Multi-occurrence with edit facility
n
Session Name
Because a UI must be consistent, the word maintain may not be part of the session
description.
Consequently, the description of a multi-occurrence session with an edit facility is
identical to the table upon which it acts.
n
Session Form
As stated earlier, a multi-occurrence session with edit facility can have no more than a
single, 80-position form containing all fields.
Multi-occurrence display
3.3
n
Session Name
Because a UI must have a consistent presentation, the word display cannot be part of the
session description. For historic data, the session description will become for example
Sales Order History. For other listings, the session description will be for example Cost
Price Summary.
n
Session Form
A multi-occurrence display session can contain multiple forms of up to 132 positions. In
essence, the session consists of a series of sheets with a grid. The grids are only filled with
data when the sheet is active, resulting in better performance.
Single-occurrence sessions
In a single-occurrence session, the data of a single record is shown.
3.3.1
Usage
A single-occurrence session can be used to:
n
Edit (modify, insert) a record. This is always done in synchronization with a multioccurrence session.
n
Display a record. This is always done in synchronization with a multi-occurrence session.
n
Edit parameters.
The single-occurrence edit session is the standard for BAAN V.
Single-occurrence with edit facility
This type of single-occurrence session is mainly used in synchronization with a multioccurrence display session.
If a record has more fields than fit on an 80-positions multi-occurrence form, editing and
displaying of all record data is done in a single-occurrence session.
Single-occurrence display
Once in history, data can no longer be maintained. If a multi-occurrence display session is not
feasible, the object action model can be implemented, featuring a single-occurrence display
session.
