The -CE Lines tab contains a table
of the elements which compose the current Logical View. If no element
has ever been assigned to the Logical view, this table is empty.
If it is not, you can see an ordered sequence of Data Elements and
possibly other lines such as Segments, Logical Views and groups of
Data Elements. Moreover, in this tab you must indicate for each element
called in the Logical View, its characteristics and the Logical View
attributes.
The -CE lines tab consists of an
editable table, action buttons to add or remove elements in the table,
and sections highlighted when you click or add a call line in the
table. In these sections, you can give information about the element
called and the Logical View attributes or they can be completed directly
in the column cells of the table.
