Creating a Dive Page

You can create a new dive page or alter an existing page, and then place the page within its own module, menu-area, or data-area.

To define a dive page:

1. In your DiveTab project in Workbench, open the main.divetab.

2. Click the green plus sign, and select New Area > Data Area.

   

3. Under Button Properties > Area , enter a Title and an Icon.

   

4. Note the Area ID value, and then click Click here to edit Area.

   

   The script opens.

5. Locate the Area ID block in the script.

   NOTE: You might need to reposition the title and icon tags above the sections tag.

6. Enter the information needed to define the dive-page in the sections block.

   A dive page requires cplan, title, and dimension tags.

   Here is an example of a dive page.

     dive-page { 
       title "Dive Page Sample" 
       cplan "/cplans/basic_101.cplan" 
       
       dimension "Corporate Chain"
        
       dimcount-dimension "Corporate Product Group" 
       dimcount-dimension "Corporate Product Sub Group" 
       
       quickview-dimension "Resp Team" 
       
       text column = "Cases"
       text column = "Net Sales" { 
         value-format "$#,###.00" 
       } 
     } 

   NOTES:

   • If available dimensions or available columns are included, they appear as options in the Edit QuickViews dialog box.

   • QuickViews can be included using the quickview-dimension or quickview-set attributes.

   • A QuickView set can use a different cPlan.

   If a dimension is defined as both a dimension and a dimcount-dimension, the dimcount-definition is ignored.

7. Save and Sync your work frequently, and verify the page on the DiveTab client.

Here is the result of the code in DiveTab.

Each additional dimension becomes a Dive Dimension and an option for switching with the primary dimension.
