View Tab (Magic xpa 2.x)
When you click the View tab, the details of the XML structure will open at the bottom of the screen. This includes a Path section with all of the compound and simple elements (according to the XSD hierarchy), and the Simple Elements table with definitions of the simple elements. A tree node can contain up to 256 characters.
The View tab uses the following icons to help you easily differentiate between the different types of elements in the view:
|
|
Simple
|

|

From the View tab, you can right-click and a shortcut menu will appear with a number of options, including:
-
Properties – Click this option to access the Column Properties sheet.
-
Include in View – Select this option to include the element in the view. Once you select this option, the icon for the element will have a checked sign signifying that it has been selected to be included in the view and is now available for use.

Note:
|
-
When Magic xpa sets up the view, it makes some assumptions about the data, using defaults that are set up in the DBMS repository. Check the data formats, such as Picture, to make sure they match the actual data.
-
Only one BLOB is allowed per XML View.
