It is possible to add custom JavaScript and CSS code to a datalynx activity.

== JavaScript ==
You can add custom JavaScript in "Manage -> JavaScript". If you use JavaScript, make sure to choose appropriate selectors and classes, in order to only target the specific view where the JS should be used. Also make sure to make a difference between editing mode and view mode of a view. In the following example, the edit view is detected via the presence of an input-tag, that is not present in view mode.
<code javascript>

YUI().use('node', 'event', function(Y) {
if(Y.one('.class_only_present_in_a_view') && Y.one('.sws input')){
function werteberechnen(){
var einzel = Y.all('.summeects');
}
}
});

Datalynx Filter, Search and Sort

{{Datalynx}}
This document describes the search and sort options for the datalynx activity.

== Filter search and sort options ==
There are 3 possibilities for searching, filtering and sorting.
# The first one is to apply a "filter" to a view in the view settings. The search/sort criteria are then forced for a view and can not be changed by a user who calls the view (Except quick search option).
# The other possibility is to create a "filter" in "Manage -> Filters", but you do not apply the filter in the view settings, but instead append the filter via the URL.
# The third possibility is to use tags. Currently the tags ##advancedfilter## and #quicksearch## provide an interface for the user, where the search criteria/search keywords can be chosen be the user him/herself.

== What is a "view filter" ==
A filter can created via "Manage -filters". For each filter you can define search and sort options, that are then saved as a filter. A filter can be attached to a view in the view settings. A filter can also be applied to a view by providing the filter id in the url. A typical link with a filter would look like that: www.example.com/mod/datalynx/view.php?d=1&view=1&filter=3 . Calling a view with a filter displays only entries that match the search criteria defined in the filter settings. You can also let users apply custom search and sort option. In order to provide search options for users, tags are used. For more information on tags have a look at [[Datalynx Datalynx Tags|Datalynx Tags]]

In the settings of each view it is possible to select a filter, if there are filters defined at "Manage -> Filters". Choosing a filter in the view setting "filter", changes the view in the following way:
* Only entries, that match the search criteria will be displayed (if present in the filter, they can also stay undefined)
* The entries will be sorted according to the sort criteria (if present)
* The number of entries shown per page will be defined by the filter (default for a view without filter is 50 entries per page)

When applying a filter to a view via the view settings it is currently the "advanced filter", is not visible for users.

== Create a filter ==
In the datalynx activity go to "Manage -> Filters". This opens the list of all created filters. If there is no filter created yet, only the link "Add a filter" is shown. Click on the link to create a new filter. To edit an existing filter click on the "edit icon" in the filter you want to edit.

[[Image:datalynx-manage-filters.png|none|width:600px|Datalynx Manage filters]]

== Filter settings ==
The filter settings are split in 4 different categories.
=== General ===
*Name: A name for the filter. A good practice for choosing names is to describe what the filter does. Example: Single view (for displaying one entry per page) or "Approved entries" for all approved entries.
*Description: Optional, provide additional info what the filter does
*Visible: If set to yes, the filter will be shown if the view tag ##filtersmenue## is used. This tag is a placeholder for a dropdown menu, typically shown in the header of a view, to allow users to choose a filter.

=== Filter ===
*Per page: Select the number of max. entries shown per page.
*Selection
**Per page: Entries will be shown as defined in the sort options
**Random: Random will be reshuffled on each refresh/reload of the page in the browser.
*Group by: Entries can be grouped. Example: Each users enters information abour his/her car. Number of doors, manual/automatic and car brand. You can then select to group the entries by brand. Then all cars of the brand "VW" will be listed together, and all the cars of the brand "Chrysler" and so on.
*Search: Enter a search keyword, that must be present in an entry in order to be displayed.
=== Sort options ===
*Sort field 1: Select a field from the dropdown list, that is used for sorting the entries. Example: You have a list of courses with description, start date, duration and title as fields. Then you can select either the title or the start date, etc. for sorting the entries.
*Sort field 2: If two entries of the above sort criteria have the same value, then you can define here, which of these entries will be shown first.
*Sort field 3: See previous point.
=== Search options ===
You can define very complex search criteria in the section. Note, that not all possibilities available make sense (this will be improved in the coming versions of datalynx).

'''AND/OR:''' For each search field, you can choose between AND/OR: Choose AND if the two conditions should be met. Example: AND brand = VW AND color = RED. Note that you can create filters, that won't return any entry, for example if you define. AND brand = VW and brand = Chrysler: No car in the world is branded as VW AND Chrysler. But if you want that either one or the other condition should be met, then select: OR brand = VW, OR brand = Chrysler. That will show all entries, that have Chrysler or VW as brand name.

'''RELOAD button at the bottom:''' After selecting a value from the dropdown list after AND/OR (the dropdown show a list of available search options), you have to press the RELOAD button, in order to load the available search criteria for the selected option. The following image shows an example for creating a search criteria for search option one, choosing the time the entry was created as a criteria:
[[Image:datalynx-manage-filter-searchoptions.png|none|width:600px|Datalynx timecreated search option]]

*Search field 1: How to create an option: First choose AND/OR, then choose a search option from the dropdown, then click on the button "RELOAD", then choose from the loaded comparison possibilities.
*Search field 2: Same as above
*Search field 3: Same as above

=== Search options example: Display all entries of the current user ===
We want to display all the entries, of the user, who is currently viewing the datalynx activity. In order to achieve that, select the following search criteria:
[[Image:datalynx-manage-filters-example.png|none|width:600px|Datalynx filter current user]]

== Apply a filter to a view ==
You can either apply a filter in "Manage -> Views" via selecting from the views list the filter from the dropdown, or you edit the settings of a view and choose the filter in the option "filter". Another possibility is to let the user choose a filter by adding the tag ##filtersmenu## to the view setting "view template". For more information about views and settings have a look at [[Datalynx View settings|General view settings]]. For more information how to use datalynx tags have a look at [[Datalynx Tags|Datalynx Tags]]

== Provide search forms for users ==
There are two tags, that can be put in the "View template" section of each view setting.
# ##quicksearch## This tag provides an input field, where you can type a keyword. All matching entries will then be shown.
# ##advancedfilter## Provides a form where the user can define search criteria for each field, or entry property. For example the user can filter all entries, that are written by a specific user. The user can also combine different search option. The advanced search provides very precise search options.

