| Customer defined fields (CE)You
can use the Customer Defined Fields (CDF) sessions in LN to store additional
information in tables without creating so-called customizations. These sessions
are available in the Tools menu, under Application Configuration. Limitations - You cannot define customer defined fields for tables within the
tl and tt Tools packages.
- External integrations, such as Infor Integration,
EDI, Office Integration, and SOA-based integration, do not support customer
defined fields.
- There is no direct limitation on the number of CDFs in a table.
However, the actual number of fields in a table and the total length of all
fields may be limited by the RDBMS you use.
- Only super users can run the Convert to Runtime Data Dictionary (ttadv5215m000) session to convert the customer
defined fields and the related domains to the runtime data
dictionary.
Personalization A session can contain two types of customer defined
fields: - Customer defined fields of the main table. These are regular
customer defined fields. If set to active, these fields are initially visible
in the session. See Champs définis par le client (ttadv4591m000).
- Referenced customer defined fields. These are active customer
defined fields that belong to a table that is referenced by the main table of
the session. Referenced customer defined fields are initially invisible in the
session.
A referenced customer defined field is linked to a session if
its table is referenced through: - A table definition (so-called hard-reference)
- A reference specified in the form definition, in particular in
the Input/Ref Express property of a form
field
- A
query.extend.select() call in the UI script of the session
If a session contains customer defined fields, you can perform
these actions: - Hide/unhide these fields.
- Move these fields to a different location, such as a different
tab.
