Views
- View window allows you to create dynamic views of information from the dictionary application, These views can be based on tables and views of the dictionary application.
- In the tab "View Joins' you can add each table and its alias for this view, to define a parent table do not put any value in "Phrase Join "to join several tables you must use the correct SQL sentence for example:
INNER JOIN M_Product p ON (p.M_Product_ID = ol.M_Product_ID).
- You can use the "Validate Column" button to generate view´s columns based on information from the application dictionary
Smart Browse
- Smart Browse creates a quick way to generate a view of information for end users easily and quickly based on a view.
- You can define for each field will be displayed as the reference , system element , also you can define if the field is used as query criteria and if this is a range of information.
- The tab field sequence allows you to define fields that will be displayed in Smart Browser and the order they are displayed, you can easily include or exclude

- Smart Browser displays the final result set in a Smart Browse, you can view the resulting information as well as the search criteria you defined.
- if a process was linked to the Smart Browse the parameters of this process are displayed in the Smart Browser, when you press the OK button, the process is executed.
