Stratum.Planner ViewSetItem properties are available to you as variables when setting up captions for regular measure items with time ranges in Stratum.Viewer. The From and To variables you see in the Caption Expression window correspond to the Short Description, Long Description, and Year properties of ViewSetItems. The property values for the selected variables in an expression will display in the evaluated caption in the grid.
Note: For a full list of From and To variables and what ViewSetItem values they resolve to in the executed caption, see Caption Expression Window. See also ViewGroups and ViewSets in the Stratum Storage Database.
Here is a view with two measure items and their captions.
The same expression syntax was used for both measure items. Four of the From and To variables were used to build the caption expression – From Period Short Desc, To Period Short Desc, From Year YYYY, and To Year YYYY.
The short description from the corresponding ViewSetItem is used for the From and To Period Short Desc variables. If our example caption had used the From and To Period Long Desc variables, then the long description from the corresponding ViewSetItem would have been used.
The four digit Year from the corresponding ViewSetItem is used for the From and To Year YYYY variables in our example. If our example caption had used the From and To Year YY variables, then only the last two digits of the Year from the corresponding ViewSetItem would have been used. And if our example caption had used the From Year or To Year Long Desc variables, then the Year Long Description from the corresponding ViewSetItem would have been used in the evaluated expression in the grid.
