Title and Tooltip for Database Columns

Prev Top Next More

Title and tooltip can be displayed for each field description in the attribute form. A title or tooltip entry can be used for several tables in different form masks.

It is however also possible to have different displays per utility for the same columns.

Database columns title

Syntax VertiGIS models

Field_{domain_}<field_>Title{_Text}

 

Part of the name

Values

Field

Fixed text. This makes it clear that a field from the form mask is affected by the definition.

domain

Optional. Name of the domain (WAT, GAS, ELE, SEW, DHC, CCP, structure). Must only be used if the display per domain or even just for one domain should be different.

Upper/lower case: the domain name is written as it is defined in the database. 

For VG networks, the domain name is written in upper case and abbreviated except for the structure, where we cannot use the short form due to Esri’s technical requirements.

field

Name of the database column. The column name is always specified in lower case in the configuration attribute mask because writing in upper and lower case varies according to database type. 

Title

Fixed text

Text

Optional. Keyword for the purpose or number to ensure the rule name is not ambiguous

 

Examples:

"Field_objectid_Title": "Object ID",

"Field_assetgroup_Title": "Asset-Gruppe",

 "Field_insidecoating_Title" : "Innenbeschichtung",

"Field_wat_distributionpressurezone_Title": "Wasser Verteilnetz",

"Field_gas_distributionpressurezone_Title"": "Gas Verteilnetz",

"Field_fromdeviceterminal_Title_Regulation": "Von Anschlusspunkt (Druckreduzierventil)",

"Field_todeviceterminal_Title_Regulation": "Nach Anschlusspunkt (Druckreduzierventil)",

"Field_fromdeviceterminal_Title_Compression": "Von Anschlusspunkt (Kompressor)",

"Field_todeviceterminal_Title_Compression": "Nach Anschlusspunkt (Kompressor)",

 

For fields that are computed using an expression, the fixed text expression is also used in the name:

Field_Expression_{domain_}<field_>Title{_Text}

 

Part of the name

Values

Field

Fixed text. 

This makes it clear that a field from the form mask is affected by the definition.

Expression

Fixed text.

This makes it clear that the value displayed is computed using an expression.

domain

Optional. Name of the domain (WAT, GAS, ELE, SEW, DHC, CCP, structure). Must only be used if the display per domain or even just for one domain should be different.

Upper/lower case: the domain name is written as it is defined in the database. 

For VG networks, the domain name is written in upper case and abbreviated except for the structure, where we cannot use the short form due to Esri’s technical requirements.

field

Name of the field in the attribute form (the field does not have to exist in the database).

Title

Fixed text

Text

Optional. Keyword for the purpose or number to ensure the rule name is not ambiguous

 

Examples

"Field_Expression_ShapeArea_Title" : "Area [m²]",

"Field_Expression_ShapeLength_Title" : "Length 2D / 3D [m]",

"Field_Expression_ShapeXYCoordinate_Title" : "Coordinates",

 

Database columns tooltip

Syntax VertiGIS models - tooltip:

Field_{domain_}<column_>Tooltip{_Text}

 

Part of the name

Values

Field

Fixed text

domain

Optional. Name of the domain (wat, gas, ele, sew, dhc, ccp, structure). Must only be used if the display per domain or even just for one domain should be different

column

Name of the database column

Tooltip

Fixed text

Text

Optional. Keyword for the purpose or number to ensure the rule name is not ambiguous

 

Examples:

"Field_staticpressure_Tooltip": "Static pressure in bar. Calculation from delta H and starting pressure of the subnetwork (approximation)",

"Field_storagecapacity_Tooltip": "Storage capacity total in m³ (different chambers must be recorded in the structure)",

"Field_wat_consumption_Tooltip": "Consumption / unit of time (m³/year)",

"Field_ele_consumption_Tooltip": "Consumption / time unit (kWh/A)",

 

For fields that are computed using an expression, the expression fixed text is also used in the name:

Field_Expression_{domain_}<field_>Tooltip{_Text}

 

Part of the name

Values

Field

Fixed text. 

This makes it clear that a field from the form mask is affected by the definition.

Expression

Fixed text.

This makes it clear that the value displayed is computed using an expression.

domain

Optional. Name of the domain (WAT, GAS, ELE, SEW, DHC, CCP, structure). Must only be used if the display per domain or even just for one domain should be different.

Upper/lower case: the domain name is written as it is defined in the database. 

For networks, the domain name is written in upper case and abbreviated except for the structure, where we cannot use the short form due to Esri’s technical requirements.

field

Name of the field in the attribute form (the field does not have to exist in the database).

Tootip

Fixed text

Text

Optional. Keyword for the purpose or number to ensure the rule name is not ambiguous

Examples

"Field_Expression_ShapeArea_Tooltip" : "Fläche in [m²]",

"Field_Expression_ShapeLength_Tooltip" : "Geometrische Länge 2D / 3D [m]",

"Field_Expression_ShapeXYCoordinate_Tooltip" : "Koordinaten (x,y)"
