Bookshelf v7.8: Active Value

The Active Value and the Active Field user properties together determine whether a record is active. An active record can be updated. A record that is not active cannot be updated.

For a given business component, the Active Field user property specifies the field on the business component that is the active flag. The Active Value user property specifies how to interpret the value of the flag.


Value	Y or N. To use the Active Value user property, you must also set the Active Field user property on the business component to specify the field that contains the active flag. If the Active Value user property is also defined and its value is Y, or if the Active Value user property is not defined, then a record is active if the value of its active flag is Y. If the value of the Active Value user property is N, then a record is active if the value of its active flag is N. For example, the value of the Active Field user property on the Quote business component is Active. The Active Value user property is not defined on Quote. Thus a record is active only if its Active field value is Y. Alternatively, the default value of the Active Field user property on the Fund business component is Locked Flag. The value of its Active Value user property is N. Thus a record is active only if its Locked Flag field value is N—that is, when it is unlocked.
Usage	You can inactivate this user property or modify its values. You cannot create more than one instance of this user property for a business component.
