The following figure shows how a data entry radio button widget
appears on a transformation, using the data from the Input field with hints component example as input:
Figure 1. Data
entry radio button widget example
Caption (from component)
Number of columns per row (1)
Fill (from hints)
The following settings can be configured for this widget:
Fill from global variable
If selected, populate the set of radio buttons from the specified
global variables.
Global variable containing list values
Specifies the name of the indexed global variable containing
the set of values. A radio button for each index in the global variable
will be created.
Shared
ZIETrans local and shared global variables can have the same
name. Select this box if you want to use the shared global variable
to populate the list items. When this box is cleared, the local global
variable is used.
Global variable containing list captions
Optional. Specifies the name of the indexed global variable
containing the set of captions. The size of the global variable specified
by this value should be greater than or equal to the size specified
in the preceding setting. The indexes in this indexed global variable
should also match up with the indexes in the values global variable
(so that the actual value and caption shown to the user are in sync).
If this value is not specified, the caption for each radio button
will be its value.
Fill from string
If selected, populate the set of radio buttons from the specified
string.
List items
Optional. Specifies the string of items to include in the set
of radio buttons. Items should be separated with a semicolon (;). To have the
list item caption be different than the list item value, enter
both separated by an equal sign (=). For example, a value of Apple=A;Grape=Grenders radio
buttons for two items: Apple and Grape. Selecting the first
item causes an A to be inserted in the associated host screen input
field.
If you want both the item in the radio button set and the
value inserted in the host screen to be the same, you only need to
enter the item. For example, Apple=A;G.
In this example, a G appears
next to the radio button and in the host screen input field.
Fill from hints
If selected, populate the set of radio buttons from hints recognized
by the component (only applicable when the Input Field with Hints
component is used).
Caption source
Specifies how the caption for the generated set of radio buttons
is determined. Options: From
component (use the extracted caption from the component) or Custom (use the specified
caption).
Custom caption
Optional. Specifies the caption for the set.
Note: Leave this setting blank to not generate a caption for the
set.
Trim spaces on caption
If selected, white space (extra space) is trimmed from both
ends of the caption.
