The target criteria dictionary is designed to deliver a more intuitive and ergonomic presentation of the X3 tables.

It is possible to modify field characteristics for each table in the dictionary in the following manner:

  • It is possible to mask some fields either because they only have a technical justification or that their use is marginal.
  • It is possible to modify their name in order to improve the understanding of their meaning and use in the table.
  • Finally it is possible to modify their classification. This is used to obtain at the start of the list the most used fields while the remaining fields remain available later in the list.

All the alterations carried out on a table appreciably improve the ergonomics of the target definitions.

To recover the standard target criteria, it is necessary to launch a regeneration of the target criteria.

Table code

This mandatory field is to be assigned in the first place either to load an existing alteration description or to trigger the creation of a new alteration. This field must contain the code for a table in the X3 table dictionary. The user is aided in their search for a table code by an associated selection list.

Once a new valid table code is entered, the system loads a default standard alteration description. This automatic description corresponds exactly to the description in the X3 table dictionary. All the criteria are active by default. However, contrary to the table dictionary, the criteria are classified in alphabetic order by default.

This automatic loading gives the assurance of the availability of all the fields comprising the table whether they are standard or specific/custom.

Category

It is possible to enter a target criteria category among the values in the miscellaneous table 452: Target criterion categories. A target criterion category can be initialized by default as a function of the value of the general or user setup AUSCRMI.

In this case where the standard denomination of a table is not considered comprehensive, this field is used to enter a clearer and more appropriate denomination: The user has available fifty characters to do this.

Tab Active criteria

This tab groups all the fields in the table that can be used as target criteria.
