Dynamic view

The "Dynamic view" view element is one of the basic controls. If you link this element to a data field, e.g. a User ID, you can display a different value from the same data group, e.g. the corresponding username.

The dynamic view also exists as a control type in view tables. There you also have the option of adjusting the display value.

The "Dynamic view" element can be found in the "Applications" module in the "Elements" area. A new dynamic view can be created by dragging & dropping the element from here and positioning it in the workspace.

More information on creating elements can be found here.

The properties dialog opens automatically. The properties dialog of an existing element can be opened by double-clicking the element in the workspace, via the "Properties" context menu, or via the "Edit / Properties" main menu, if the element is selected in the workspace.
