Prerequisites

If segments already exist in the selected cycle, you can display a list of all segments of this cycle in a dialog box. You can call up the segment overview from all screens within the cycle definition.

Note

If you go to the cycle maintenance from the cycle overview display and have changed segments, the system updates the tree structure and the related cycle information in the cycle overview display when saving.

Procedure

  1. To call up the segment overview, choose Segment overview or Goto ® Segment overview.

    2. The system displays the following data for each segment in a dialog box:

    - Segment name

    - Segment text

    - Sort field

    - Sender rule

    - Receiver rule

    - Type of scaling for negative tracing factors

    - Indicates whether the segment is locked

    - Percentage amount of sender

    - Current segment number

  2. All the fields are ready for input, except for the sender rules, receiver rules and the current segment number.

    3. This allows you to quickly execute changes to the cycle definitions using this list.

  3. If you want to sort the segment according to given criteria, you should save the contents that characterize the segment in the sort field.

    4. The system can sort the segments in the cycle according to these contents.

    Note

    To sort existing segments in a given sequence, you should use the sort field and do not change the segment names.

  4. To ensure that your entries in the dialog box are correct, choose Continue or Enter.
    1. If you have selected invalid values for the scaling of negative tracing factors, you receive an error message.
    2. If you have changed the named of an existing segment, you receive a message.
  5. To go from the list to a specific segment,
    1. Position your cursor on the segment in the segment list.
    2. Choose Select or double-click on the segment.
  6. To saved changes within the list, choose Transfer values.

    7. The system returns to the context from which the list was requested.

  7. To search for individual segments in the list,
    1. Choose Search
    2. Select the search criteria in the dialog box and enter the related data.
    3. Specify whether you want to search in the entire dialog box or only from the current cursor position.
    4. Choose Continue to leave the dialog box.

    The cursor springs to the selected segment in the list.

    If you have already searched for a term, you can continue the search by choosing More searches.

  8. You can sort the list as follows:

    9. Sorting a list by column

    1. Select the column by double-clicking the column header.
    2. Choose Sort ascending or Sort descending.

Resorting segments in a list
    1. Position the cursor on the segment and choose Cut segment.
    2. Position your cursor on the segment before which the segment is to be inserted and choose Insert segment.
    3. Assign a new name for the inserted segment.

Note

The sort function does not change the physical file for the segments on the database and therefore does not change the sequence when execute the cycle.
  1. You can copy one of the segments from the list and thereby physically change the cycle on the database.
    1. Position the cursor on the segment and choose Copy segment.
    2. Position your cursor on the segment before which the copy is to be inserted and choose Insert segment.
    3. Assign a new name for the inserted segment.
  1. Choose Print to print the list.

Specify the printer and the number of copies in the dialog box.
