Using a database as the source of index values
You can create an index field that uses a database as the source of index values. This allows users at
the device to select from a list of available values on the Index screen.
If the database administrator modifies index values in a database that are associated with a Quick
Connect index field, users will have access to the changed index values. You do not need to make
any changes to the index field in the Administration console.
To use a database as the source of index values:
1 Select Quick Connect > Properties > Index File .
2 Click New .
The Index Field Editor window opens.
3 Under Index Field , enter a Name , then select Database as the Type.
4 Click Configure .
If you have not configured a data source, the Configure Datasource window opens (see
“Configuring a datasource” ).
If you have configured a data source, the Select Recent DataSource window opens.
> To use an existing data source, select it, then click OK .
> If you do not want to use an existing data source, click New in the Select Recent
DataSource window and then configure another data source (see “Configuring a
datasource” ).
After selecting or configuring a data source, the Data Field Selector window opens.
5 On the Choose Index Field tab, select a table, select a column in the table, and then select the
default value from the list of available index values. The user at the device can accept the
default index value for the index field or select an index value from the list.
6 Click OK to return to the Index Field Editor window.
The window displays the settings you have configured.
7 Click OK to save the settings and return to the Index File tab.
The Index File list displays the name and summary information for the Database index field
you created.
