Sessions with sub sessions

Some sessions have sub sessions running in tabs. Each sub session has its own toolbar. A sub session can also have its own tabs. For example, the Sales Order (tdsls4100m900) session has various sub sessions, such as Order Lines, Invoice Lines, and Back Orders.

If you start the export from a main session, only data from that main session is exported. For example, if you start the export from the Sales Order (tdsls4100m900) session, data in the sub sessions running in the tabs is not exported.

If you start the export from a sub session, data is exported from that sub session and from the main session. If you select Current Tab, data is exported from the main session and from the current tab in the sub session. If you select All Tabs, data is exported from the main session and from all tabs in the sub session. Data in the other sub sessions is not exported.

Example

  • The Back Orders sub session in the Sales Order (tdsls4100m900) session contains the Back Order and Order tabs.
  • You start the export from the Order tab and you select Current Tab. Data is exported from the main session and from the Order tab.
  • You start the export from the Order tab and you select All Tabs. Data is exported from the main session and from the Back Order and Order tabs.
