Update Control Table Data

A control table is used to store data to be used as the basis when dspConduct™ builds a Data Control View (DCV) or a Page Control View (PCV).

Once a Designer has created the control table for a particular scenario > role > task combination that table is used for all roles and scenarios that have the same task. That table is created and stored in the Content WebApp’s database.

If column configuration is updated on the Scenario Role Task Column page after the objects have been created, a Designer can update the data used by the control views. In this case, the tables and views remain as they are and the data in the table for this one particular scenario and role are updated.

Refer to Create Tables and Views for Content WebApp Pages Overview for general information.

To update data in a control table:

  1. Click dspConduct > Design in the Navigation pane.

  2. Click the Scenarios icon for a category.

  3. Click the Roles icon for a scenario.

  4. Click the Tasks icon for a role.

  5. Click the Pages icon for a scenario > role > task combination.

  6. Select one or more page records, and then click the Update Control Data icon in the Page toolbar.

    NOTE: If columns are added to or removed from the content page, the column list must be refreshed to capture the column additions or subtractions. The control table must then be rebuilt with the new set of columns.
