The Data tab is only visible in the Properties view when there is a query added to the element. In the All properties tab, these properties are located at the top-level and in the Data sections.
Type | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
Data Source | String | The data source schema name. You cannot edit this property. Example: Generic XML 1 |
Context | String | If the query is on an element nested within another element, the context of the parent element is listed for this property. You cannot edit this property. Example: $7 is the context for the parent element. |
Query | String | The name of the query as specified in the data source schema. |

Limit | String | Default value: 0 Enter a number to generate only a certain number of data values in your output. |
Filter | String | The Rational Publishing Engine or native filter applied to the element. |
Recursive Level | Number | Default value: 0 Instead of adding a query and each of its child queries in your template to extract a set of data, you can use the Recursive Level and Recursive Segments. Use these properties together to specify only the parent query in your template and extract data from that query and all of its child queries. The Recursive Level is the number of times the recursive segments in the query are repeated. Example: In the query Module/Object/Link/Linked Object, if you entered 2 for the recursive segment value and 3 for the recursive level value, Link/Linked Object would repeated 3 times. The resulting query is Module/Object/Link/Linked Object/Link/Linked Object/Link/Linked Object. |
Recursive Segments | Number | Default value: 1 Instead of adding a query and each of its child queries in your template to extract a set of data, you can use the Recursive Level and Recursive Segments. Use these properties together to specify only the parent query in your template and extract data from that query and all of its child queries. The number of segments in the query that are to be repeated. Example: In the query Module/Object/Link/Linked Object, if you entered 2 for the recursive segment value, Link/Linked Object are the segments that are repeated. |
