Editing DataPlayer Details Windows

Setting single and multiple details window display options

There are several options for configuring the display of the Details display windows that underlie each DataPlayer. Details display windows are not the same as Details View DataPlayers. Every DataPlayer view type includes a subsidiary Details window that responds to user clicks on the Details button.

Link must already be defined using Main Toolbar: Settings > Links > Add web link Edit individual details options - all settings controlling the display of details for individual records (rows) Multiple - refers to details for selected subsets of records (rows) Show multiple records in a table -multiple record details in an expandable table. (similar to DataPlayer Table View) Show multiple records with forward/back options - multiple record details in a single window with forward/back paging through records Edit multiple details table options - all settings controlling the display of multiple records according to the choice of either single window or expandable table display.
