The dynamic data set properties and data elements are designed in uDesigner. The properties window identifies:
- Master Data Element, which drives the behavior of the set.
- Value Set, which lists the data elements whose values will be controlled by the master element (for example, if the master element is Country, then the value set might include a pull-down data element State, the values of which will change depending on the country chosen.
- Behavior Set, listing elements whose behavior is controlled by the master element (for example, a field that becomes Required or Disabled depending on the value chosen for the master element (for example, the Country chosen might dictate whether the Postal Code or Zip Code field is enabled for the user).
To view dynamic data set properties
- Go to the Company Workspace tab and switch to Admin mode.
- Click Data Structure Setup>Dynamic Data Sets in the left Navigator. The Dynamic Data Sets log opens.
- Select the dynamic data set to edit and click Properties. The Properties window opens. The Properties window is view-only.
- The General tab displays the general information about the dynamic data set:
- Name and Description
- Master Data Element: the data element that serves as the master data element for the set
- Data Definition: the data definition corresponding to the master data element. The data definition will be a pull-down menu or radio buttons. The values available for the master data element are entered in the Data Set tab for the data definition.
- Form Label: the form label of the master data element
- Click the Value Set tab. This tab displays the data elements of the value set, which are the fields whose values will be controlled by the master data element selection at runtime. The Master data element is the first element on the list. Values of each data element are based on the data set values defined under base Data Definition.
- Click the Behavior Set tab. This tab displays the data elements of the behavior set, whose behavior (Required, Disabled) will be controlled by the master data element selection at runtime.
