Changing content based on a value
Changing the contents of a cell or row in a Dynamic Table, based on the value of a data field,
requires a script. See "Using scripts in Dynamic Tables" on page886.
Formatting values in a Dynamic Table
Values in Dynamic Table cells can be formatted in different ways. A date value, for example,
could be displayed as "Apr 2, 2016" (short date) or "4/2/16 12:00 AM"(medium date/time).
Which formats are possible depends on the data type of the field that the cell is associated to
(see "Data types" on page279)
For an explanation of the possible formats see "Formatting variable data" on page792.
Selecting a format
The format of each value can be chosen when creating a table.
In an existing table you can change the formatting in two ways:
l Select the element that contains the value (i.e. a cell or a Span element) and then use the
Format drop-down on the "Attributes pane" on page1038.
l Open the "Source tab" on page1061 and manually add the desired format to the cell
using the data-format attribute (see "A Dynamic Table's data- attributes" on
page815).
Hiding an empty Dynamic Table
The number of rows in a Dynamic Table is variable, as it depends on a detail table in the data.
You can hide a table that does not contain any data. There are two ways to achieve that.
