Logical View -CE Lines tab

This tab contains the elements that constitute the 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 an editable table, buttons that are associated with the table, and call 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 can be entered directly in the table, in the call definition sections, or in a wizard.

The Comments column is displayed in the table only. 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 were 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:
  • Data Elements Data Element.
  • Segments Segment or Logical Views Logical View.
  • Groups Group. They are sets of Data Elements. Each group is identified by a name.
The columns contain the following information:
  • Name, Label, Format, and Usage. They were defined when the Data Elements and Segments called in the Logical View were created. When you call a group, you must enter its Name and Label directly in the table or in the group call definition section.
  • Occurs, Data type, and Data Element presence. They must be specified for all the elements that are called in the Logical View. From the table columns, you can enter the value of Occurs or select the values of Data type and Data Element presence in the drop-down lists. These actions are also possible from the call definition sections.
  • Subschemas, Transfer direction, Transfer operator, and Transfer area. They correspond to the selection of subschemas and to the data transfer information. From the table columns, you can enter the value of the Transfer area with the help of the content assist if necessary, or select the values of the Transfer direction and Transfer operator in the drop-down lists. However, if you need to declare more than one Transfer direction for a Data Element call, you must use a wizard to declare the second Transfer direction. You open this wizard by clicking the button that appears in the column or by clicking More in the call line definition section.

    You must select the Subschemas in the wizard. In this wizard, you can also indicate the data transfer information (Transfer direction, Transfer operator, and Transfer area).

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.
