Restrictions for Maintenance and Help Views). The foreign keys violating these conditions are displayed at the end of the list under the header Relationships with unsuitable cardinality.Choose Table fields. All the tables contained in the view are listed in a dialog box. Select a table. The fields of the table are now displayed in a dialog box.
