Questions (ttadv4161s000)

Use this session to maintain the questions that Tools can display to the users. Questions are used to ask situation-dependent questions to which the user must respond.

At runtime, the questions are displayed in the language that is specified for the current user.

Question codes can be used in program script and can be linked to domains, tables, table fields, form fields, and so on.

Note

You can only maintain questions within your current package VRC.

 

Language

The language of the question. At runtime questions are given in the language of the current user.

Package

The package in which the question is defined.

VRC

The version of the package for which the question is defined.

VRC

The release of the package for which the question is defined.

VRC

The customer extension of the package for which the question is defined. The customer extension is only relevant for customized software.

Question Code

The identification code of the question. A question is uniquely identified by the combination of package code and question code.

Question

The question text as it is shown when activated.

The question text can contain codes that are substituted when the question is displayed.

Example

  • %1$s: substitution of a string
  • %1$d: substitution of a digit
  • %1$e: substitution of an exponent

For details on substitution symbols, refer to the description of the sprintf$ function in the Infor ES Programmers Guide (Infor Support Portal KB 22924522).

Domain

The package code of the domain defined for the question.

The domain is used to enable the user to answer the question.

Domain

The domain belonging to the question. The domain determines the possible answers to the question.

Allowed values

The domain must have the data type Enumerated.

Example

Often only the answers Yes and No are possible. The question is displayed with a Yes button and a No button. In that case the domain consists of the enumerate constants Yes and No.

Default Answer

The default answer to the question.

Allowed values

The default answer must be one of the enumerate constants belonging to the specified domain.

Expired

If this check box is selected, the question is expired for this package VRC and for package VRCs derived from this one.

An expired question cannot be used.
