About Iterator Tags

An iterator tag is a type of Siebel tag that defines the number of times the tag must iterate the contents of the iterator tag. For example, if you use the same HTML and Siebel tags with controls or page items that contain different values for the Id parameter, then you can use the following <div od-prefix> tag to reduce the size of the template files:

<div od-prefix=<id attr> od-iterator="<iteratorName>" od-id=[startValue:count]>

You can use the following iterator tags:

• <div od-prefix>

• <div od-iterator="rowIterator">

• <div od-iterator="childIterator">

• <div od-iterator="nodeIterator">

• <div od-iterator="indentIterator">

• <div od-iterator="valueIterator">

The <div od-prefix> tag includes the following attributes:

• count. Specifies the number of times the <div od-prefix> tag must iterate the contents of the <div od-prefix> tag.

• startValue. The value assigned to the iterator at the start of the iteration. The tag assigns this value to the iterator to start the iteration. The tag increments the value by one for each iteration.

• iteratorName. The name of the iterator. You can use this name to get the value of the iterator during the iteration. You use the following format: <div od-iterator="<tag>Iterator">.
