Customise Stripe View Feature
The Stripe View is a new feature in TallyPrime Release 5.0 that allows users to easily relate data across widely spaced columns without moving the cursor to each line. To enable this feature, we are introducing a TDL attribute called Stripes within the Report, Form, Part, and Line definitions.
If you enable the master configuration (Help > Settings > Display > Enable stripes view for report: Yes) and use scrolling in the report, you don’t need to manually apply the Stripes attribute at the Report, Form, Part, or Line level. The report automatically displays in stripe view.
However, if you do not use scrolling in the report, you must apply the Stripes attribute at the Report, Form, Part, or Line level based on your specific requirements.
Syntax:
[Line : <Line Name>]
Stripes :<Logcal Formula>
where,
<Logical Formula> returns Yes/No, determining whether stripes are enabled or disabled.
Example:
[!Line: Stripes Line]
Stripes : Yes
Default Behavior of Stripes
Stripes Automatically Apply to Lines
-
Repeated Lines with Scroll: The system automatically applies stripes to lines when scroll is enabled.
-
Simple Lines with Scroll (Fixed: No): The system automatically applies stripes to simple lines when scrolling is enabled and they are not marked as fixed.
Stripes Do Not Automatically Apply to Lines
-
Simple Lines: Without scroll, the system does not apply stripes by default.
-
Repeated Lines Without Scrolls: The system does not apply stripes to repeated lines without scrolling.
-
Fixed Lines: The system does not apply stripes to lines marked as fixed.
Stripes Do Not Automatically Apply to Parts
- Fixed Parts: When you mark parts as fixed, the system does not apply stripes. It excludes parts and lines associated with fixed parts from the stripe view.
Stripes Do Not Automatically Apply to Empty Lines
-
Lines Associated with Empty Objects: The system does not apply stripes to lines linked to empty objects, as opposed to master objects.
-
Fixed Fields: The system does not include fields marked as fixed in stripes.
Additional Notes
- You can set the Fixed attribute at the Part, Line, and Field levels. When you mark Parts and Lines as fixed, they follow the behavior concerning stripes as mentioned above. When you mark a Part or Field as Fixed, the platform internally sets the associated Line as fixed.
- The platform processes the Fixed attribute for Fields after processing the Lines. As a result, it internally sets a Line’s Fixed status after the explosion of the Part mentioned in the Line. Before drawing and during Line processing for stripes, if you consider a Line as fixed, the platform does not include the exploded Part and its Lines in the Stripe View by default.
- Due to this, if you need the exploded Part and its Lines included in the Stripe View, you must explicitly set the Part using the Stripes attribute.
FAQ
Can the color of the stripe view be changed?
The stripe color is automatically determined by the platform based on the report’s background color. Therefore, you cannot change the stripe color independently.
