Object Masks (dmcom0522m000)

Use this session to list the fields for which the object masks are defined for each object.

Masks are associated with object fields through mask codes. If more than one mask code is associated with a field, LN determines the mask to be used in each situation. Example, two mask codes are associated with the Document Revision field. One mask code identifies the mask for the temporary revision, and the other mask code identifies the mask for the permanent revision.

In this session, you can select an entry to edit the object-mask properties, and view or define a default mask for the field.

Click Mask Configuration on the Specific menu to maintain and define mask configurations. You can define mask configurations in the Mask Configuration (dmcom0520m000) session.

Object Description: The object name that describes the object identifier.
Mask Code: The mask code, which is a descriptive title for the object mask.
Description: The description of the object mask code.
Attribute: The object-attribute of the main table of the object for which the object mask is used. Click the browse arrow to select the attribute from the Table Fields (ttadv4529m000) session.
Active: If this check box is selected, the specific object mask is activated. The active mass is used to generate value for new instance of the object.

Note: You can define multiple masks for an object. If no mask is defined as active, by default, LN picks up the first defined mask to generate values.
