Rather than create a window that displays data in a tabular format, you can also display data as a graph along a route (provided the underlying table in the database contains location information).
Follow the steps below:
- Open the Tables window.
- Locate the table for which you will create a window, right-click the record showing that table, and select Make Window. The application displays a new window. The default selection in the new window is to create a data window, not a graph window.
- For the first option (Main), click the down arrow to display the list of types of windows and select Graph Along the Route Window entry.
- Click Next. The application displays a second new window.
- In the second dialog box, verify or modify the window title.
- If the data in the window may be modified, click the Editable? check box to select it.
- In the lower part of the dialog box, expand the menu hierarchy to locate the parent menu item under which the menu item to display the window will be placed.
- Right-click the parent menu item and select Add Branch. The application displays a new dialog box so you can enter the name of the menu item.
- In the dialog box, in the New Menu ID field enter the internal ID for the menu item that will open the window. (This ID should be lower case and not contain spaces.) Also, in the New Menu Name field, enter the name of the menu item that will open the window.
- Click OK to close the dialog box. A new node is added subordinate to the parent menu item.
- Right-click the new node and select Select This. The system places a check mark in the square beside the menu name to denote that it is selected.
- Click OK to make the window.
