    <p>Let's say you wanted to select the <code>value</code> element that is a child of the <code>attribute</code> whose name is "Employee Name".</p> <p>The XPath expression for that is the following:</p> <pre><code>/attributes/attribute[@name="Employee Name"]/value </code></pre> <p>In XSL you can use it like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;xsl:value-of select="/attributes/attribute[@name='Employee Name']/value"/&gt; </code></pre> <p>It's built up the following way. First you want to select a <code>value</code> attribute, whose parent is an <code>attribute</code> element, whose parent is the root (I'm assuming) <code>attributes</code>. The <code>/</code> operator indicates the parent-child relationship between elements. So an expression to select <em>all</em> <code>value</code> elements would be the following:</p> <pre><code>/attributes/attribute/value </code></pre> <p>With that as a base, you want to filter the result by some other attribute. In this case, you want to filter by the <code>name</code> attribute of the <code>attribute</code> element (your choice of names might make things hard to follow). Filtering is done with <code>[]</code> clauses on the elements you want to filter by. In your case that's the <code>attribute</code> element:</p> <pre><code>/attributes/attribute[]/value </code></pre> <p>Now you need to put something in the filter. The <code>@</code> symbol indicates attributes of the element you're filtering by, followed by the name of the attribute you want. Then you compare the attribute to some known value, to arrive at the above expression:</p> <pre><code>/attributes/attribute[@name='filter']/value </code></pre>

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.
