Logical View -CE Lines tab

This tab contains the elements that compose the current Logical View. These elements are an ordered sequence of Data Elements and possibly other lines such as Segments, Logical Views, and group Data Elements. You must indicate the characteristics and attributes of each called element.

The -CE lines tab is constituted of a table, buttons that are associated with the table, and definition sections that open when you insert or select a call line in the table. Some columns (Internal format on the call of defined Data Elements for example) are not editable because the values that they contain come from the editor of the called instance. Other columns (Occurs for example) can be entered directly in the table or in the sections that are dedicated to each call type.

Other columns (Subschemas for example) are editable from a wizard only. You open this wizard from the button that is included in the column or from the More button that is available in the Data Element call definition section.

The Comments column is displayed only in the table of the tab. It does not correspond to a field of the call line definition section. It contains an asterisk on the call lines that have been assigned -G lines. These secondary-level -G lines have been entered with the -G Lines button in the call line definition section. If you hover your cursor on the asterisk, the -G lines of the call line are displayed in a tooltip. If you click the button that is associated with the asterisk, the -G lines are displayed in their tabular editor, where you can modify them. You can also display and modify the -G lines from the Edit comments choice in the contextual menu of the call line.

-CE lines definition

The editable table can contain in the following calls:
The columns show the following information:
  • Name, Label, Format, and Usage. They were defined upon creation for the Data Elements and Segments called in the Logical View, but they must be specified in the Group definition section of the -CE Lines tab for group calls.
  • Occurs, Data type, and Data Element presence. They must be specified for all the elements that are called in the Logical View. You can enter them directly in their columns or in the corresponding fields of the sections that open when you insert or select them in the table.
  • The Subschemas, Transfer direction, Transfer operator, and Transfer area. They correspond to fields that must be entered in a wizard. To open this wizard, click More in the call line definition section or click the button that appears in the column.

When you add a Data Element group in the table, a tree structure is created to nest the Data Elements that you want to include in the group. Click + to expand and display the contents of the group.

All the table columns are displayed by default. To reduce the number of columns, right-click in the table and select Show columns > Select.

You can complete and reorganize the lines of the table by using the choices available in the contextual menu (Copy, Paste, Revert, Cancel).

You can also delete lines in the table with the Remove button or reorder the lines in the table by clicking the direction buttons. The table is minimized by default to display the Definition sections. Click Maximize to display only the table in a full screen.

Note: The possible actions with the buttons are also available in the contextual menu of the table.

Buttons

The following buttons are used to call and organize the elements in the table:

Add Data Element
Clicking this button opens a list of the available Data Elements. You can add a Data Element call directly in the table or under a Segment call, or a group. When a Data Element instance is selected, a new line corresponding to a new Data Element call is added to the table.
Add Segment call
Clicking this button opens a list of available Segments or Logical Views. You can select an instance in the list or create a Segment or Logical View that will be added to the list of Segments. Selecting an instance creates a line in the table.
Add group call
Clicking this button creates a line call in the table.
Remove
Clicking a line in the table and then this button, removes the selection from the table.
The ↑↓ buttons
Use these buttons to move a selected call line in the table.

Call line definition sections

Sections open when you insert or select a call line in the table. These sections contain fields in which you can select or enter the values. When you save, these values are automatically displayed in the table.