Datalynx Fields

2014-06-10T21:56:57Z

Dasistwas:

{{Datalynx}}
Datalynx fields are used to collect and display predefined data elements such as text, dates or numbers in an entry. You can choose between a huge amount of fields. Field administration can be accessed via the tab "Manage -> Fields".
== General field settings ==
These settings are available for all field types. For the settings of a specific field type have a look at the documentation of the specific field type.
=== Name ===
Name of the field. Will be used for creating the tag, that will be placed in a view. Example: Name = Car brands, the tag to place in view will be [[Car brands]]. Make the field name as short and simple as possible.
=== Description===
Optional description of the field. Is not really used except in the fields overview in the "Manage" area.
=== Visible to ===
* Everyone: Use this, if you want, that every course member (role with capability to access a view) can see the field. Example: Photo for a photo activity, that should be reviewed by other course members
* Owners and managers: Use this, if you want to hide critical or personal informaation to be seen by other people than managers or the person who created the entry (= owner). Example: Hiding bank account numbers or other sensitive personal info.
* Managers only: Use this to hide comments from the owner, such as evaluation comments, that should only be seen by other managers.
=== Editable ===
*Yes: Owner and managers can edit
*No: Only manager can edit the value (Example: Used for certification purposes)
===Field label ===
The field label allows for specifying a designated field label that can be added to the view by means of the <nowiki>[[fieldname@]]</nowiki> field pattern. This field pattern observes the field visibility and is hidden if the field is set to be hidden. The field label can also serve as a field display template and it interprets patterns of that field if included in the label. For example, with a number field called Number and the field label defined as 'You have earned <nowiki>[[Number]]</nowiki> credits.' and an entry where the number value is 47 the pattern <nowiki>[[Number@]]</nowiki> would be displayed as 'You have earned 47 credits.'
==== Example ====
* Field name: My number
* Field label: <h1> My number is: <nowiki>[[My number]]</nowiki>. It is the best number of all! </h1>
* Tag to be used in a view: <nowiki>[[My number@]]</nowiki>

Result in a view, that displays a chosen value: The tag <nowiki>[[My number@]]</nowiki> will be replaced with the field label and the field value, if the field is visible in a view. Assume you entered the number 40, then the result would look like this (it is a heading):

<h1>My number is: 40. It is the best number of all!</h1>

Result in a view, that is used for data input (creating an entry): Same as display, but instead of the number to display, the input field, where you have to enter the number will be displayed.

==Adding a field==
To add a field select the field type from the 'Add a field' dropdown. This will open the field configuration form where you can name the field instance and configure other settings as required.
==Setting visibility==
You can set the field visibility either in the field configuration form or by clicking the field's eye icon in the Visible column. The field can be visible to everyone (default), entry-author and managers, or only managers (where managers are users with manageentries capability in the context).
==Setting editability==
You can set the field editability either in the field configuration form or by clicking the field's lock icon in the Editable column. The field can be editable by the entry-author and managers (default) or only by managers (where managers are users with manageentries capability in the context).
==Updating a field==
You can click on the field's name or the edit icon of the field to open the configuration form for updating.
==Duplicating one or more fields==
You can duplicate a field by clicking the duplicate icon of the field. This will create an exact copy of the duplicated fiel with a different name. You can then proceed to update the field settings.

You can duplicate more than one field in one go by selecting the designated fields and clicking the bulk-duplicate icon (in the list's header).
==Deleting one or more fields==
You can delete a field by clicking the delete icon of the field.
You can delete more than one field in one go by selecting the designated fields and clicking and bulk-delete icon (in the list's header).

==Available fields==
A list of fields, available for data input and display
===Checkbox===
Suitable for choosing multiple option values. (Multiselect). You can add new option values or update existing option values. Datalynx deals also with the case, if someone already did choose a certain option value, and you rename or delete this option value.
====Add options ====
One option per line

Select Entry group to include in the displayed view only entries by members of the hosting entry author's group.
==== Custom sort ====
You can add custom sort criteria that would be applied to the displayed view. Each criterion is a comma separated <nowiki>[[field name]]</nowiki>,ASC/DESC pair. One criterion per line. The pattern must be included in the selected view template. For example, assuming the patterns ##author:firstname## and <nowiki>[[Count]]</nowiki> are included in the selected view template, by the following criteria the view will display the entries sorted by the author first name in ascending order and counts in descending order: ##author:firstname##,ASC
<nowiki>[[Count]]</nowiki>,DESC
==== Custom search ====
You can add custom search criteria that would be applied to the displayed view. Each criterion is a comma separated AND/OR,remote field pattern,0/1,operator,local field pattern/value. One criterion per line. The pattern must be included in the selected view template. For example, assuming the patterns ##author:firstname## is included in the selected view template, by the following criteria the view will display only entries by the author first name: AND,##author:firstname##,0,=,##author:firstname##

{{Datalynx}}
Special settings for a CSV view. In this view the "Entry template" setting is missing, because in order to export data, no layout is necessary. Instead, the data for output is controlled by the setting "Settings"

== View template ==
This view provides tags, that are not present in other views. The tags ##export:page## and ##export:all## will create a link, that leads to the download of the CSV, XLS or ODS file. The tag ##import## is currently not supported.
== Settings ==
In this section, you can determine the output data.
===Output type===
*CSV
*Excel (XLS)
*OpenDocumentSpreadsheet (ODS)
===delimiter===
The delimiter for separating columns (table cells).
===enclosure===
You can define, if text is put in parentheses or similar signs.
===Encoding===
The default value for export is UTF-8. UTF-8 has become the dominant character encoding for the World Wide Web, accounting for more than half of all Web pages. But you can choose any other encoding as well.
===Export fields===
Typically, you export one field per line. You can also combine to fields in one line, if you want to join them in a table cell.
=== Field tags===
Choose the fields to be exported from this dropdown menu. Note, that image fields, or file-fields can not be exported to CSV.

Datalynx PDF view

2014-06-10T21:55:16Z

Dasistwas: Created page with "{{Datalynx}} Settings for a PDF view, that are only applicable for this specific view type. == Tags only available in PDF view == * ##export## Export the current page * ##e..."

{{Datalynx}}
Settings for a PDF view, that are only applicable for this specific view type.

