→Displaying Advanced Data Table data on an object
The XML Advanced Data Table custom field opens can open in a new or modal window and . 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 must click clicks a button . But there is a way to launch the modal window and see the information entered. You can however, display the information entered into a '''Special - XML Data''' custom this field on your object, such as a grant application, without requiring the user to click a button and launch the modal window. To do this we use Use the '''Read Only – System Display - Text and Variables''' custom fieldto display the content of the Advanced Data Table on the object. The same syntax can be used elsewhere in the system (e.g. include Display Only - Web Page View, Special MS Word Merge, visibility conditions, etc.) when referencing the xml this field's values.
# Go to the desired location where you want to create the custom field.
# Click the '''New Field''' (+) button in the action bar.
# For '''Field Type''' select '''Read Only – System 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 XML).
