Table Properties

Documentation home

Table properties are displayed in the Properties View panel when a field is selected in the Tables View panel.

Property	Description
Table name	The name of the table.
Column prefix	A unique prefix name which is applied to all added table column names.
Resource	The resource to be used as a backing resource for the table. Double-clicking on this property or clicking the … button presents the dialog below: Resource: is the backing resource for the table. The dropdown list shows all resources in the business view which support tables, and which are not already used by other tables. A database table resource can only be used by one table in the form. A table can only be associated with a single resource.  Repeating field: is only applicable for Custom Resources, XML Resources or Web Services Resources; these resources can support multiple tables and this property is used to indicate which table should be used. When the table is part of a deployed component and the resource has been configured in the component, this property cannot be changed and is displayed as read-only.
Client accessibility	This property controls whether the table can be accessed by the Client API. By default a table is Inaccessible. See Client Accessible Fields and Tables for more information.
