Forms: Stream View Attribute
The following attributes are configured for each stream view attribute:
Form: Stream View Attribute Details
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The name of the selected stream attribute. |
| Type | The type of the selected stream attribute. This cannot be edited here. It must be edited in the stream attribute. |
| Alias | The display name of the selected stream attribute in the view, should you wish it to be different. This is particularly useful if you specify an Aggregate Function. If you want to give the value that is generated by the aggregate function a different name from the original attribute name, specify it here. By default, the aggregated value will be given the same name as the original attribute. For example, if you are going to display the average age of debt, by applying the aggregate function Average on the attribute Debt Age, you may want to call this Avg Debt Age on the chart. |
| Aggregate Function | An Aggregate Function is only selected when you are creating a Grid view (a table of data) and you have specified one or more other attributes in your view, by which the data can be grouped. If required, select an aggregate function from the drop down list. |
| Grid Default Width (pixels) | This is only used when creating a Grid view - sets the width of the column for this attribute. PhixFlow will create the grid with default column widths - you only need to specify a value in this field if the width you want is different from this default. |
| Width On Form (pixels) | This is only used when creating a Form view - sets the width of the form field for this attribute. PhixFlow will create the form field with a default width - you only need to specify a value in this field if the width you want is different from this default. |
| Height On Form (pixels) | This is only used when creating a Form view - sets the height of the form field for this attribute. PhixFlow will create the form field with a default height - you only need to specify a value in this field if the height you want is different from this default. |
| Multiline on Form | If checked, it is possible to press the Enter key on this field to create multiple lines. |
| Changes Row Colour | This is only used when creating a Grid view. If ticked, then the row colour changes whenever the value in this field changes. |
| Read Only | This is only used when creating a Form view - sets the attribute so that it cannot be edited in the form. |
| Hidden | This is only used when creating a Form view - sets the attribute so that it cannot be seen on the form. |
| Selection View Attribute | This is only used when creating a Form view that will be used to obtain data from a user during a stream action. This sets the dropdown list from which the user can pick a value. Drag the stream view attribute that you want to use for the dropdown list into this field. The Show the dropdown button option should be ticked to display the drop down. If another stream view attribute has a Selection View Attribute set and has Show the dropdown button set to yes, then it is possible to set the current stream view attribute from the same selection view without a further dropdown list. Drag the stream view attribute that you want to use to set this stream view attribute into this field Drag the attribute out of the field to delete the contents of the Selection View Attribute. |
| Show the dropdown button | This is only used when creating a Form view that will be used to obtain data from a user during a stream action. This causes a dropdown list, from which the user can pick a value, to appear. See Select View Attribute (above) for further information. |
| Size On Form | This is only used when creating a Form view. It shows how big the form field will be on the form. If you change the Width On Form (pixels) and Height On Form (pixels) values, then the size of this field will change. |
