The -CE Lines tab is used to identify
the elements which compose the current Segment or Table. You can create
Data Element calls, Segment calls, undefined Data Elements, Data Element
groups for a Segment or a Table and add fillers for a Segment only.
The
-CE lines tab is constituted of
an editable table, buttons associated with the table and sections
which can be used to complete the information required for each element
added to the Segment. If you are familiar with the -CE of a Segment,
you can complete directly the columns of the table, otherwise you
can complete the fields in the definition sections which display when
you enter or select an element in the table.
- -CE lines definition
- An editable table is available to enter the element calls in a
Segment and the values associated with each element.
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 .
You can complete and reorganize the lines of
the table by using the choices available in the pop-up menu (Copy, Paste, Revert, Cancel).
You
can also delete lines in the table with the Remove button
or move them in the table by clicking one of the corresponding direction
buttons. The table is minimized by default, so you can see 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.
Navigating
in the table:
- When the focus is put in the table, you can move to the previous
or next line by pressing the up or down arrows,
- For each element added to a Segment, if you put the focus in a
line and press the Alt key or Right arrow key, you move to the next
editable cell in which you can enter values.
- Press the Left arrow key or Shift+Tab key to move to the previous
editable cell.
- Pressing the Enter key when the focus is in an editable cell lets
you toggle between the editable cells in the same column and keeps
you in the edition mode. To leave the edition mode, press the escape
key.
To edit a cell, you need to double-click or press F2,
then you can enter the appropriate values directly in the cell or
use a list box, check box or dialog box when available to select a
value. The input mode in a column cell depends on the type of element
entered in the table. In the Name column cell
of a Segment or Data Element, you can use a dialog box to select a
Segment/Logical View or a Data Element, but for a group, you need
to enter its name.
- Definition sections
- Definition sections open up, depending
on the Element selected in the list:
- The Data Element call section opens up if
you add or select a Data Element.
- The Filler Definition section opens up if
you add or select a filler.
- The Group Definition section opens up if
you add or select a group.
- The Segment call section opens up if you
add or select a Segment.
- The Undefined Data Element section opens
up if you add or select an undefined Data Element.
- The Set of Redefines section opens up if
you add or select a set of redefined elements.
If you are not familiar with the contents of the -CE in a
Segment, it will be easier for you to complete the fields of each
section corresponding to the element added to the table. Each value
entered in a field is displayed automatically in the column cells
of the table.
