Noodle PageLineSeq() Method

Add sequence numbers to a column within the detail portion of a data view page. Sequence numbers start at 1 and increment by 1 for each line on the page.

Noodle is useful for maintaining data lists. When inserting new rows, or moving rows around in a list, one needs to make data updates to preserve the sort order desired by the user. PageLineSeq facilitates this chore.

Syntax

var items = [

  ["6","Animal","Cat","1"],
  ["7","Animal","Dog","1"],
  ["8","Mineral","Ruby","1"],
  ["9","Mineral","Quartz","1"]
];
var db1 = new Noodle(items, ["Seq","Category","Item","Count"]);

// Create a new data view, Items by Category
db1.InitializeView();
db1.EnterHeader(2);
db1.EnterColumnar(1);
db1.EnterColumnar(3);
db1.GenerateView();

// Create a new line with Item value = "Cougar"
db1.OpenLine(1, 2);
db1.PutValue("Cougar", 1, 2, 3);

// Update Sequence values to maintain the sort order
db1.PageLineSeq(1, 1);
