Understanding Using Standard ChartField Configuration

The following configuration actions can be performed using the standard configuration:

• Change the display order of ChartFields on pages and reports.

• Relabel long and short names (descriptions) of ChartFields.

• Inactivate or activate ChartFields.

• Change the display length of ChartFields on pages and reports.

• Change Related ChartFields for IntraUnit Affiliate ChartFields.

Inactivated ChartFields are not displayed on pages, reports, or prompt lists and are not included in indexes. While not displayed, they are not removed form records or pages. This significantly reduces configuration time and effort.

After a standard configuration, no additional manual database changes are required other than rebuilding indexes, recreating views, and updating nVIsion reports.

Note:

Oracle recommends that, if possible, the standard configuration be used exclusively, because it minimizes the need to reapply ChartField configuration actions when you subsequently upgrade or apply application fixes.
