Documentation

Definition

Indicates whether a field is intended to be displayed in the PLM Portal.

Use

Fields with this indicator form the maximum scope for field selection.

Dependencies

This is how the system determines which fields should be displayed in the WEB Frontend:

  • In the first step, the system determines the maximum scope of the fields.
  • In the second step, the system checks whether personalized data exists for the field selection for the user of the WEB Frontend.
    • If no personalized data exists, then the maximum scope is displayed.
    • If personalized data exists, then only the selected partial quantity is displayed.
