Header and satellites

A parent-child MMT session is an integration of multiple sessions into one single session. It consists of the following:

• A header session: This is the upper part of the MMT session window. It contains information and functionality about the parent, such as the Service Order, see the previous figure. The header is a single occurrence session.
• One or more satellites, displayed as tabs, containing data and functionality for the various types of children, such as for the activities, estimated materials and labor. Each satellite is a separate session linked to the MMT header session. All satellites are multi occurrence sessions.

The header and satellites can also run stand-alone.

This diagram shows the structure of an MMT session:

The header and lines in an MMT session are automatically synchronized. When you select a particular record in the header area, the corresponding lines are automatically displayed in the satellites. There is no synchronization between the satellites themselves.

A satellite tab only contains a grid. Additional fields outside the grid, such as view fields, are only displayed when the satellite runs stand-alone.
