Define screen
selection for standard networks
In this step, you can make a field selection
for the screens in a standard network.
All screens for which field selection is
possible are grouped together in individual screen groups:
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 list 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.
If you copy a standard network in a network,
the field selection of the standard network is ignored.
You can display the technical names of the
fields by choosing the menu options Edit -> Other
view.
