Screen Variants

Screen variants allow you to simplify screen editing by:

Inserting default values in fields
Hiding and changing the ready-for-input status of fields
Hiding and changing the attributes of table control columns

A screen variant contains field values and attributes for only one screen but can be assigned to multiple transaction variants. Screen variants are always cross-client but they may be assigned to a client-specific transaction. They can also be called at runtime by a program.

A specific namespace has been designated for screen variants and they are automatically attached to the Change and Transport System.
