relation to other content.

Secure Section - Check the box if you would like this section to appear in the Screen Section Rights of Role Maintenance to configure independent security from that of the page security.

New Page Section Configuration content must be saved before selecting the fields that will appear in the content.

Field Layout

Use the Field Layout section to define the fields from the User Table that will be included on the User Page. Multi-Record User Tables have each record displayed in a grid on the User Page, as well as an editor when viewing a specific record.

The Grid Layout settings define which fields will appear in the grid (Show) and the order they will be presented (Sequence). Data in the grid can be sorted using the Sort Direction and Sort Order fields; Fields used to sort data do not necessarily have to be visible in the grid.

The Edit Mode Layout settings define which fields will appear when a specific record is being viewed or edited, and apply to both Single-Record and Multi-Record User Tables. Check the Show box for the field to appear on the screen, and enter the optional Row and Column values to define the layout of each field on the screen. Equus Platform currently limits User Pages to a maximum of three columns for field layout.

Single-Record tables may appear multiple times on each User Page, but each specific field may appear only once.
