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 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.

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.

Standard Settings

No standard settings are available for field selection.

The modifiable and influencing fields are predefined for each screen group and cannot be extended.
