A group on a view is a link to another table. A group lets you enter multiple values for information stored in the linked table without having to open the separate table. The setup of the view of the linked table applies to any groups that appear for that table. (For example, if you edit the address table to which the location view is linked, the changes appear in the Address group of the Edit Location Parameters window.) (For more information about groups, see the “Horizon User Interface” chapter of the Horizon Basics Guide.)
Because each table has its own view to control its edit and list properties, adding a group to one view consists only of specifying the view for the other table.
Groups occupy an ord position as do single columns. Therefore, you need to assign each group a unique ord number (that is, an ord number that is not used by either another group or another single column). Display the selection drop-down list for both the Edit View group and the Edit Links group to see which ord numbers are used.
To add a group, you need to know these details:
• | The view that controls the display of the table you are linking. (This is the table the group will show.) |
(For instructions on opening the correct view, see Finding and Opening the Correct View.)
• | Where you want the group to appear in relation to other fields on the window. To determine this, look up the ord numbers of the columns or groups that will appear before and after the group that you are adding. You can assign the new group any number between the other two fields. |
