Definition

The data record index is used to assign data records in the database to form fields.

Use

You usually enter the value 1 for the data index. The following exceptions exist:

  • If you have set the Create operation for the info object and the info object has the time constraint 3, you can create not just one new data record, but also several new data records. If you only want to create one new data record, then use the value 1. If you want to create two data records, then use the value 1 for the fields that are to be incorporated in the first data record, and the value 2 for the fields that are to be incorporated in the second data record. It is not permitted to start with the value 2 or any larger value. If you want to create more data records, then increase the data index successively.
  • If you have set the Delete operation for the info object and the info object has the time constraint 3, you can delete not just only data record, but also several data records. To do this, use the value "*" (asterisk) for the data index. Entering the asterisk means that all data records in the relevant time interval are deleted.
