Overview
The query editor automatically creates a technical documentation for each query. This technical documentation contains:
  • the graphical representation of the query.
  • the general information about the query (logical name and physical name of the query, type of query, analysis associated with the query, ...).
  • the information specific to the query results (result items, query parameters, sort criteria, ...).
  • the information about the query characteristics (selection conditions, groups, ...).
  • the SQL code corresponding to the query.
This technical documentation can be configured. It can contain:
  • the full information about the query.
  • a selection of information.
How to?

Editing the technical documentation of current query in the editor

To edit the technical documentation of current query in the editor:
  1. On the "Home" tab, in the "General" group, expand and select "Print".
  2. Specify the information contained in this technical documentation.
  3. Choose how the technical documentation will be generated.
  4. Indicate whether this technical documentation should contain:
    • PC Soft vocabulary, used by default.
    • "generic" vocabulary (for example, the term "data file" will be replaced by "Table", "Item" by "Column", etc.
Remark: The print of the query representation can be configured according to:
  • print areas.
  • a specific layout. To define this layout, expand and select "Documentation layout".

Specifying the print areas of graphic representation

To specify the print areas of graphic representation:
  1. On the "Display" tab, in the "Help for edit" group, check "Print areas". A series of borders that represent the printable areas in the technical documentation will appear in the query editor.
  2. Reduce the display of graphic representation: on the "Display" tab, in the "Help for edit" group, modify the "Zoom" value (or use Ctrl + Mouse wheel) to see the entire query.
  3. With the mouse:
    • move these borders to the desired location by keeping the mouse button down (the mouse cursor is black).
    • choose the number of pages on which the graphic representation must be printed (the mouse cursor turns into a North-West/South-East double arrow).
Minimum version required
