Bound Mode: Cell Types |
|
Create the appropriate cell type When
bound to a database, Spread can automatically configure the appropriate cell
type depending on the data it reads. For example, if the field is a date field,
Spread creates a corresponding column of date cells in the spreadsheet.
This feature can also be enhanced. For example, let's say the database
contains information that you do not want edited by the user, but still needs to
be displayed. Spread makes this easy by allowing you to overwrite the default
behavior and change any cell type. You can make the cells that you do not want
to be changed static text cells, thus preventing any editing.
And of
course, all this default behavior can be modified and enhanced to suit your
business needs. Many of the features listed above are explained in more detail
in the
Updating/Exporting Data section.
 Spread automatically assigns a date cell for date values in
a database, as well as assigning the appropriate cell types for the additional
fields. |
