Action Diagram View Maintenance

Action Diagram view maintenance differs from view maintenance in one aspect—you work directly with views in an Action Diagram or action block without accessing view maintenance from the Detail action. You can add new views, delete views, if they are not used in action statements, copy views, and change details of group, entity, work, and attribute views being imported. You can also change the way the views display on the Action Diagram view list.

You can modify specific details about views directly in the Action Diagram view list. These details include the optionality of entity, work, and attribute views being imported; and the optionality, cardinality, and indexing of group views being imported. These details appear in parentheses next to view names when you expand the list.

Action Diagram view list information examples are as follows:

Example 1

This example illustrates an optional import entity view that supports entity actions, cannot be used for both import and export, and is unlocked upon entry:

entity input customer (optional, persistent, import only, unlocked)

Example 2

This example illustrates a repeating group view that is mandatory, has a maximum cardinality of 6, is explicitly indexed, and can be used for both import and export:

group (r) in_group product information (mandatory, 6, explicit, exported)

You can add views to the view lists in Action Diagrams and action blocks. Also, you can add new attributes or existing attributes to entity views and work views.