== Tags only available in PDF view ==

* ##export## Export the current page
* ##export:all## Export all entries
* ##pagebreak## Has to be placed in the settings "View template" or "Entry template". It will create a page break in the generated PDF at its position

The export tags should only be used for administration, or similar purposes. To give access to the PDF, use the technique described in the next chapter (PDF settings)

== PDF settings ==
The settings described below are used with the tag ##export:all## or ##export:page##. Usually users should not directly access this view, but only download the PDF. To generate a download link from within an entry, this would be the pattern to use:

<code><nowiki>#{{viewlink:NameOfThePDFView;Text of the link to display;pdfexportentry=##entryid##|dest=D|docname=PDFName##author:firstname##-##author:lastname##;}}#</nowiki></code>

The above link will generate a download link with the entry id of the current entry, and the name of the author of the entry included in the filename of the PDF.

=== Document name ===
Name of the document. You should also be able to user placeholders like ##author:firstname## for the name.
=== Orientation ===
Choose landscape or portrait
=== Unit ===
*millimeter
*point
*centimeter
*inch
=== Format ===
*Letter
*A4
=== Destination ===
*Send to browser
*Download

== PDF TOC (Table of Content) ==
Automatically generate a table of content based on the entries.

=== TOC Page ===
Page number (e.g. 1). The page where the TOC should be displayed. By default (page number empty or 0) the TOC is not displayed.

Page bookmarks can be added in the repeatd entry section with tags in the format: #@bookmark-type:bookmark-level:bookmark-text@#

Bookmark type: PDF-GBM for group bookmark, PDF-BM for regular bookmark. Group bookmarks display only the first occurence in a sequence of the same bookmark-text.
Bookmark-level: 0 - n. If the html TOC template is used, it must contain a template definition for each bookmark level that is specified in the content.
Bookmark-text: The text that will be displayed for the bookmark in the TOC. Field tags can be used to extract the text from the entry content.

Example:
<code><nowiki>
#@PDF-GBM:0:##author:name##@#
#@PDF-BM:1:[[Date masked]]@#
</nowiki></code>

=== TOC Name ===
Name for the table of content
=== TOC Title ===
Html for the TOC title that is displayed above the table of content. For example, <code><h1>TABLE OF CONTENT</h1></code> will display the TOC page with the title 'TABLE OF CONTENT' styled as heading1.

=== TOC Template===
The TOC Template specifies the html for displaying the bookmarks in the table of content. The #TOC_DESCRIPTION# and #TOC_PAGE_NUMBER# must be enclosed in span tags.

For example:
<code>

<div><span style="color:#FF0000;">#TOC_DESCRIPTION#</span> ... <span>#TOC_PAGE_NUMBER#</span></div>

<div><span style="color:#00FF00;">#TOC_DESCRIPTION#</span> ... <span>#TOC_PAGE_NUMBER#</span></div>

</code>
By this simple template the pdf file will display the TOC with the first bookmark level in red and the second in green. Page numbers will be displayed separated from the bookmark descriptions by ellipsis.

== PDF Frame ==
A background image for the first page can be added here.

== PDF Watermark ==
This inserts image into the first page of the PDF. Currently it is only possible to have a watermark on the first page. Further you can define the transparency of the image.

== PDF Header ==
A header to be displayed on every page of the generated PDF.

== PDF Footer ==
A footer to display on every page.

== PDF Margins and paging ==
Margins and paging for every page of the PDF.

== PDF Protection ==
You can set what users can do with the generated PDF.

===Permissions denied===
Activate the checkboxes for each option in order to prevent the users from:
*Print the document
*Modify content
*Copy/extract content
*Fill in forms
*Extract content
*Assemble
*Print high level

=== User password ===
Set a password, that is needed in order to view the PDF.

=== Owner password ===
Set a password in order to override prevented actions set in the setting "Permission denied"

== Digital Signature ==
You can sign a PDF with a self signed certificate in order to prevent forgery and falsification of certificates.

=== Certificate ===
Provide the self signed certificate here. The certificate should be provided as .crt file. To generate a self signed certificate follow these 3 steps (linux command line):

* To create self-signed signature: openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365000 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout tcpdf.crt -out tcpdf.crt
* To export crt to p12: openssl pkcs12 -export -in tcpdf.crt -out tcpdf.p12
* To convert pfx certificate to pem: openssl pkcs12 -in tcpdf.pfx -out tcpdf.crt -nodes

Also note, that you must have installed OpenSSL extension in PHP.

=== Password ===
The password you used to create the certificate.

=== Permissions ===
Select the permission the users should have for handling the PDF file.

=== name, location, reason, contact ===
Optional fields.

Datalynx Tabular view

{{Datalynx}}
This view can be used to display data in a tabular form or to bulk edit entries. The strength of the view is, that it enables the user to edit multiple entries simultaneously and to bulk update entries with one click. Combined with filters, this view can be used to manage many entries at once.

== Entry template ==
The only setting, that differs from the general view settings is the setting "Entry template". Tabular view provides more tags for these settings.

=== Bulkd update tag ===
%%fieldname:bulkedit%% has to be placed in the header of the table and is automatically created for each field available in the datalynx activity. Note: Not all fields support bulk update. Please try before you use it.

'''How to use it'''
#Select the entries, you want to change by activating the checkbox of each entry
#Click on the bulk edit button in the header row of the table
#In the header row activate the checkbox of the column you want to bulk edit
#The value you put in the first row of the table (the first row after the table header) will be used for all other entries. All other entries will be overwritten with the value given in the first row.

Datalynx Grid view

2014-06-10T21:53:41Z

Dasistwas: Created page with "{{Datalynx}} This page describes the settings that are only applicable for a Grid view. A description of common view settings can be found at Datalynx View settings|General ..."

{{Datalynx}}
This page describes the settings that are only applicable for a Grid view. A description of common view settings can be found at [[Datalynx View settings|General view settings]]

== Grid settings ==

The grid settings are the only settings in addition to the general view settings.

=== Number of columns ===
This setting defines how man entries are displayed per row. If there is only one entry per row, then leave the default setting "Choose"

Example: Default setting, 1 entry per row
[[Image:datalynx-gridviewsetting.png|none|width:600px|Default gridsetting example]]

Example: Grid setting set to 2 = 2 entries per row
[[Image:datalynx-gridsetting2.png|none|width:600px|Grid setting 2]]

Datalynx View settings

2014-06-10T21:52:58Z

Dasistwas: Created page with "{{Datalynx}} The settings described on this page apply for every view. Each view type has additional settings, that are described in the documentation of the specific view. =..."

