NamingFormat element

Defines the structure of the display key.

Type

string

Parent

ArrayOptions

Remarks

The first character in the NamingFormat tag is the separator used between the different components. In the example below, a comma is used to separate the components. A component is either a parameter ID or static text.

It is not necessary to put static text in between the separators. You can just sum up a number of parameter IDs to be replaced by their values:

<NamingFormat>,1512,1514,1516</NamingFormat>

If you want to use characters like “<”, “>” and “&” in the naming format, enclose the format in a CDATA block.

Note

If you use this NamingFormat tag, it will override any naming rules specified in the options attribute of the ArrayOptions tag (options=”;naming=/1512,1514”). Using the NamingFormat tag is preferred over the use of the naming option.

Feature introduced in DataMiner 8.0.5 (RN 6343)

Examples

The following example:

<NamingFormat>,string ,1512, discreet ,1514</NamingFormat>

produces a display key with the following format:

string [valueOfParameter1512ForThisRow] discreet [valueOfParameter1514ForThisRow]
