Displaying Advanced Data Table data on an object
The Advanced Data Table custom field can open in a new or modal window. The '''Open in Modal Window''' option is recommended. You can toggle this on under '''Document Options'''.
By default the information entered into this field type is hidden until the user clicks a button. But there is a way to display the information entered into this field on your object, such as a grant application, without requiring the user to click a button and launch the modal window.
Use the '''Display - Text and Variables''' custom field to display the content of the Advanced Data Table on the object. The same syntax can be used elsewhere in the system when referencing this field's values.
# For '''Field Type''' select '''Display - Text and Variables'''.
# Enter a '''Field Name'''.
# For '''Variables''' enter '''@xml.''CustomFieldName''.''SectionNodeName''.html@''' (replace the CustomFieldName and SectionNodeName with the actual names from your XMLexample '''@xml.Budget.Expenses.html@''').
# Scroll Down to the '''Display''' section.
# For '''Caption''' select '''Hide Caption''' (we recommended that you hide the caption for the display so that you can utilize the full screen width).
# Click '''Save'''.
# Navigate back to the XML custom Advanced Data Table field and click '''Save''' ('''Display Fields Refreshed Upon Edit''' will be updated with this updates the linkage and ensures when data is entered into the custom field ID of worksheet the Read Only we just created. From now data displayed on when a user edits the XML the read only object will be also get automatically updated. If you miss this step it , information entered into the Advanced Data Table will only refresh in the Display - Text and Variables field when the object is saved).
