    <p>I'm not quite sure what you really mean by an "alphabetical pager", but I assume you might be looking for some kind of alphabetical navigator like we have it in the personal NAB inside the Notes client, right?</p> <p>If so you're not really looking for a pager but for an alphabetical view filter. Here's one way to get there:</p> <ul> <li>create a panel, give it a distinctive ID like "viewContainer" or something. Put your view panel into the panel; of course the view's main sorting order must be alphabetical</li> <li>create a 2nd panel above "viewContainer", no ID necessary here</li> <li><p>put a repeat inside this new panel and bind it to a new JavaScript array, like that:</p> <p>new Array("a", "b", "c", ... , "x", "y", "z");</p></li> <li><p>enter a collection name for the repeat, like "letter"</p></li> <li>put a link control inside the repeat. The link's label will be computed to the repeat's collection name, i.e. "letter".</li> <li><p>assign an onclick event to the link setting a sessionScope variable to the current collection name's value, like that:</p> <p>sessionScope.filter = letter;</p></li> <li><p>set the event's refresh mode to partial so that it refreshes your viewContainer panel</p></li> <li><p>highlight your view control inside the viewContainer. In its data properties look for the property field labelled "Filter by column value" and make it computed. Enter this code:</p> <p>sessionScope.filter;</p></li> </ul> <p>That's it.</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> of course you can build the repeat's datasource array dynamically from the view itself. So, instead of building that static a-to-z array you could also use something like this:</p> <pre><code>@Unique(@Left(@DbColumn(@DbName(), "yourLookupView", viewColNumber), 1)); </code></pre> <p>That should return an array only containing those letters that really are in your view.</p> <p>Also you could another static link control outside the repeat resetting the filter to show all entries. It would be built like the repeated link with the onclick event calling this code:</p> <pre><code>sessionScope.filter=null; </code></pre> <p>Enjoy!</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
