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. |

Table autofit | autofit to window, autofit to contents | When set to autofit to window, the table is resized to the width of the page. When set to autofit to contents, the table is resized to text contained within it. |
Resize to fit contents | true, false | When set to true, the column widths are adjusted based on the cell with the largest amount of text contained within it. |
Fixed cell width in column | true, false | When set to true, all of the cells in a column are the same width. |
Cell spacing | 0 to 190 | The number of pixels of white space between cells. |
Default cell alignment | top left, top right, top center, center right, center left, center, bottom right, bottom left, bottom center | Where the lines within a cell begin and end in relation to the page margins. |
XHTML cell merge | true, false | When set to true, tables are rendered in all outputs as XHTML tables are rendered. In Rational Publishing Engine 1.2 and earlier, you might have had to add empty cells to your template when you merged other cells so that the table generated correctly in Microsoft Word and PDF outputs. With XHTML cell merge set to true, you are not required to add these empty cells. When set to false, which is the default setting in Rational Publishing Engine 1.2.0.1, tables are rendered as they were in version 1.2 and earlier. |
Remove if empty | true, false | This property only applies to tables that have 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 a table with, then the table does not display in the output. A table also does not display when the property is set to true and the generated table does not have any rows in it. If there are empty rows in the generated table, the table still displays despite the property setting. When set to false, if there is not any data to populate the table with, the empty table still displays in the output. |
