Groups class
Contents
Description
Groups defines how displayed data can be grouped in results that reference the base query, or - in other words - which options appear in the Grouping list on the commands zone on a navigator or on a content tab.
It is an optional section, and it is not present in all base queries.
In Ted4_Config.XML, Fred4_Config.xml, EdAdmin4_Config.XML, <Groups appears in the root of <BaseQuery.
<Groups Name="Folder">
<PropertyGroupDescription PropertyName="[article.folderRef:DescName]"/>
</Groups>
<Groups Name="Editor">
<PropertyGroupDescription PropertyName="[article.modifierRef.name]"/>
</Groups>
Members
| Name | name on the grouping. It has to be unique at the level of the base query. |
PropertyGroupDescription members
| PropertyName | full path to the attribute, e.g. PropertyName="[article.modifierRef.name]". |
Important
Grouping works only if the value of the PropertyName exists also as a displayed field - e.g. in any ColStyle of that directory style.
A typical problem may be that a ColStyle displays article.modifierRef.fullName, while PropertyName uses article.modifierRef.name: then, the grouping won't work.