{{Datalynx}}
The settings described on this page apply for every view. Each view type has additional settings, that are described in the documentation of the specific view.

== View general settings ==
===Name===
The name of the view. The name will appear as title in the browser title bar and on the "view index".
===Description===
Optional. This is only used to display additional information in the "view index"
===Visible to===
Define which role can access the view. Supported roles are:
{| cellpadding="8" cellspacing="0" border="1"
! Role
! Permission
|-
|Manager
|viewprivilegemanager
|-
|Teacher
|viewprivilegeteacher
|-
|Student
|viewprivilegestudent
|-
|Guest
|viewprivilegeguest
|}

How it works: The above roles have the permission (= capability), that corresponds to their name. Students have the default permission "viewprivilegestudent", managers "viewprivilegemanager" and so on. Thsee permissions can also be applied to another role. You can add the permission "viewprivilegestudent" to a non-editing teacher. If you then enable the checkbox "student" in the setting "Visible to", the view can be accessed by all users with the role non-editing teacher. It is also possible to delete the permission from a role. If you delete the permission "viewprivilegestudent" from the role student, all users with this role won't be able to access the view even with the "student" checkbox enabled in the "Visible to" setting.

You can change permission of a datalynx activity by first accessing the activity and then follow the path in the block "Administration": "Block Administration -> Datalynx activity administration -> Permissions". This will open a list of permission. Search for "viewprivilegestudent" in order navigate quickly to this permission setting.

Note: If yo do not check any of the available options in "Visible to", then only site administrators can access the view.

===Filter===
Select a predefined filter for this view. If you do not apply any filter, then 50 entries will be displayed per page. If there are more than 50 entries, add the tag ##pagingbar## to the setting "View template". When setting a filter, it can't be modified by a user filter, that is generated with the tag ##advancedfilter## or ##quicksearch##. This will be changed in future versions.
==Redirect on submit option==
===Target view===
This setting is only important, if the view is used as "editing" view. This setting will allow to select the view, that is shown after a user created an entry and clicks on the submit button.

A view can be used to collect data. In order to define the default view for editing entries activate the checkbox in the column '''E''' in the "view index". For detailed information have a look at: [[Datalynx Views|Datalynx Views]]. Also tabular view allows editing entries without being defined as "edit view" in the "view index"

==View template==
You can create the general layout for the view in this setting. The layout of the entries is defined in the "Entry template" setting. In the "view template" setting, you can define the place, where the entry/entries should go with the tag ##entries##. This tag will be replaced in the brows mode with the actual entries of the users.
===Example===
The default settings for "View template"
[[Image:datalynx-viewtemplate-setting.png|none|width:600px|View template setting]]
will result in this view (given the user can only add one image per entry and nothing else). The example shows the view, when 2 entries were added.
[[Image:datalynx-listview.png|none|width:600px|View template setting]]
==Entry template==
This settings defines how a single entry will be displayed. If there are more than 1 entries in a view, the layout will be repeated as many times as entries exist. The setting for the above example looks like that:
[[Image:datalynx-entrysetting.png|none|width:600px|Entry template setting]]

How it works: The name of the field to display is put squared brackets: <code><nowiki>[[Shallow depth of field photo]]</nowiki></code>. You can choose this tag from the Dropdown "Field tags". Also the name of the field is displayed and the ##edit## and ##delete## tags. These tags are replaced by the icons with the according link to delete or edit the entry. In the example above in browse mode, you see how the settings are rendered in the view.

=== Adding field tags and customising the entry template ===
The next example shows following changes:
* Display the author of the entry
* Do not display the name of the field
* Display a link to access the single view, were comments and ratings can be added

Settings:
[[Image:datalynx-entrytemplate-custom.png|none|width:600px|Entry template setting]]

Result:
[[Image:datalynx-listview01.png|none|width:600px|Entry template setting]]

Datalynx Views

2014-06-10T21:52:20Z

Dasistwas:

{{Datalynx}}
Datalynx views allow to display and arrange fields, forms and entries in a lot of different ways. Views can be edited and created via the tab "Manage -> Views".

== Usage of views ==
A view can be used to:

* Display forms for data input (Edit and create an entry)
* Display all data collected (all entries) in a list view
* Display a single entry
* Export entries as PDF or CSV
== Manage -> Views ==
When going to "Manage -> Views", you will see an overview of all views already created for the datalynx instance. It will look similar to this:
[[Image:datalynx-viewindex01.png|none|width:600px| Views Index]]
=== 1: Adding a view ===
To add a view select the view type from the 'Add a view' dropdown. This will open the view configuration form where you can configure the view templates and behaviour. Typically, views have default configuration and if this default configuration serves your purpose you can simply enter a name for the view and save.
=== 2: Name of the view ===
By clicking on the name of the view, you access the view in browse mode. The name of the view can be edited with clicking on the "Edit" button (5)
=== 3: Type of the view ===
This column show the type of the view. Standard type is "grid". For displaying a view for bulk editing or in tabular form, the type "tabular" is the best choice.
=== 4: Description ===
An optional description of the view. The description is only used in "Manage -> Views" and provides additional information of the purpose of the view.
=== 5: Visibility ===
A view can be visible for certain roles only. This is conrtolled by a capability, that has the same name as the role, that has the specific capability set per default. That means the role "student" has the permission to access the view, when the "student" permission is checked. But you can also add the permission "viewprivilegestudent" (that's the name for it in "Datalynx instance -> Block Administration -> Permissions") to another role. Please note, that a teacher does not have the permission "viewprivilegestudent". So if you want, that a teacher can access the view you have to check the "viewprivilegeteacher" in the view settings. If there is not any permission checked in the view settings, then only admins can access the view. They have the permission "viewprivilegeadmin". This permission isn't assigned to any role, but as admins can do anything, they have the permission.

