Displaying a List of Assigned Fields

Procedure

You can get an overview of the fields that are assigned to an InfoSet in the InfoSet maintenance screen by choosing the function Expand All in the right side of the screen.

If you choose InfoSet  Description on the InfoSet maintenance initial screen, you get a complete overview of the InfoSet, including a list of all field groups with assigned fields. You can also print this overview. You can also display a list of all field groups and assigned fields by choosing Environment  Directories  Fields/Field Groups.

If you are not sure whether to assign a field to a field group, you can request documentation. To do this, place the cursor on the field and choose Extras  Field Description. You then see the field documentation. This also contains a technical description (type, length and so on).

Currency amounts are stored in the logical database as pairs of fields. The first field contains the amount and the second field the currency or unit. Although the fact that the logical database itself always ensures that the (amount, unit/currency) pair contains the correct values means that it is not necessary to know which reference fields belong to which amount fields when maintaining an InfoSet over a logical database, in the case of an InfoSet that is not based on a logical database, the InfoSet itself has to ensure that the values in the amount and unit fields belong together (for example, by reading another table). This means that the correspondence between the amount fields and unit fields has to be known.

The reference field is always displayed in the lower right box for changing field texts.
