Layouts for the List/Report Selection table

Overview

The display of the List/Report Selection table under option 1 is controlled through Layouts. Here, one must differentiate between three types of layouts:

  1. The layouts, which are administered under option C.3
  2. The layouts Job, List and Status, which exist in Adabas Audit Data Retrieval and can not be changed
  3. User-defined layouts

    Each user can define an own layout. This layout (PRIVATE) is displayed if the user enters the value User in the Layout field on page 2 of the "Select Lists or Reports" panel.

Available layouts

As the administrator, you determine which layouts should be used for the "List/Report Selection Table" display:

  • The administrator-defined layouts from option C.3

    These layouts are used if the following applies to the current language of the user: at least one of the layouts defined under option C.3 is active.

  • The three non-changeable layouts of the system -- Job, List and Status

    These layouts are used if the following applies to the current language of the user: none of the layouts defined under option C.3 is active.

Independent of this, user-defined layouts are basically always available.

Behavior under option 1 with job/list/status

The three unchangeable layouts Job, List and Status are available if no administrator-defined layout is active in the current language of the user. In this case, the following behavior applies under option 1:

  • By entering Job, List or Status in the Layout field on page 2 of the "Select Lists or Reports" panel, the user determines with which of these layouts the "List/Report Selection Table" will be displayed.
  • You can switch between the three layouts in the "List/Report Selection Table" with the PF10 (LEFT) and PF11 (RIGHT) keys.

Behavior under option 1 with administrator-defined layouts

The following behavior applies under option 1 if at least one of the layouts defined under option C.3 is active in the current language of the user:

  • The selection between the administrator-defined layouts is carried out exclusively with the PF10 (LEFT) and PF11 (RIGHT) keys.
  • When the session ends, the layout which was active last is stored in the user profile. In the next session, this layout is automatically used for this user when the "Select Lists or Reports" panel is displayed.
  • The Layout field on page 2 of the "Select Lists or Reports" panel serves exclusively to allow the selection of the user-defined layout. The corresponding field in the user-definition (option C.1) has no function.

Default settings after installation

The following default applies during the installation:

  • Four active layouts exist under option C.3 for each language supported by Adabas Audit Data Retrieval: Job, List, Status and Archive.
  • The layouts Job, List and Status, in structure, correspond to the known non-changeable layouts. The additional layout Archive with information on the archival of lists/reports serves as an example and proposal for creating own layouts.
