Define binds for wizards. See Defining Binds for Wizards Using the Bind Definition Page |
Use the Bind Definition page (CS_BIND_DEFINITION) to define wizard binds.
Navigation:
You use the Bind Definitions page to create bind variables for a wizard. Bind types can be Transactional or Wizard. The system maps transactional bind variable values to the fields in the purchasing contract or purchase order transaction. When you select a bind type of Wizard, the system makes the bind available for use in wizards. The binds will, in turn, either populate content on the resulting document or be used for determining the applicability of rules that drive clause or section inclusion in the document. You cannot interchange the use of transactional and wizard binds because the wizard can only store responses in wizard bind variables. The system provides several additional field types for wizard binds.
A question group in a wizard is required to have at least one defined bind variable field. Binds for use in the wizard are stored in the CS_BIND record with a CS_BIND_TYPE of Wizard=3.
The system provides these wizard binds:
Check box binds enable you to set up multiple yes/no choices for answers to wizard questions.
Date binds enable you to use the date as a bind field.
You can also select a format for the date.
Date/time binds enable you to use the date and time as a bind field.
Decimal binds enable decimal entries for the bind field.
You can use up to eight decimal places.
Integer binds enable you to use numeric values in the bind field.
The maximum length for an integer is 23.
Prompt table binds enable you to specify a predefined table that you can assign to a specific bind.
String binds enable the use of a string of data.
The length of text string depends on a predefined field length. Lengths can limit characters up to 2, 5, 12, 30, and 254 and a long character. You can also use masked values with string binds with 30 or less characters.
Yes/no binds enable the use of yes or no answers in the bind field.
