Assign PF Keys/Commands and Display Them on Screens

Assigning commands to function keys expedites invoking commands. The PF Key Definitions pop-up window lists the function keys. By selecting a function key and Props, you display the list of commands defined in Business System Defaults. Commands that you select when setting system defaults apply to all procedure steps in the business system. When you add a command using the Dialog Design tool, its type is Local, which means that is in effect only for the particular procedure step. The Key Properties pop-up window lets you choose whether to display the key assignment on the PF Key line.

The function key commands set in System Defaults are defined as either Standard or Default. In a procedure step you can override default commands, but you cannot override standard commands.
