Create Sibling Reference

You can create a sibling reference to create a relationship from one record in a subject area to a child record within that subject area. For example, a customer could include both the address and the phone number child records, with the phone number having a foreign key to associate it with a specific address.

You must configure the IDD configuration file (

IDDConfig.xml

) to create the sibling reference.

The following code snippet creates a sibling reference for the column

ADDRESS_ID

field in

PERSON DETAILS

child subject area.

<ns10:column
          columnUid="C_PERSON_DETAILS|ADDRESS_ID"
          editStyle="FIELD" editable="true"
          hidden="false" horizontalStyle="MEDIUM"
          lineBreak="false"
          ns10:showInHMCompactView="false" required="false">
       <siblingReference childName="Addresses">
          <label existsFormat=" {1}, {2} "
                    existsNoAttributesFormat="MailingAddress"
                    newFormat="New MailingAddress" taskFormat=" {1}, {2} ">
                         <column columnUid="C_ADDRESS|ADDRESS_LINE_1"/>
                         <column columnUid="C_ADDRESS|CITY_NAME"/>
          </label>
        </siblingReference>
</ns10:column>

You must specify the

ChildName

attribute in the

siblingReference

tag with the available child subject area reference name.
