Action Column Properties

The Action Column Properties dialog box allows you to add or edit additional columns in a Datasheet Element that display hyperlinks to a ColdFusion module. Open this dialog from the Datasheet View Columns dialog box by clicking Add Action Column or by selecting an existing action column from within the Datasheet View Column dialog box and clicking the Edit icon.

The available settings are:

• Header / Column Name - Enter the text that will appear in the column header row. Check the Hide Header box to exclude the header text even if you have entered text.
• Column Text - Enter the hyperlinked text that will appear in each row of the datasheet.
• Window Target Name - If the module will open in a new browser window, enter this window’s name.
• Action Modules - If Choose an existing module is selected, CommonSpot lists all .cfm files located in the datasheet-modules subdirectory of the root subsite. Alternatively, you may enter a logical path to a module somewhere else in the site in the Specify an explicit module field when that option is selected.

Click Save to save your settings for this column and return to the Datasheet View Columns dialog.

Note: You can only use the default edit (edit-form-data.cfm) and delete (delete-form-data.cfm) modules on a datasheet that displays data from a Global Custom Element or a Simple Form Element.
