Sourcing From URL Parameters

The data comes from a database table or as the result of a query.

Check this option to provide the record’s primary key value via the generated web page’s URL.  This primary key value is then used to select the specified record from the database.  This is a very common way of requesting individual records to be displayed.  See Using URL Parameters for details.

The URL contains the primary key value of a record in the database.  Your application parses the URL parameter, extracts the primary key value, and performs the record lookup in the database.

In this example, a query string called “ID” is used in the URL to convey a primary key value of “Bob Pinkston”.  Bob Pinkston’s record is retrieved from the Customers table and displayed by a series of FieldValue tags in the generated web page.
