Specifying Edit Link Properties

You can link another table to a view (creating a group in the view) by specifying edit link properties. (For more information on groups, see Adding a Group to a View .)

To specify edit link properties

1 Open the view for the window that you want to reconfigure.

For instructions on opening the correct view, see Finding and Opening the Correct View.

2 Choose the view that you want to edit, or create a new view.

Horizon displays an Edit Horizon View window.

3 Click Page Down or resize the window to display the Edit Links group:

4 Complete these fields as necessary:

Field

Action

Ed. Order

Enter the number for the order or position of the group in relation to the other fields.

This should be a unique number.

Linked View

Enter or choose the code for the view that controls the display of the information that appears in the group.

(For example, if you want to add a group for phone numbers to the Edit Borrower window, the linked view would be borrower_phone.)

Label

Enter the label that appears at the upper-left corner of the group.

Link Column(s)

Enter the column that the linked view has in common with the view you are working with.

(For example, if you are linking the borrower_phone view to the borrower view, the link column would be borrower#.)

Key Dependency

This field determines how much the main table depends on the information stored in the linked table.

Choose one of these options:

Fully Dependent on Superordinate Table.
Partially Dependent.
Totally Independent.

Min Required

Enter the number of required group entries that users must enter in the group.

For example, to require two address entries in the Address group on the location table, you enter “2” in the Min Required field on the Edit Links group for the Address group entry on the Location table.

5 Save your changes.
6 Do one of these options:
If you want to change additional properties for the view, continue with Specifying Column Types.
If you are finished changing view properties, exit Horizon and log back in to view your changes.
