Importing a Set to Link to an Attribute
This Help topic describes features that are available in XMap
GIS Editor and XMap GIS Enterprise.
Each layer contains a set of attributes relative to that layer; you can import an
additional attribute set relative to that layer. Once you import the attribute set, you
can link it to the layer's attributes to view additional information about the layer.

change your date value to a string value in the source database.
