Work with note types (GDMD11201)

This program is used to view and modify the various Note types that you wish to make use of. Notes are used in sales, service, purchase, work and manufacturing order programmes and are used to add notations (or “messages”) to these.

Options

DisplaySelect this option to view a record.

Translate Select this option to translate the record. You will be able to translate the key values of this record into another language.

Selection fields

The selection fields on this panel can be used separately or in combination with each other. If several fields exist on your panel, then the first field is always a positioning field.

The following selection types exist in tables, enquiries and files:

  • Positioning
    Used to display the sequential list, starting with the character or value that you have entered.

    If only one positioning field exists on your panel, then it can be used in two ways. If you enter part of the value/code, the field will function as a positioning field. If you enter a complete value/code, the field will function as a direct access to that record.

    Note: 'Work with' programs never give you a direct access.

  • Exact match
    Used to narrow down the number of records in a list. Only records that are equal to the value you have entered will be displayed.

  • Search
    Used to find a specific record in a list. Enter a search argument consisting of one or several characters. All records that hold the search argument that you have entered will be displayed.

    Note: This selection type is primarily used for description-related fields (free text fields combining upper and lower case letters).
