Documentation

Definition

Numerical key for the maintenance method for the view.

Use

For single-level maintenance (1), there is only one maintenance screen. Here, the entries to be maintained are displayed in list form (list or overview screen). One entry should be displayed per screen line.

For two-level maintenance (2), in addition to the overview screen, there is a detail screen, which shows more information for each entry. This screen can be accessed from each overview screen for each entry by selecting the appropriate function key. This is useful for views, whose entries cannot be displayed completely on one screen line, or if there are specific ergonomic requirements on the screen layout.

Procedure

If you want the view to have only one overview screen, enter 1 here.
If you want the view to have a detail screen as well, enter a 2 here.
