Dependencies
Applications module
General
Elements
that contain lists of data records in applications, such
as
view tables or
drop-down lists
can be filtered in dependence on other elements.
Every
control
including the
application pages
that are JavaScript-capable, can be used as a triggering control
for a dependency.
Filters in the browser
In a portal that was created with the
Event4Teams portal template,
the Organization menu already contains the Telephone book application.
A dependency has already been defined here.
If a department is selected in the Department
drop-down list,
then the
free layout table
that displays the contacts will be filtered accordingly.
Configuration in the Applications module
You can see the corresponding page on the
workspace.
The Department drop-down list references its
entries
from the
_Department data group
that is also part of this application.
On the
Dependencies tab
of the
properties dialog
of the free layout table, the "Department" dependency is
in the "Selected" column. Click on

"Edit dependency"
to open a
dialog
where the dependency settings can be edited.
In the properties of the dependency, the filter is defined to trigger
when the onchange event occurs in the "Department" drop-down list,
meaning that a department is selected in the browser. Click
here
for information about how the triggering control can be defined.
The filter can be defined in the Filter area. This filter is applied to
the date in the table when the event is triggered.
