Fields

Field

Description

Number

Determines the position of the element in the query mask (we recommend that you use non-sequential numbers to leave room for future modifications)

Sub-Group Number

The subgroup number (01..99) identifies elements that belong to one subgroup (when using alternative input groups).

Layout definitions with the subgroup number 0 do not belong to any input group.

For more information, see the sidehead "Alternative groups of input fields" in "User-defined query masks (Option 2.6)".

Index Name

If the element defined in this layout definition is the input field of an index, then specify the name of this index. You can also specify a mask and then select the index from the list of matching index descriptions (Option 2.3).

If the element defined in this layout definition is a descriptive text or an empty line, leave this field blank.

Description

Text to be displayed

How this text will be displayed depends on whether an index is specified in the Index Name field:

  • Index specified

    The specified text is the field description of the input field. The text will be displayed right-justified relative to the arrow of the input field. You can leave this field blank if you want the index name or the text from the index description to be displayed.

  • No index specified

    The specified text is a descriptive text for the query mask. The text is displayed left-justified relative to the border of the panel. If you want an empty line to be displayed at this position, leave this field blank.

Input required ...
... for search level

If Input required = Yes, this input field is a required field (a user must enter a value in this field; the first character of this value must not be a mask).

The for search level field defines whether input is required at a specific index level (local, global, or both).

If the query mask includes alternative groups of fields, the required fields of unused subgroups are ignored.

Enable range selection

If Yes, two input fields are shown for this index in order to enable a search within a range.

Save input

Determines whether the value entered by a user is stored and used for prepopulating this field in future queries of this user (UGF table; default: Yes)

If you specify No, Adabas Audit Data Retrieval will not store any values and it will not prepopulate the field with values of former queries.
