Setting Up an IDO for a DataView

Use the DataView IDO Setup form when configuring an IDO for a DataView.

You must launch this form from the DataViews Setup form.

To set up the IDO on the DataView IDO Setup form:

1. In the IDO section, specify this information:

   IDO

   This field shows the currently selected IDO from the DataView Setup form.

   Parent

   This field shows a parent IDO if the IDO selected on the DataView Setup form has one.

   Filter

   Click this button to launch the DataView Filter Setup form to write filter syntax.

   Record Cap

   Select the number of records the DataView query returns in the results grid. For this menu, zero means all.

2. When a non-primary IDO is selected on the DataViews Setup form, the Link By section is enabled. Specify this information:

   Link Type

   Select multi-level, which nests the child IDO information under the parent, or single-level, which links them on the same row.

   Parent Property

   Select which property to use to join the parent to the child IDO.

   Child Property

   Select which property to use to join the child to the parent IDO.

3. In the Order By section, specify this information:

   Property

   Select a property of the IDO by which the output is ordered.

   Order

   Select ascending or descending, depending on if you want to order the values from lowest to highest (A to Z), or highest to lowest (Z to A).

   NOTE: You can override the Order By clause in the DataSearch Results by using a Sort By statement at the DataView Layout level.

4. In the Properties section, specify this information:

   Select All

   Click this button to select all rows in the properties grid.

   Deselect All

   Click this button to deselect all rows in the properties grid.

   Selected

   Select the properties of the IDO that should be displayed in the DataView results.

5. Click OK to save the information or click Cancel to discard the information.

For both the Link By and Order By sections, click Add to create a new entry in the text box, and click Remove to erase everything in the text box.
