Dynamic View

The "Dynamic View" view element is one of the basic controls. If you link this element to a data field—such as a user ID—it can display a different value from the same data set, such as the corresponding username.

The dynamic view is also available as a control type in view tables. There, you'll also have the option to adjust the displayed value.

You can find the "Dynamic View" element in the "Applications" module under "Elements. " You can create a new dynamic view by dragging and dropping the element from here onto the workspace.

For more information on creating elements, click here.

The Properties dialog box opens automatically. You can open the Properties dialog box for an existing element by double-clicking the element on the workspace, selecting "Properties" from the context menu, or choosing "Edit / Properties" from the main menu when the element is selected on the workspace.

Key Comparison: Case-Sensitive / Case-Insensitive

To perform a case-insensitive key comparison against a database using the dynamic view, a setting is required. Settings can be created in Expert Mode. You can find all the information here.

In the Properties dialog box for the dynamic view, switch to the "Expert" tab and then go to "Settings." Select the following key:

control.dynamicControl.application.key.compareMode

By default, a key comparison is performed using the "caseSensitive" dynamic view. For a case-insensitive comparison, select "caseInsensitive" as the value here.
