Related tables

The tab for related tables is similar to the Attributes tab, with the following differences:

The related table tab title consists of the icon and the name of the related table.
The related table tab can be displayed with two different views: a list view and a single row view.
Both views have an Up button at the bottom of the tab, which goes to the parent tab. If the relationship is with the feature attribute table the parent tab is the Attributes tab or the first tab of a custom form. If the relationship is with another related table the parent tab is this related table.
Each related tabletab has a number of additional buttons at the bottom. These buttons behave slightly differently for each type of view.

List view

The related table list view consists of a list of records and columns in the table, with one row per record. Rows or records can be added or deleted in the list view, but the record contents cannot be edited.

The list view has the following buttons at the bottom of the tab:

Moves the selection up one row

Moves the selection down one row.

Adds a new row and automatically switches to the single-row view.

Deletes the selected row.

Switches to the single-row view

Single-row view

The single-row view has two columns: Property and Value. The data can be edited in the single-row view. This view also includes rows for the parent table and any secondary related tables. The Up button can be used to easily navigate to the parent table, while the Down button can be used to easily nagivate to any secondary related tables.

Property

Tap any property name to edit its associated value (if the values are read/write).

Value

Tap any value and tap it again to edit the value (if the values are read/write).

Validation of the data takes place at two levels:

Data is validated according to the definition of the field or property. For example, ArcPad does not allow text characters to be entered into a field that has been defined as numeric.
Data is validated according to the database schema that has been defined for the related table in the AXF file. For example, a property may be associated with a coded value domain that limits the valid values to a predefined list of valid values, which is presented as a drop-down list of values to choose from. Or a property may be associated with a range domain that, for example, limits the valid values from 1 to 100.

The single row view has the following buttons at the bottom of the page:

Saves any changes to the current row and moves to the previous row

Saves any changes to the current row and moves to the next row

Adds a new row and remains in the single-row view.

Deletes the current row

Switches to the list view.
