8-2-3-3 Creating New SQL-based Local View (in Custom Tab)
The Custom Tab SQL View can only be displayed in the Terminal Details pane (in the tab called Custom
Information). This view is not available for Dashboards. The following considerations are there while creating
these views:
• Only statements that begin with SELECT and EXEC can be put into the SQL tab of the view properties
dialog for this view type.
• The permissions for these views can be assigned in the similar manner as they are assigned for normal
views.
• The views in the Custom Information tab do not auto-refresh and there is currently no option to make them
auto-refresh. After selecting the desired view from the Views combo box, the custom tab view will be
refreshed whenever a different record is selected or the "Show" button is pressed.
• Queries can contain the name of columns and these will be replaced as appropriate depending on the
selected record in a view. The Terminal Details displays the data for the selected Terminal in a view.
• Chart type is not supported for these views.
For example,
SELECT CITY,REGION FROM ATMPROFILES WHERE TERMID=’%TERMINAL ID%’
NOTE: The single quotes around %TERMINAL ID% are required since the underlying field in the table is of string
(varchar/char) type.
NOTE: Also while saving this view, the SQL is not checked except that it should begin with SELECT or EXEC.
So care needs to be taken while inputting SQL statements.
