The Data tab is only visible in the Properties view when there is a query added to the element. In the All properties tab, these properties are located at the top-level and in the Data sections.
Type | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
Data Source | String | The data source schema name. You cannot edit this property. Example: Generic XML 1 |
Context | String | If the query is on an element nested within another element, the context of the parent element is listed for this property. You cannot edit this property. Example: $7 is the context for the parent element. |
Query | String | The name of the query as specified in the data source schema. |
Sort | String | The Rational® Publishing Engine or native sort applied to the element. |
Limit | String | Enter a number to generate only a certain number of data values in your output. |
Filter | String | The Rational Publishing Engine or native filter applied to the element. |
Recursive Level | Number | Instead of adding a query and each of
its child queries in your template to extract a set of data, you can
use the Recursive Level and Recursive
Segments. Use these properties together to specify only
the parent query in your template and extract data from that query
and all of its child queries. The Recursive Level is the number of times the recursive segments in the query are repeated. Example: In the query Module/Object/Link/Linked Object, if you entered 2 for the recursive segment value and 3 for the recursive level value, Link/Linked Object would repeated 3 times. The resulting query is Module/Object/Link/Linked Object/Link/Linked Object/Link/Linked Object. |
Recursive Segments | Number | Instead of adding a query and each of
its child queries in your template to extract a set of data, you can
use the Recursive Level and Recursive
Segments. Use these properties together to specify only
the parent query in your template and extract data from that query
and all of its child queries. The number of segments in the query that are to be repeated. Example: In the query Module/Object/Link/Linked Object, if you entered 2 for the recursive segment value, Link/Linked Object are the segments that are repeated. |

Row break across page | true, false | When set to true, a row that does not fit on a page is pushed to the second page. When not set or set to false, a row that does not fit on a page is split horizontally onto two pages. |
Row repeat at page beginning | true, false | When set to true, the row can be
used as a header row if the table carries onto multiple pages. When set to false, the row does not repeat on multiple pages. If rows span more than one page, the content might be truncated. The default value is true. |
Once per table | true, false | When set to true, duplicate rows
are removed from consecutive tables that display as merged tables
in the generated output. Attention: If the row element
is inside of a container element, do not set once per table to true.
|
Remove if empty | true, false | This property only applies to rows or cells that are generated
by queries. Header rows do not impact the behavior of this property. When set to true, if there is not any data to generate and populate the row with, then the row does not display in the output. A row also does not display when the property is set to true and there are generated rows that do not have any cells in them. If there are generated rows with empty cells in them, the row still displays despite the property setting. When set to false, if there is not any data to populate the row with, the empty row still displays in the output. |
