Documentation

Definition

Contains a code that represents a subtype. A subtype allows you to categorize the information you enter for a given infotype. The subtypes available differ according to infotype.

Use

In create mode, use this field to identify the subtype you want to work with. To do so either:

  • Enter in the appropriate code
  • Retrieve a list of acceptable entries and make a selection

In change and display modes, the system automatically completes the field, and it may not be edited.

Supplementary Documentation - SUBTYP 1000

Use

The Subtype field contains a 4-digit code that represents a subtype. Subtypes allow you to categorize the information entered for an infotype.

Subtypes vary from one infotype to another, and they are not used with all infotypes.

The entry in the Infotype field determines the subtypes available for the field.

Procedure

Use this field to identify the subtype you wish to work with (if applicable). To do so either:

  • type in the appropriate 4-digit code, or
  • request a list of subtypes and make a selection by either:
    . pressing F4, or
    . clicking on the down arrow

If this field is not applicable, leave it blank.

Supplementary Documentation - SUBTYP 1001

Use

Use the From and To fields to confine an inquiry/report to certain Authority and Resource infotypes. This would be helpful if, for example, you are only interested in reviewing authorities. There are 3 ways you can complete this field:

  • Name a single subtype in the From field, for example, 1000. The report documents the specified subtype.
  • Name a range of subtypes in the From and To fields, for example, 1000 to 1002. The report documents all subtypes that fall within the specified range.
  • Name a list of subtypes, for example, 1000, 1002 to 1004, 1006 to 1007. To do so, click on the right direction arrow. A window appears which allows you to enter a list.
    NOTE: To include ALL subtypes in an inquiry/report, leave these fields blank.

Supplementary Documentation - SUBTYP 1002

Use

The Subtype field contains a 4-digit code that represents a subtype. A subtype allows you to categorize the Description you enter, for example, as a general description versus a unique or detailed one.

Procedure

In CREATE mode, use this field to identify the subtype you are developing. To do so either:

  • type in the appropriate 4-digit code, or
  • request a list of subtypes and make a selection by either:
    . pressing F4, or
    . clicking on the down arrow

In CHANGE and DISPLAY modes, the system automatically completes the field.

Supplementary Documentation - SUBTYP 1003

Definition

This field contains a code that represents a particular relationship that can exist between objects.

Use

In the Unrelated Objects report, use this field to focus the report on objects that have a specified relationship. For example, you may wish to obtain a list of objects that do not have a certain relationship, such as A003. If you enter A003 in this field, the system produces a list of all objects that do not have this relationship.

NOTE: If the report should instead show all objects that do have this relationship, click on the Display related objects check box.

To complete this field either:

  • type in the appropriate relationship code, or
  • request a list of relationship codes and make a selection by either:
    . pressing F4, or
    . clicking on the down arrow
    NOTE: If the report should list objects without any relationships, leave the field blank.

Supplementary Documentation - SUBTYP 1004

Definition

The Subtype field contains a code that represents a subtype. Subtypes allow you to categorize information entered for a particular infotype.

Subtypes vary from one infotype to another, and they are not used with all infotypes.

Use

Use this field to confine an inquiry/report to a specific subtype. To do so:

  • type in the appropriate subtype code, or
  • request a list of subtypes and make a selection by:
    . pressing F4, or
    . clicking on the down arrow
    NOTE: To report on all subtypes, leave the field blank.

Supplementary Documentation - SUBTYP 1009

Use

The Subtype field contains a code that represents a category of health examinations. The categories allow you to distinguish between different types of health examination, for example, between health exclusions and regularly required health exams. (Your enterprise may have other health exam categories.)

Procedure

In CREATE mode, use this field to select a category for the health examination information. To do so either:

  • type in the appropriate code, or
  • request a list of exam subtypes and make a selection by either:
    . pressing F4, or
    . clicking once on the down arrow

In CHANGE mode, enter a different code by typing over the existing code, or requesting a list using the methods outlined above.

Supplementary Documentation - SUBTYP 1010

Use

The Subtype field contains a code that represents one of the subtypes, authorities or resources.

The authorities subtype allows you to enter information regarding the authority a position has, for example, the maximum value of purchases a position can authorize.

The resources subtype allows you to identify any special equipment assigned to a position or workplace.

Procedure

In CREATE or CHANGE mode, use this field to identify the type of information you want to work with, authorities or resources. To do so either:

  • type in the appropriate code, or
  • request a list of subtype codes and make a selection by either:
    . pressing F4, or
    . clicking on the down arrow
