  • Article

The following table shows how the names of the elements that are children of the record element correspond to attribute settings in the configuration information for various HTCs.

 The dataid element names contained in the record elements in the XML data should correspond to the value of the id attribute for the child elements of the fields element in the XML meta-data.

The child elements of the fields element are the set: boolean, date, numeric, select, text, and time.
ListSheet

ListEditor

 The dataid element names contained in the record elements in the XML data should correspond to the value of the id attribute for the column elements in the XML meta data.

  • In the ListSheet HTC, this is the column element that is a child of the columns element, not the column element that is a child of the subobject element.

ListSheet HTCs that use this form of data display flat lists. In this case the meta data subobject element should not be used.

  • Since the ListEditor HTC embeds both a ListSheet HTC and an EditSheet HTC, and its meta-data contains both field elements and column elements, the dataid element is interpreted both ways.