=== 6: DEM: '''D'''efault view, '''E'''diting view, '''M'''ore view ===

The Datalynx activity must have a default view to fall back on to when the activity is accessed without specifying the target view (for instance, when you access the activity from the activity link on the course page).
Without a default view, the activity can not be accessed by students and roles, that have not the right to edit the settings of the datalynx activity. That means: Make sure to always check the default view by clicking on the symbol in the column '''D''

You can select the default view by clicking the 'Default' box in the view list. The selected default view is marked by a check sign. You can change the default view at any time. Since the default view must be visible, if you set a hidden view to default, this view will automatically become visible and you will not be able to hide it as long as it is the default view.

=== 7: Forcing a view filter===
When filters are defined for the activity you can force a filter on a view by selecting the filter either from the index list or in the view configuration form.
When the view forces a filter, users without cannot apply other activity filters (the activity filters menu will not be displayed). This will be changed in future versions. You will be able to override or narrow view filters according tot he settings of the filter.
=== 8: Editing a view ===
Clicking on the edit symbol, will open the view settings form. There you can change all the settings of a view, except D,E,M. These options can only be applied in "Manage -> Views".
=== 9: Duplicating one or more views===
You can duplicate a view by clicking the duplicate icon of the view. This will create an exact copy of the duplicated view with a different name. You can then proceed to update the view settings. This may be particularly useful if you need to create several very similar views. For example, you can create a complex view and then duplicate it, and assign to each of the instances a different filter so as to have a designated view for certain subsets of the entries.
You can duplicate more than one view in one go by selecting the designated views and clicking the bulk-duplicate icon (in the list's header).
=== 10: Resetting a view===
Each view type has default templates which are generated and automatically added to the configuration form when adding a new view. The default View template typically consists of navigation menus, quick filters, add new entry link and entries display. The default Entry template (where applicable) typically adds the base pattern for each field and the edit and delete action buttons. As you build the activity you may change the templates of a view and in some cases you may wish to reset the templates to their defaults. This can be done by clicking the reset icon of the designated view in the views index or in the view configuration form.
=== 11: Deleting one or more views===
You can delete a view by clicking the delete icon of the view. You can delete more than one view in one go by selecting the designated views and clicking and bulk-delete icon (in the list's header).
=== 12: Select views for bulk duplication or deleting ===
You can bulk delete or duplicate views by selecting multiple views in this column. In the header of the list, click on the bulk-symbolf of either deleting or duplicating the view.

== Elements of a view ==

A view consists of different elements, most of them are optional

* '''fields''': They are used to define data units such as numbers, dates, etc. that can be edited/added to an entry
* '''filter''': A filter defines how many entries are displayed in a view, how the entries are sorted and which entries are displayed according to predifened search criteria
* '''html''': With the moodle text editor the layout of a view can be created
* '''name''': The name of the view
* '''tags''': There are tags for special elements such as a paging bar, a search box, an advanced filter, etc..
* '''view dependant settings''': For each view type, there are special settings, that can be applied. For example, the PDF view allows to set the format of the PDF (letter or A4)

== General comments ==

This page will show you how to create a simple datalynx activity. It is a step by step guide how to setup an activity for collecting and discussing photos in a course. This is the most basic setup for a datalynx activity. There are far more complex usages of the module like certification workflows, or course programme catalogues.

== Activity goals of this example activity ==

'''Students''' should upload photos with a shallow depth of field using manual settings of their digital camera. By chosing the right combination of aperture and shutter speed, the object in the foreground should be completely sharp, whereas the background should be blurred.
'''Teachers''' should rate the activity and comment on the photo quality.

In order to achieve that we need the following:
=== Views ===

* A view for creating an entry
* A view for seeing all entries with thumbnail images
* A detailed view with large images ("more view")

=== Fields ===

A field of type '''Image'''. And user profile fields such as Username in order to identify who has made the entry

=== Other components ===

* Comments tag
* Notifications for comments and ratings

== Step 1: Add a new datalynx instance to the course ==

# Click on Add an activity or resource [[Image:datalynx-add.png|none|500px|Add a datalynx instance]]
# Fill out the settings
## Name: The name of the acivity
## Introduction: Contrary to other activities, the introduction is not used to be displayed within the activity. You can use it to display additional information on the course page by checking the box "Display description on course pageHelp with Display description on course page"
## Timing: For this activity not applicable, you can set availability options if you want that the activity can only be acces within a certain timeframe
## Rating: Define how to rate the activity: Points or stars, etc.
## Entry settings: If it is required, that student must make one entry and not more than one entry, you can set "Required entries" and "Maximum entries" to 1.
##* Required entries
##* Entries required before viewing
##* Maximum entries
# Common module setings: Leave default values
# Click on "Save and display"

== Step 2: Define fields ==

After clicking on "Save and display", there are 2 possibilities to continue.
* 1st possibility: Click directly on the page on "Add fields"
* 2nd possibility: In the tabular menu click on "Manage -> Fields"
[[Image:datalynx-create-field.png|none|600px|Go to "Datalynx -> Manage -> Field"]]

You are then in the manage area of the datalynx activity. In the field section (field tab), there is the possibility to choose a field from a dropdown menu.

Select the field of the type "Picture".
[[Image:datalynx-add-field-picture.png|none|600px|Add picture field]]

=== General settings ===

For the general settings, you can use these settings:

* Name: Give the name an understandable name, what kind of picture users should upload
* Description: Optional, not really used
* Visible to: This defines who can view the picture. In some cases other students should not see some fields, but in this case "Everyone" is the correct choice
* Editable: Yes
* Field label: The field label is a "conditional text", that only appears when a the field is present in a view. For mor information see the documentation of fields
* Display dimensions: Choose a size, that would fit in a screen. Example: 400px. Only define the width, if you want, that the height as scaled in the right proportoin.
* Max dimensions: Set this, if you want to limit the max dimension instead of a fixed dimension as on the previous setting
* Size of the thumbnail view.
[[Image:datalynx-field-picture-general.png|none|600px|Picture: General settings]]

=== Field attributes ===

* Total size of uploaded files: Define a file limit. You can tell users to optimize photos in order to fulfill the file size limit.
* Max number of uploaded files: Choose 1 in our case, but you can also tell users to upload to variations of one photo activity.

[[Image:datalynx-field-picture-fieldattributes.png|none|600px|Picture: field attributes]]

== Step 3: Define default view ==

After creating the field(s), it is time to create the views. Let us begin with the default view. The default view is shown after clicking on the Datalynx-link in the course. In our case, the default view will be the list of all entries of the students. We want to have an overview of all the added pictures, so that is the best choice for the default view. In order to create the view follow these steps.

