MMT Sessions

A multi-main table session shows multiple tables and allows you to perform maintenance commands on the main entity and the child tables. Hence, the term “multi-main table”.

A multi-main table session shows detailed information for a main entity. Additional tabs are available that show related tables to the entity.

Example

Customer service representatives use the Sales Order - Lines (tdsls4100m900) session to enter, display and process sales orders. When the representative opens an order:

  • The order header is displayed
  • The order lines are displayed
  • Other information that is related to the sales order number is displayed on additional tabs.

You can identify a multi-main table session from the two tool bars: the first toolbar is associated with the sales order header, and the lower toolbar is associated with sales order lines, deliveries and so on. You can create or edit an order or an order line.

Structure

The appearance of the multi-main table session is determined by:

  • The multi-main table controller session is a maintain session for the main entity. The form of this session determines the top portion of the session.
  • In addition to the standard tool bars for maintenance of the main entity, an addition icon is provided. The details icon will open a details session for the main entity. This session is the synchronized dialog for the controller session.
  • Satellite sessions are displayed as tabs. The form of the satellite session determines the fields that are displayed in the session. A satellite session can have multiple tabs within the session.
  • The title of the tab is the session name of the satellite session.
  • The “label of object” field shows in the Lines menu and other menus.
