Define Field
Selection for Work Breakdown Structures
In this step, you can make a field selection
for the screens of the
project definition and the WBS elements.
For each screen group, so-called "modifiable"
and "influencing" fields can be defined:
- For the modifiable fields, you use indicators
to determine how individual fields are displayed on the screen:
- Field is ready for input (default
setting)
- Field requires an entry (required
entry)
For example, if you
specify that the work center field requires an entry for lists and detail
screens in network confirmation, then you must enter a work center every time
you make a confirmation.
- For the influencing fields, you use a value to
specify how the modifiable field is displayed on the screen. For example, you
can specify that the work center is a required entry for a particular order
type.
Notes
The settings of the field selection can be
transported and are retained during the release upgrades.
If, due to a change of an influencing field, a
modified field becomes mandatory, that is, it becomes a required entry, the
system does not check whether this field is filled in all existing
objects.
Required-entry fields which are predefined by
the application cannot be modified.
If you copy a standard network to a network,
the field selection of the standard network is ignored.
Standard
Settings
No predefined settings are available for field
selection.
Further
Notes
The modifiable and influencing fields are
predefined for each screen group and cannot be extended.
Via Edit -> Other
view, you can display the technical names of the
fields.
