Is there a way to browse records in the server?

Hi,

 

Is there a way to display records or atleast a sample of records in the server view? 

 

For example, I have a chained app, with multiple "pages" , each with a "next" at the bottom of the server view.

 

Is it possible to view records after each next in a server?

Hi @wonka1234 ,

 

You could try creating a .yxdb file with you sample values. using Name and Value as two fields and feed into a drop-down interface tool that can display the data.  Then don't have the data or selection do anything in the chained app.

 

If this doesn't make sense, let me know & I can create a small example.

@Cliff  a sample would be useful. this could be what im looking for. Almost like a preview of the data.

Hi @wonka1234 ,

 

Hers's my thought:

Create a dropdown yxdb from first 5 rows of data

 Chained App, uses yxdb as input for dropdowns

Hi @wonka1234 ,  on the server just make sure to place the yxdb files on a share that the server can see (for me it's a NAS share) rather than the ".\"

 

Here is the sample on server:
