Selecting Scope Fields

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the PeopleSoft nVision Scope Field dialog box.

For each field that you add to a scope, you specify the source of the field values and the values to use. This process is similar to defining field criteria in a matrix layout.

Each of the options in the PeopleSoft nVision Scope Field dialog box selects a different set of these values for building your scope:

• Tree Node (Summary) Instances: Selected Tree Nodes, Children at a Level, All Nodes at Selected Levels.

• Used with Summary Ledgers only: Selected Summary ChartField Nodes.

• Detail Value (Detail) Instances: Detail of Selected Parents, Selected Detail Values, All Detail Values.

Field or Control	Description
Field	Enter a field to add to your scope.
Selected Tree Nodes	Select this option to create an instance for each tree node that you select. When you type the field name, you are prompted to enter a tree name and level.
Children at a Level	Select this option to create an instance for each tree node at a specified tree level that is a child of the parent node. The parent nodes need not be the immediate parent of nodes at the specified level. When you type the field name, you are prompted to specify a tree name and level.
All Nodes at Selected Levels	Select this option to create an instance for every node at each selected level. When you type the field name, you are prompted to specify a tree name and level.
Selected Summary ChartField Nodes	Select this option to create an instance for every specified node in a tree used to create a summary ledger. (This option applies only to users of PeopleSoft General Ledger.) You should use summary trees rather than the summary ChartField nodes. When detail values are summarized into tree nodes, you must use a different ChartField in the summary ledger data record to accommodate the maximum length of a node name (20 characters). When you type a field name, you are prompted to specify a tree name and level.
Detail of Selected Parents	Select this option to create an instance for each detail value associated with the specified tree nodes.
Selected Detail Values	Select this option to create an instance for each detail value that you specify. This option activates the Value Table field, where you can specify the table that contains the values that you want to select.
All Detail Values	Select this option to create an instance for all detail values. This option activates the Value Table field, where you can specify the table that contains the values that you want to use.
Effective Date	Enter a date to determine the trees you can select from.
BU Keyed Tree	Select this option to limit tree selection to trees keyed by the business unit entered on the PeopleSoft nVision Scope Definition dialog box.
Tree Name	Select the required tree for your scope. The list is filtered based on the setID or business unit, and field entered.
