Referenced Tables |
Scroll |
Referenced Tables allow a category's or case
definition's index fields to reference data in an external database. This provides a convenient way to link an index field to a database table from another system. Typically, this is done by setting up a view of the external database within the Therefore™ database.
The table needs to be in the Therefore™ database. Typically this is done by creating a view on the external database. Or, for Therefore™ Online systems where the Therefore™ server cannot access the external database, using Table Replication.
Right-clicking on the Referenced Tables object opens its context menu.

It is not possible to delete a referenced table if it is being used by one or more categories. You must first delete the field in every category that references the table. |

When you remove an index field from a category definition, ALL of the existing values in EVERY document saved to Therefore™ for that category will be removed. |
