Using a database as the source of field values
You can create a file name field or an index field that uses a database as the
source of field values. Users at the device can then select from a list of
available values for that field.
If the database administrator modifies
, in a da
tabase, values that are
associated with a Quick Connect field, users will have access to the
changed values. You do not need to make any changes to the field in the
Administration console.
To use a database as the source of field values:
1 In the console tree, select Quick Connect > Properties > File
Name or Index File.
2 Click New.
The Field Editor or Index Field Editor window opens (see
pag
e 19).
3 In the Name field, enter a name for the new field.
4 In the Type field, select Database as the type.
5 Configure the database.
If you have previously configured a da
ta source, the Select Recent
Data Source window opens.
■ To use an existing data source, select it and then click OK.
■ If you do not want to use an existing data source, click New.
The Configure Data Source window opens. Follow the
instructions for configuring a new data source (see page 31).
If you have not previously configured a data source, the
Confi
gure D
ata Source window opens. Follow the instructions
for configuring a new data source.
After selecting or configur
ing a data s
ource, the Data Field
Selector window opens.
6 On the Choose Field tab, select a table, select a column in the
table, and then select the default file name or index value from the
list of available values. The user at the device can accept the default
value for the field or select a value from the list.