# Go to "Manage -> Views"
# From the dropdown select "Grid view". Grid view is the standard view. Unless there is a special reason for using another view, grid view is the best choice.
# View settings
## General view settings
##* Name: Choose a name for the view. For this example: Photos overview
##* Description: Leave empty
##* Visible to: Choose roles who can see the view
##* Filter: Leave empty. This will display max. 50 entries per page
## Redirect on submit option: This setting is only for editing views. Leave default value.
## View template: This setting defines the general layout of the view. Usually you have a header section with a paging bar, and a link to add a new entry. The header is followed by the repeated entries. In this case each student will add an entry with a photo. The tag ##entries## is a placeholder for the entries made by the users. The ##entries## tag will be replaced with the list of the photos. Just before the ##entries## tag you can add the instructions for the students. Example "With your digital camera in manual mode, set the aperture to the lowest value possible. Select an object such as an egg, a candle,... as foreground. Focus that object and make sure, that the background has enough depth. Focus the chosen object. Post the photo by clicking on "Add new entry" in this activity. Comment on photos of the other students."
## Grid settings: leave default. This will generate a list of photos with one column.
## [[Image:datalynx-view-entrytemplate.png|none|600px|View setting: Entry template]] Entry template: This defines the layout of a single entry. All the fields and other information such as the the name of the user can be defined in this area. In our case we only need the name of the user, the photo and the link to the "more view". In the "more view" tags for commenting and rating a single entry are added. In order to display the name of the user, we use the following tag: ##author:name##. This tag can be chosen from the dropdown menu "Field tags" and inserted instead of the marked text, or at the curser position. The tags ##edit## and ##delete## allow the users to edit their own entries. We select the tag ##more## from the dropdown "Field tags" as placeholder for the link to the "more view".
## Save the view with clicking on "Save changes". You will be redirected to the overview of all views. Currently there is only one view: The one just created.

=== Manage -> Views ===

Click in the column "D" on the icon in order to make the view the Default view. Result should look like that:

[[Image:datalynx-manage-views-setdefault.png|border|Manage: Views]]

== Step 4: Define "New entry view" ==

# Add another view by choosing "Grid view" from the dropdown "Add a view".
# Save with default settings, except the name: Add new photo.
# Save changes and choose the view as "Edit View": Activate the checkbox in the column "E"

[[Image:datalynx-manage-editview.png|border|Manage: Define Editview]]

== Step 5: Define "More view" ==

This view will be the view, where the teacher can add comments and rate the entry. In order to create the view, instead of adding a new view, this time, you duplicate the "Add a photo" view and then edit this view by clicking on the "Edit" symbol.

# Duplicate the view [[Image:datalynx-manage-duplicate-view.png|none|600px|Manage: Duplicate View]]
# Edit the view: Click on the edit symbol
# Add the tags for commenting and rating using the appropriate choices in Entry template "Field tags"
# The "Entry template" section of the "More view" should look similar to that:

[[Image:datalynx-manage-moreview.png|none|600px|Manage: More View]]

After saving the more view, activate the checkbox in the column "M" in order to make the view the "More view".

=== Customize the "More view" ===

In the "More view" or "Single entry view" we want to achieve the following:
# Add possibitlity to add comments
# Show only one entry per page

=== Comments ===

In order make it possible to add comments, we have to add the appropriate tag in the setting "Entry template". Just put the cursor in where you want to have the comments and add the tag via the dropdown "Field tags".

[[Image:datalynx-addcomments.png|none|600px|Add comments]]

The result in the view:
[[Image:datalynx-commentsview.png|none|600px|Add comments]]

=== One entry per page ===

# Go To "Manage -> Filters"
# Click on "Add a filter"
# Name it "Single view" or any other name
# In the settings "Filter -> Per Page" choose 1 from the Dropdown
# Leave default options for all other settings
# Click on "Save changes"
# Go to "Manage -> Views"
# In the "Single view" select the filter from the dropdown

{{Datalynx}}

Datalynx tags are special patterns used in the view settings as a placeholder. These tags inserted in the settings will then be replaced in the view with dynamically created data.

'''Example 1:''' The tag ##author:firstname##, is placed in the view setting "entry template". The user "Micheal Mulley" creates a new entry. The owner of this entry is Micheal Mulley. Viewing the entry will now display "Micheal" in the exact place the tag ##author:firstname## was set in the "view settings". The firstname of the author is taken from the users profile field.

'''Example 2:'''<nowiki> The tag [[my favourite film]] is placed in the "entry template" settings of a view. Before the field "my favourite film" was created in "Manage -> Fields" (type: text). The user clicks on the button "Add new entry" in the default view. A form will open, where the user can enter his/her favourite film in a form, at the exact place where [[my favourite film]] was put in the view settings "entry template".</nowiki>

== Datalynx tag types ==
There are different types of datalynx tags. They can be divided into "where they can be placed" and "what data can be manipulated".

* Datalynx field tags: These tags will display the value of a field, in an entry. In editing mode they will show a form element, that is used for data input. Datalynx field tags can only be used in the "entry template" section in the settings of a view.
** Patterns of a datalynx field tag: This is the pattern used in the view settings as a placeholder
*** <nowiki>[[fieldname]] This will display the value of a field in an entr </nowiki>
*** <nowiki>[[fieldname@]] This will display the content of the "field label", which itself includes a conditional text (that means for example a description of the field and the field value itself. If the field value is empty, the field label will not be shown at all). For a detailed explanation of the field label have a look at [[Datalynx Fields|Fields]]</nowiki>
*** <nowiki>[[fieldname:restricted]] Only users with the capability</nowiki> mod/datalynx:editrestrictedfields can edit or view this field. Per default only the role manager has the capability.
* Datalynx general tags: These tags can serve as placeholder for various types of information. For example information about the author, the entry id or a link to another view.

