Your datasources may be created on:- Data from Table (Read from/Write to)- Data from Query (Read only)- Data from Action (na)- Data from Remote XML Source (Read only) Example: an RSS feed- Manage Chat sessions (Read from/Write to)

Datasource - a short (semi-understandable) definition is: a floating layer of data that mimics the data of a source. It allows for greater security against sql injection - and other attacks + it allows users to work with it - without constantly going to and from the server. As a result, speed and responsiveness are enhanced. It is an essential component of the Younicycle system.

A list becomes available, depending on your selection in # 1

Limit records to a quantity. Useful when testing 'personalized' pdf output.

Put it where you want it.

Click the Create button and you're done. Seems simple, but much happens in the background. Your list will be available by clicking the WORD 'Datasource' on the (Y-Tree). You can View your DS and it will appear identical to the output from the Source Table, Query, etc.
Your DS can now be used in conjunction with the GYRE for the Web - or Templates - or Applications - or Charts.
In short - you can create personalized content. Easily.

The functionality, current mode (single record or linear), navigation bar, displayed fields, tab order and appearance of this form are controlled by the GYRE. Contact your Administrator if you do not have GYRE privileges or require assistance.

To Edit a Record:

A selected record will have a Grey background.
Place your cursor into a datafield and type.
Use Tab (keyboard) to move to the next datafield.
Press Enter (keyboard) to commit your data. Your background will flicker Green.

To Create (or Delete) a Record:

If your GYRE has been enabled for the Toolbar, you will be able to Create New - or Delete existing records. An 'empty' (no values), temporary record will be at the bottom of your page when your page loads. This 'empty record' is only in your browser - and is not in your target Table. Note - you may need to scroll down for this record to be visible in your browser.
An Empty record will show (examples) 8 of 7 ... 49 of 48, etc in the Toolbar.
Type into your datafields in the EMPTY record, using Tab to move your cursor to the next field. When you are done - hit Enter on your keyboard. This record will flicker Green - and your new record will be committed to your Table.
After you hit Enter - a new 'Empty record' will appear at the bottom of your Browser. Continue the process described above until you are finished.

Note: If you require additional assistance or navigation tools, contact your Administrator.
