Overview<\/h2>\n

Note: For this component to work with a dataset, paging must be enabled<\/a> on the dataset.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Paging Control allows page designers to split up large amounts of tabular data into smaller chunks, or pages, to make it easier to display many rows of data in a small space. This allows\u00a0the user to move through those pages to view the data in a table.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The following screenshot shows a Paging Control being configured:<\/p>\n

\"Paging<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Page Number<\/strong>:<\/td>\nThe number that is published when the user clicks through the page control. This is effectively the page of data that the user is viewing. This variable\u00a0is a parameter of the paging-enabled dataset.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Page Size<\/strong>:<\/td>\nThe\u00a0number of rows of data to display in the table.\u00a0This variable\u00a0is a parameter of the paging-enabled dataset.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Total Record Count<\/strong>:<\/td>\nThe total number of records in the dataset, rounded up. This is an attribute of the paging-enabled dataset.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Style<\/strong>:<\/td>\nThe style you want to apply to the Paging Control component. If you are a Style Administrator, you can add a new Paging Control style.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

About Paged Datasets<\/h2>\n

The Paging Control will only work on datasets that have been enabled for paging. This is done by modifying the dataset query in IFS OI Server. When a dataset is paging enabled, the configuration panel for a Data Table will display additional parameters. These are:<\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Total Row\u00a0Count<\/strong>:<\/td>\nThe total number of records in the dataset, rounded up. This is always a variable (totalRowCount) that is published by the paging-enabled dataset.\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Enable Server Paging<\/strong>:<\/td>\nSelect this check box to indicate that you want to take advantage of dataset paging.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Page Number<\/strong>:<\/td>\nThe page number to display when the display is first opened.\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Page Size<\/strong>:<\/td>\nThe\u00a0number of rows of data to display in the table.\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
SortBy<\/strong>:<\/td>\n\n

The\u00a0name of the column in the dataset by which to sort the table. Columns containing text will sort alphabetically, those containing numbers will sort numerically, and those containing dates will sort chronologically. You can also specify whether you want to sort the column in ascending or descending order. Here are some examples:<\/p>\n
