Step 6: Focus Objects

The graphic shows whether an object (or change status) in the database, fulfills your selection criteria and/or your selection parameter variant. (See graphic legend).

When you select your worklist, the system first determines the focus objects:

Operation A10 is not a focus object, because sub-operation A11 does not fulfill the selection criteria.

Operation A20 is not a focus object. Both operation A20 and sub-operation A21 may fulfill the selection criteria, however sub-operation A21 does not fulfill the selection criteria.

Operation A30 is a focus object, because it fulfills the criteria if

Any one change status for operation A30 fulfills both the selection criteria and the selection parameter variant (in the example, this is change status CH2 for operation A30)

And any one (or any other) change status for operation A30 has a sub-operation, which fulfills both the selection criteria and the selection parameter variant (in the example, this is change status CH1 for operation A30).

Operation A30 is therefore the only focus object and is shown in the graphic with a white background.