== Datalynx tag locations ==
There are 2 main locations in where to put tags, and some other rare usecases. The main locations are in the settings of a view "view template" and "entry template"

* View template: These tags have the following properties
** They do not handle data of a single entry
** They do not handle data of a single user
** They handle data of general view properties: '''Example:''' ##quicksearch## provides a search field for entering keywords to search all entries.
* Entry template
** User data relevant for a single entry. '''Example:''' ##author:lastname## displays the last name of the author of an entry in the entry itself
** Entry properties relevant for a single entry. '''Example:''' the id of an entry ##entryid###
** Field tags. These tags are used to display and edit different types of data in a single entry. '''Example:'''<nowiki> [[duration]] will display a duration. The field has to be defined in "Manage -> Fields" prior to be used in a view. In this case the field is of the type "duration". </nowiki>
** Other tags: These include action tags for approving entries, or comment tags for commenting or rating tags.
* Other locations
** Within tags. '''Example:''' A tag for creating a download link in order to download a PDF can include the entry id of an entry, that should be exported as PDF.

== Field tags ==
Field tags have a simple pattern: The fieldname is enclosed in double square brackets:

<nowiki>[[fieldname]]. All the fieldnames are present in the dropdown menu just below the text area in the view setting „Entry template“.</nowiki>

Variations of the tag:

* <nowiki>[[fieldname]]: Displays the value of the field in view mode, shows a form element to input data in edit mode.</nowiki>
* <nowiki>[[*fieldname]]: If the fieldname is preceded by an asterisk, the field will be mandatory when creating/editing an entry. If the field is not filled out, the entry won't be saved and an error message will notice the user to fill out the field.</nowiki>
* <nowiki>[[fieldname@]]: Displays the values of the field with additional text/HTML as defined in setting „field label“ of the field. This is often used to display a description of the field only when a value is set for the field. In edit mode, the form is always rendered with the as defined in the setting „field label“ of the field.</nowiki>
* <nowiki>[[fieldname:restricted]]: Only users with the capability</nowiki> mod/datalynx:editrestrictedfields can edit or view this field. Per default only the role manager has the capability.

== Bulk edit tags ==
These tags should only be used in „tabular view“, which is optimized for bulk editing entries. The tag is placed in the table header.

%%fieldname:bulkedit%%

If placed in the table header of the tabular view, a checkbox will appear for the column to enable bulk edit for the column (one column is a field, entries are displayed in rows). In edit mode, changing the first row (first entry displayed in the tabular view) all other rows marked for editing will have the same value as the value chosen for the first row.

== Calculation tags ==
You can display calculations based on entry values. Calculations can be done with fields of type „number“ and other tags like ##numentriestotal##. The following example shows the syntax to use for calculations. This is done in the „entry template“ setting of the view.

=== Calculation for a single entry ===

{{Datalynx}}
Datalynx fields are used to collect information in a predefined form element such as a text box, a date selector or a number. You can choose between a huge amount of fields. Field administration can be accessed via the tab "Manage -> Fields".
==Adding a field==
To add a field select the field type from the 'Add a field' dropdown. This will open the field configuration form where you can name the field instance and configure other settings as required.
==Setting visibility==
You can set the field visibility either in the field configuration form or by clicking the field's eye icon in the Visible column. The field can be visible to everyone (default), entry-author and managers, or only managers (where managers are users with manageentries capability in the context).
==Setting editability==
You can set the field editability either in the field configuration form or by clicking the field's lock icon in the Editable column. The field can be editable by the entry-author and managers (default) or only by managers (where managers are users with manageentries capability in the context).
==Updating a field==
You can click on the field's name or the edit icon of the field to open the configuration form for updating.
==Duplicating one or more fields==
You can duplicate a field by clicking the duplicate icon of the field. This will create an exact copy of the duplicated fiel with a different name. You can then proceed to update the field settings.

You can duplicate more than one field in one go by selecting the designated fields and clicking the bulk-duplicate icon (in the list's header).
==Deleting one or more fields==
You can delete a field by clicking the delete icon of the field.

You can delete more than one field in one go by selecting the designated fields and clicking and bulk-delete icon (in the list's header).

Datalynx Views

2014-04-21T09:54:50Z

Dasistwas: /* Views */

{{Datalynx}}
==Views==
Datalynx views allow you to control the way entries and other information is displayed in the activity. Views management is done under the Manage -> Views tab.

===Views index===
====Adding a view====
To add a view select the view type from the 'Add a view' dropdown. This will open the view configuration form where you can configure the view templates and behaviour. Typically, views have default configuration and if this default configuration serves your purpose you can simply enter a name for the view and save.
====Setting the default view====
The Datalynx activity must have a default view to fall back on to when the activity is accessed without specifying the target view (for instance, when you access the activity from the activity link on the course page).

A Datalynx activity without a default view is not ready and a message will be displayed on its front page and in the view list advising you to set a default view.

You can select the default view by clicking the 'Default' box in the view list. The selected default view is marked by a check sign. You can change the default view at any time. Since the default view must be visible, if you set a hidden view to default, this view will automatically become visible and you will not be able to hide it as long as it is the default view.
====Setting view visibility====
A view can be either visible or hidden. Visible views can be accessed by users with capability that is granted by default to all roles. Hidden views can be accessed by users with capability that is granted by default only to the teacher role. Users without the required capability will not see views with the respective visibility setting in the standard views navigation menu (##viewsmenu##).
Setting the view visibility can be done from the views index by clicking the eye icon of the designated view or from the visibility setting in the view configuration form.
The default view must be visible and setting a hidden view as the default view will automatically change its visibility to visible.
====Forcing a view filter====
When filters are defined for the activity you can force a filter on a view by selecting the filter either from the index list or in the view configuration form.
When the view forces a filter, users without capability cannot apply other activity filters (the activity filters menu will not be displayed) and user advanced filters (if the option is added to the view) will be appended to the forced filter.
====Resetting a view====
Each view type has default templates which are generated and automatically added to the configuration form when adding a new view. The default View template typically consists of navigation menus, quick filters, add new entry link and entries display. The default Entry template (where applicable) typically adds the base pattern for each field and the edit and delete action buttons. As you build the activity you may change the templates of a view and in some cases you may wish to reset the templates to their defaults. This can be done by clicking the reset icon of the designated view in the views index or in the view configuration form.
====Updating a view====
You can click on the edit icon of the view to open the configuration form for updating.

Note: Clicking on the view name will open the view in browse mode rather than the configuration form.
====Duplicating one or more views====
You can duplicate a view by clicking the duplicate icon of the view. This will create an exact copy of the duplicated view with a different name. You can then proceed to update the view settings. This may be particularly useful if you need to create several very similar views. For example, you can create a complex view and then duplicate it, and assign to each of the instances a different filter so as to have a designated view for certain subsets of the entries.

