In this work step you define the status selection profile which you use to define the status combinations for the selection of objects (such as change master records, change requests, change orders). A status selection profile is therefore, particularly useful if you repeatedly select a large number of objects according to the same selection criteria.
Selection run
The selection criteria are evaluated from top to bottom. The following rules apply:
- Several consecutive lines, linked with an OR, are cumulated in a block and are evaluated at the same time. The block must fulfil at least one selection criterion.
- AND links such blocks or individual criterion. All blocks or individual criterion linked by AND have to be fulfilled. A change number is removed from the evaluation, as soon as a block or individual criterion is not fulfilled. That means that each time a new AND is added, brackets are placed around the previous expresion. To select the desired selection combination you may have to reshape the selection criteria.
- In general you can say that: OR is a stronger link than AND !
Status "Active", "Inactive", or "Never active"
In addition, you can define the level of the status to be selected from:
- When the status is set to active the system looks for objects for which the given status is currently active.
- When the status is set to inactive the system looks for objects for which the given status is currently inactive.
- When the status is set to never active the system looks for change numbers in which the given status was never active.
"Exempt" indicator
In certain cases, this indicator enables you to reduce the input times when maintaining selection criteria. Some selection criteria can be seen more easily by setting the exempt indicator.
Example
Selection criteria without exempt indicator:
Link text Exempt Level
<Status> _ Inactive
OR <Status> _ Never active
Same selection criteria with exempt indicator:
Link text Exempt Level
<Status> X Inactive
Recommendation
Criteria that significantly restrict the selection, ought to be set at the start of the status selection profile for performance reasons.
System status/User status
In the status selection profile, you can enter both system status and user status. If you want to select objects by user status, you have to enter the relevant status profile.
Language dependancy of a selection profile
Once a selection profile has been created in a language, it can be used in all the languages defined by the system. However, if the user status is defined in a status selection profile you have to make sure that the user status is translated in the relevant status profile. If no translation exists, you have to enter the user status in the language in which it was created.
Aktivities
If necessary, define your own status selection profiles.
