Tie database field to text in requirement
« on: September 14, 2018, 05:58:19 am »
All,

I am importing a table from a SQL database. It has a large number of fields, some have similar names and I'd like to show the user the particular field in the database model table. I'd prefer that the pointer to the field ends up as a hyperlink and updates automatically or if I just didn't need to type and maintain all them by hand.

Req: 002 The periodic report will include the following data elements:

Client name <<column>> Profit Center Name
PC Organization Value <<column>> Profit Center
PC Organization Name <<column>> Legal Entity
Location code (L-Code) <<column>> LCode

Does anyone know of a way to do that?

Thanks!

Pat

My brain isn't up to getting the full story. But from the stomach it feels like you can just add a note. Attach one to the table and use Advanced/Link Element Feature from the context of the Note link. Then choose Attributes from the list and select one. The note from that will be filled in the Note element.
