Column Exclude options

These options extend the metadata of a specific column and change its behaviour inside projects. Different templates use this metadata in different ways.

Exclude from Generation

Templates will try to ignore this column as if it did not exist. Equivalent to removing the column from the table in the Datastore.

Exclude from insert

Templates exclude the column when rows of data are inserted into the database, and exclude it from the user interface whenever data for a new row in the database is entered by the user.

GenWise uses this option automatically when the column is an identity column or when the column is filled by a sequence in the database.

Exclude from update

Templates exclude the column when rows of data are updated in the database, and exclude it from the user interface when data changes are entered by the user.

GenWise uses this option automatically when the column is an identity column or when the column is filled by a sequence in the database.
