## Example

The user wants to load the data from dataset "l\_customer".

### Step

1. Create a button, pannel, datalist and label from component.

   ![](/files/9NSeC1t7l7hZY5GxdFYq)

   ![](/files/f28OR59RVYyLONuB4aVh)

   \
   ( Set the dataset name "l\_customer" for column Dataset. We assumed the dataset name have been created when you create local table in Services. )

   ![](/files/RYcSmlMpGXm8sCCRwLy5)

   ![](/files/0w3AdtDA2g0XYnaqSKyo)

   \
   ( When you click the each label, set the field name to "code" "id" and "name" respectively for field column. )<br>
2. Call the function "dataFromString" and define the dataset and string.\
   dataset: l\_customer\
   string: \[{"id":"1","code":"C20000","name":"Maxi-Teq","address":"300 Billings Drive","tel":"555-0110","term":"C.O.D"},{"id":"2","code":"C23900","name":"Parameter Technology","address":"908 Darby Road","tel":"555-0119","term":"C.O.D"}

   ![](/files/fHQa4AJj4KJQVmbjEie9)
3. Call the function "loadData"and define the dataset and limit.\
   dataset: l\_customer\
   limit: 20

   ![](/files/BAFfQBHiiqPhUcEFSr9W)

### Result

![](/files/9Ex1EfBoV72MUh83xV8j)

![](/files/ILTLAaavxvZSM1cBjUyy) ( When you call the function "dataFromString", and put a string in json format.The outcome was shown in image above. )

![](/files/jgo8DGjKGauPQ7dgdyAz)\
( When you call the function "loadData", and set the limit is 20, therefore it will display the data from id 1-20 instead of until id 24. )
