Rules

Required for Group
Enter any name into this area to specify a validation group for the table content. After that when you enter this same validation group name into Validation Group area on any action button of any task, it will be checked for validation whenever the action is selected on the form.

Section Name
Name of section is for controlling read only or visible state of a section. If set to a value this section can be configured in task properties.

Dynamic Rules
Dynamic rules section allows to specify format and warning messages of any element and section. Dynamic rules section consists of two parts, one of them is for formatting rules and the other one is for validation rules.

  • Formatting rules, allow you to change the formats (text color, background color, style) and visibility of a control depending upon a condition. Further information here.

  • Validation rules, allow you to validate the data that is entered by the end-user. Further information here.

Row Rules
Same rules as the dynamic rules are available but it applies only to the rows that satisfy the condition.

Data

Bound XPath
XPath of the element. If set to empty, it uses parent xpath.

Row Id XPath
Give a specific Id for each row by filling this box with an XPath.

Item XPath
Items of a table content change depending on this setting. Default is " * " which sets it to regard all items as in the same structure. If you want to use different contents for different items you should dictate it by specifying an XPath.

Hierarchy XPath
In a nested xml node structure, for example if your XML looks like the excerpt below, you may specify the starting node of the recurrence. In this example Hierarchy XPath is "Folders".

<Folders>
    <Folder>
        <Name>folder1</Name>
    </Folder>
    <Folder>
        <Name>folder2</Name>
        <Folders>
            <Folder>
                <Name>folder2a</Name>
            </Folder>
            <Folder>
                <Name>folder2b</Name>
            </Folder>
        </Folders>
    </Folder>
</Folders>

<Folders>
    <Folder>
        <Name>folder1</Name>
    </Folder>
    <Folder>
        <Name>folder2</Name>
        <Folders>
            <Folder>
                <Name>folder2a</Name>
            </Folder>
            <Folder>
                <Name>folder2b</Name>
            </Folder>
        </Folders>
    </Folder>
</Folders>

Filter XPath
By using Filter Xpath, it is possible to refine the content of the table. For this example, only the rows where IsCustomer node is set to true, will be displayed.
