Associated Descriptions
You can add a description to the level break header to make the information more meaningful to the report reader. When you associate a description with a level break field, the system displays the description for the level break field currently in memory. For example, the search type value of E has a description of Employees associated with it. When the level break header is processed, this description prints along with the search type value in the level break header.
Although associated descriptions are used most often in level break headers, you can also associate descriptions in level break footers and detail sections. If a level break footer or detail section includes the search type field, you can associate a description with this field to include the description of the value. In columnar sections, the description becomes the next column following the value field, such as the search type column.
Not every data field has a description associated with it. A business function trigger must be attached to the data item. In data dictionary, you can review the Edit Rule tab of a data item to determine whether it includes a business function trigger. Some examples of data items with business function triggers are:
Address Number
Business Unit
Company
Search Type
