Creating an MVG
You can use the MVG Wizard to create the objects necessary for MVGs. Based on the information you enter, the Wizard creates the following objects that are necessary to implement the MVG:
- Multi Value Link
- Multi Value Field
- Multi Value Group Applet, if necessary
To configure a multi value field using the MVG Wizard
- Choose File > New Object.
The New Object Wizards dialog box appears.
- Under the General tab, click the MVG icon and then click OK.
The Multi Value Group wizard appears.
- In the Multi Value Group dialog box, enter the following and then click Next:
- In the second Multi Value Group dialog box, enter the following and then click Next:
- In the Direct Links dialog box, select the Opportunity/Contact link and then click Next.
This dialog box displays all links that describe a master-detail relationship between the business components defined in Step 3 and Step 4.
- In the Primary ID dialog box, leave all options unselected.
NOTE: Although this procedure does not cover implementing primaries, doing so can have performance benefits by reducing the number of SQL queries that are executed to populate the MVG for each record.
- In the Multi Value Link dialog box, accept the default for Multi Value Link properties; leave all the check boxes unselected.
- In the Multi Value Field dialog box, use the drop-down list to select a field from the detail business component to use to create the multi value field in the master business component.
- From the drop-down list, select the Last Name field.
- Use the default value of NREC Contact Last Name for the Multi Value Field Name.
- Click Add and then Click Next.
- In the Finish dialog box, review the information you entered and then click Finish.
The Multi Value Group Wizard uses the information you entered to create the necessary objects for a multi value group. It also searches the repository for an existing multi value group applet that can be used to display the data in the user interface. If a suitable applet is not found, the MVG Applet Wizard opens allowing you to define one.
In the current example, the Contacts MVG Applet already exists, so the MVG Applet wizard does not open.
