 Button to create components in a dynamic tab.

 

Example on how to create components in the " Sport-News " dynamic tab :

 

The second stage of creation requires to define the "components" in "Sport-News" :

 

-A Browser column called " Last modification ". Associated to the DATE_END_ITEM column of the T_ITEM table.

-Another Browser column called " Duration ".  Associated to the ITEM_DURATION column of the T_ITEM table.

-A third column called " Title ". Associated to STRING_1 in the T_ITEM table: it will be used to display the title of the element.

-A last column called " Author ". Associated to STRING_2 in the T_ITEM table: it will be used to display the name of the journalist.

 

This last column will also be declared as a " search criteria ", taking the shape of an EDIT BOX.

 

-Eventually, an " indexing " category called " Sport ". Associated to STRING_3 in the T_ITEM table: it will be used to indicate the sport category in the index cards, when saving, modifying, or copying the element.

 

Therefore, in the Radio-Assist browser, the new " Sport-News " tab will appear, displaying four columns :

 

- " Last modification ", " Duration ", " Title " and " Author ". A " search criteria " will also be available:

-" Author ".

 

This criteria is displayed under the shape of a " populating field " (EDIT BOX). In the index cards, the " Sport-News " tab appears with the " Sport " fields. Obviously, it is possible to apply the indexing function to the other components of this object.

 

Note :

The order for the different components can be changed by a simple " Drag&Drop " operation: this order will be respected when displaying the tabs in the RadioAssist browser.
