Altova MobileTogether Designer

The Edit Sales table, like the Edit Offices Table, has been created on a separate top page. When the solution runs, this page is accessed from the main page (screenshot below left). Clicking the button Edit Sales Table loads the Edit Sales table (screenshot below right). The Sales table has multiple rows, each of which has a non-editable (sales item) ID column, editable Office, Month, Year, and Licenses columns, and a Delete control (see screenshot below right). Additionally, there is an Append Row control below the last row, a Submit button in the Edit Sales Table bar, and a Back button to go back to the previous page (the main page in this case).

In the design, the Edit buttons (first screenshot below) have both been assigned the Go to Page action on their respective OnButtonClicked events (right-click the button and select Control Actions for OnButtonClicked). These Go to Page actions (second screenshot below) load the respective target pages.

Creating the editable Sales table

The Sales table in the DB has the structure displayed in the data tree of $DB2 (screenshot below). Since the @id attribute is the primary key, it cannot be changed. This means that when a new record is appended, the end user cannot enter an @id value via the solution. The @id value must be generated automatically using an XQuery expression. The XQuery expression is inserted by using the context menu command, Ensure Exists before Page Load (XPath Value):

 

let $all := $DB2/DB/RowSet/Row/@id

let $ids := remove($all, index-of($all, ""))

let $id := if (empty($ids)) then 1 else max($ids) + 1

return $id