You can duplicate more than one view in one go by selecting the designated views and clicking the bulk-duplicate icon (in the list's header).
====Deleting one or more views====
You can delete a view by clicking the delete icon of the view.

You can delete more than one view in one go by selecting the designated views and clicking and bulk-delete icon (in the list's header).

You can select the default view by clicking the 'Default' box in the view list. The selected default view is marked by a check sign. You can change the default view at any time. Since the default view must be visible, if you set a hidden view to default, this view will automatically become visible and you will not be able to hide it as long as it is the default view.
====Setting view visibility====
A view can be either visible or hidden. Visible views can be accessed by users with capability that is granted by default to all roles. Hidden views can be accessed by users with capability that is granted by default only to the teacher role. Users without the required capability will not see views with the respective visibility setting in the standard views navigation menu (##viewsmenu##).
Setting the view visibility can be done from the views index by clicking the eye icon of the designated view or from the visibility setting in the view configuration form.
The default view must be visible and setting a hidden view as the default view will automatically change its visibility to visible.
====Forcing a view filter====
When filters are defined for the activity you can force a filter on a view by selecting the filter either from the index list or in the view configuration form.
When the view forces a filter, users without capability cannot apply other activity filters (the activity filters menu will not be displayed) and user advanced filters (if the option is added to the view) will be appended to the forced filter.
====Resetting a view====
Each view type has default templates which are generated and automatically added to the configuration form when adding a new view. The default View template typically consists of navigation menus, quick filters, add new entry link and entries display. The default Entry template (where applicable) typically adds the base pattern for each field and the edit and delete action buttons. As you build the activity you may change the templates of a view and in some cases you may wish to reset the templates to their defaults. This can be done by clicking the reset icon of the designated view in the views index or in the view configuration form.
====Updating a view====
You can click on the edit icon of the view to open the configuration form for updating.

Note: Clicking on the view name will open the view in browse mode rather than the configuration form.
====Duplicating one or more views====
You can duplicate a view by clicking the duplicate icon of the view. This will create an exact copy of the duplicated view with a different name. You can then proceed to update the view settings. This may be particularly useful if you need to create several very similar views. For example, you can create a complex view and then duplicate it, and assign to each of the instances a different filter so as to have a designated view for certain subsets of the entries.

You can duplicate more than one view in one go by selecting the designated views and clicking the bulk-duplicate icon (in the list's header).
====Deleting one or more views====
You can delete a view by clicking the delete icon of the view.

You can delete more than one view in one go by selecting the designated views and clicking and bulk-delete icon (in the list's header).
====Access and Notifications info====
====Patterns validation and replacement====

{{Datalynx}}
This page describes the settings available for a single Datalynx activity. These settings can be accessed directly after adding the activity to a course. After the activity has been setup for the first time, the settings can be accessed in two ways:
* Via the Block Administration, if you are in the activity: "Administration -> Datalynx activity administration -> Edit settings".
* On the course page: Turn editing on, click on the editing symbol just right of the activity name. [[Image:datalynx-editsettings.png|none|600px|Edit settings]]

==General==
===Name===
The name of the datalynx instance (e.g. “Activity: Photo of the week”). The text entered is displayed on the course page as the text of the link to the activity.
===Description===
The description of the datalynx is optional and may include a description of the content of the datalynx, instructions for participating in the activity. If you check the checkbox "Display description on course page", the description will be shown on the course page just below the name. The description won't be displayed within the activity itself.
==Timing==
===Available from===
If enabled, this time appears in the course calendar. Students can not enter the activity before this time.
===Due===
If enabled, this time appears in the course calendar. Students can enter the activity after this time but whether they can not add new entries.
To Enable this feature simply tick the Enable checkbox and set the date and time as desired.
Notes on Date Settings
Both the Available from and Due dates are displayed for learners in the datalynx details, but the Due date is also marked in the course Calendar as a visible reminder for participants and provides a link to the activity.
===Duration===
The duration of the activity from its Available-from time. With the a specified duration the due date is calculated automatically as 'Available from' plus the product of the duration (minutes) and the number of intervals.
===Number of intervals===
Together with the Interval setting, the Number of intervals allows the instructor to set up the datalynx as a periodic activity. For example, with a one-week interval duration and the number of intervals set to five, the datalynx will function as a weekly activity ending after five weeks.
By default, the number of intervals is set to 1 and disabled. It may be enabled by specifying an interval. With specific interval and number of intervals the due date is calculated automatically (see Interval above).
All the entries settings (e.g. max entries, required entries etc.; see below) are per interval. For example, the activity is set to ten one-week intervals and maximum entries is set to one, participants may add up to one entry every week up to a total of ten entries by the end of the activity.
==Rating==
===Grade===
Choose how to rate entries: You can use different scales or points for rating. You can add scales via "Administration -> Site administration -> Grades -> Scale".
===Grading method===
This defines how the grade is being calculated. For example if you grade more than one entries, the overall grade can be the maximum rating or the average rating of all the posts of a participant. Mor on that: [https://docs.moodle.org/25/en/Grades_FAQ Moodle Grades FAQ]

==Entry settings==
===Maximum entries===
The maximum number of entries a participant may add to the activity.
This setting may be useful for applications such as essay/structured assignment and periodic reports. It also prevents from flooding the activity with unnecessary or spam entries.
===Required entries===
The number of entries each participant is required to enter before the activity may be considered complete. The participant will see a reminder message upon entering the activity if s/he has not submitted the required number of entries.
===Group entries===
Entries will be added with group info but without author info. This settings requires group mode.
===Editing time limit===
The time limit (minutes) within which a user without manage entries capability can update or delete a new entry.
-1: Unlimited.
0: The entry cannot be updated or deleted after submission.
N: The entry can be updated or deleted within N minutes (where N is any positive number, e.g. 30).
==Common module settings==
See [[Common module settings]]
==Restrict access/Activity completion==
(These settings are collapsed by default)
These settings are visible if [[Conditional activities]] and [[Activity completion]] have been enabled in the site and the course.

If enabled on site level and course level, datalynx offers completion tracking.
For datalynx you can set a completion criteria: The number of approved entries. You have to activate "Require approval" in the "Entry settings"
