Specifying index and view field settings

  1. On the Overview tab of the Session Editor, select the session's indices for which you want to implement dynamic index switching.
  2. For every index check box you select, specify the order the indices are displayed on the session's Sort by submenu and indicate the index fields that must be displayed as view fields.
    1. In the Table Indices and View fields field, determine the order the indices are displayed on the session's Sort by submenu. To do this, use the Up and Down buttons to rearrange the sequence of indices. The first entry in the list is the session's default index.
    2. In the Table Indices and View fields field, indicate which index fields must be displayed as view fields above the overview session's grid. To do this, select the check boxes for the desired index fields. When you select a particular index field as view field, the preceding index fields are displayed as view fields.
      Note: The Field Properties dialog box of the Session Editor's Form Definition tab contains the View Field check box. If this check box is selected for a field, the field is always displayed as a view field in the overview session, regardless of your Dynamic Index Switching settings. If you want a field to be excluded as a view field for certain indices, clear the View Field check box for that field in the Field Properties dialog box of the Session Editor's Form Definition tab.
