Get a Document’s Data Source Information

When developing business solutions that connect BarTender with other products, such as ERP packages, an automated methods for users to discover the named data sources available in a BTW file is extremely useful. Using the BTXML GetFormatProperties tag in the BarTender Cloud Actions API, a user can now see all the database fields in a BarTender document. The GetFormatProperties call returns any database fields (text data, Excel, or database) used in a document.

For more information about the GetFormatProperties tag, see the Using BTXML Script section of the Automating BarTender section in the BarTender on-prem help, available at help.seagullscientific.com.
