Properties

DebugLogMode (from version 4.1)

Indicates the level of detail of debug information that is logged when running a Futurama application (website, webservice, console application) to the trace, a logfile, a database etc. The possible values are:

• None: no debug information is logged
• Simple: only basic information is given
• Extended: in addition to the information in the Simple mode the values of all the properties of the object are shown

IsPublic

Possible values are 'True' or 'False'. If the value is 'False', then the object can only be used within the document where it is created. If the value is 'True', then also from other Futurama documents can be referred to this object. This means that changes in the object also affect the document in which is referred to this object. If the value is 'True' and you attempt to move or delete the object, a warning will be given. To limit these warnings to a minimum it is recommended to set IsPublic to 'True' only when necessary.

ReturnsTable (until version 5.0)

This is an automatic property. It is 'True' if the property SingeRow of the DatabaseView that contains the DatabaseField is set to 'False'. ReturnsTable is 'False' if the property SingeRow of the DatabaseView that contains the DatabaseField is set to 'True'. From version 5.1.0 the ReturnsTable property is replaced by the Rank property (see property below).

Rank (from version 5.1)

The Rank property is an automatic property indicating the rank of the Calculation Object. Rank=0 implies a scalar. Rank=1 a vector and Rank=2 a matrix. For the DatabaseField only the values Rank=0 and Rank=1 are applicable. If the property 'SingleRow' of the DatabaseView is 'True', the Rank=0, otherwise Rank=1.  

XmlName

The name of the object as it is shown in the source of the website. By default the XmlName is equal to the name given in the property (Name) with spaces replaced by underscores, but you are free to change it.

(Name)

The name of the object.

Comment
