Stardraw Design 7.4 exposes a collection of datasets whose fields can be used to populate reports. These are:
Each dataset contains 'members'. While the Project and User datasets have only one member each (being the project itself, and you, the user) the other datasets can have multiple members i.e. every Product in the project, every Cable in the project, and every Drawing in the project.
For each member, the dataset exposes fields that can each contain a specific value for the member, as shown below. Except where otherwise indicated, the field value is of String (text) format.
The Products dataset includes product identifiers i.e. Manufacturer, Model Number, Description and ID plus any Attributes that are defined for the products in your project. The default fields for the Products dataset are;
If you have removed any default Attributes listed above using Tools | Personalization | Product Attributes then they will not appear as fields in the dataset.
The Project dataset includes details of the Project, defined in the Dashboard | Project Details view and includes by default these fields:
Because there is only one Project that a report can reference at any given time, there is only one member in this dataset i.e. the details of the current project.
The Cables dataset includes any Attributes that are defined for the Cables in your project as well as their Cable Labels and also the identifiers and Attributes of the products each Cable connects from and to, plus the ID of any connected Feather. The default fields for the Cables dataset are;
If you have removed any default Attributes listed above using Tools | Personalization | Cable Attributes & Presets then they will not appear as fields in the dataset.
The User dataset includes your details as defined in Tools | Personalization | Personal Details and includes by default these fields:
Because there is only one User that a report can reference at any given time, there is only one member in this dataset i.e. you.
To use the Logo image in a report, first insert an Image control and set its Data properties as shown here. To ensure that the Image retains the correct proportions, in the Layout group set Sizing to "FitProportional".
The Drawing dataset includes a vector representation of the drawing and any Attributes that are defined for the drawings in your project. The default fields for the Drawing dataset are;
If you have removed any default Attributes listed above using Tools | Personalization | Drawing Attributes then they will not appear as fields in the dataset.
To use the Project Drawing image in a report, first insert an Image control and set its Data properties as shown here. To ensure that the Image retains the correct proportions, in the Layout group set Sizing to "FitProportional".
