Add Datasheet View
The Add Datasheet View dialog box is opened from the Datasheet Views dialog and is used to define the source of data and columns to be displayed in a Datasheet Element. To create a new view, click on Add Datasheet View at the bottom of the Datasheet Views dialog box.
Enter the Name of the view and check Private if the view should not be shared. Check Default if this will be the default view for this Datasheet Element. Optionally, you can add a Description to the view.
You can now choose a Datasheet Source option:
- Form Result/Custom Element Sheet - With this type of datasheet, you can present data that are submitted by users using a Simple Form Element or data that are created for a Custom Element.
- Page Result Sheet - This type of datasheet is used to present data, including standard and custom metadata, for CommonSpot pages and documents.
- Custom Query Result Sheet - This option allows you to present the result set of a custom SQL query that is executed against one of the CommonSpot databases. This type of datasheet allows you to present data that are otherwise inaccessible to users.
After making your selections, click Next, CommonSpot displays a dialog box that lets you create the Datasheet. The dialog box for each source option is different.
