Qualifier Entry Panel

The Qualifiers Entry panel is used to define the range of a qualifier.

Note: You can create global qualifiers by specifying an ORD Type of ALL. This means for those conditions you select, you only have to define the qualifier once, rather than defining it over and over for each ORD type. This is very efficient when defining qualifiers for conditions such as SHIFT.

Note: The first time this panel appears, you are in insert mode; no lines appear under the Cmd column, the scroll bar does not show a row count, and the only active panel function keys are F2, F5, and F11. When you press F5 (Save), a message appears telling you the insert is successful. At this point, you are in update mode. The panel scroll bar provides a row count, the Cmd column is active (lines appear under the column) and all panel function keys are active. Pressing F5 (Save) displays a message stating the update was successful.

On the next page is a description of the Qualifier Entry panel.
