Alternate Value Translations

Overview

Value Translations are used in the HWebDispatcher to change the displayed text in a particular grid field.  When Alternate Value Translations are specified under Special Formatting column of Grid Layout, the below alternate displays can be viewed.  To enable each view, set the Special Formatting option under Grid Layout to Value translation (alternate).  Then in the Data Format column enter the desired numeric code from the list below.  For example if you desire to show a Driver’s Name and Employee ID in a trip grid; select the Driver column within Grid Layout, changing Special Formatting from none to value translation (alternate), then type the number 4 into the Data Format column, press OK.  Now the driver field will show the employee ID and Driver’s name instead of just the Driver’s name.  If no specific value translation is selected the default display is numeric code 2.
