"What are conditions?"

Name

Use this field to enter a descriptive condition name. This name appears in condition lists, and on Discoverer worksheets.

Description

Type

• Mandatory conditions always apply to a folder. The Discoverer end user does not see the condition in Discoverer Plus and cannot turn it off.

• Optional conditions can be applied or not applied. This offers Discoverer end users the choice to turn the condition on or off in Discoverer Plus.

Identifier

A unique name that Discoverer uses to identify EUL and workbook objects. When matching objects common to different EULs, Discoverer uses identifiers to locate objects in different EULs that refer to the same business object. For more information, see Chapter 3, "What are identifiers?".

Warning: It is not advisable to change an identifier as it can affect the relationships between EUL objects.

The Dependents tab displays two columns:

Type

Displays one or more object types (e.g. folders, items) that have a dependency on the selected condition.

Name

Displays the name of each object listed in the Type column
