Lookup Behavior Properties View Value/Name Tab

Use the Lookup Behavior Properties View Value/Name tab to specify the value that the OSM server should use for a data node, and to create multiple columns to display in the web client.

Note:

You can convert a label to a value by selecting the Set as Value check box. When you do this, the previous value automatically becomes a label.

Field Use

Set as Value

If you have multiple columns defined in the Value Name table, select the column whose value you want the OSM server to use for the data node, and click Set as Value. This value will be stored in the order.

For example, if you have two columns, a code column and description column, you might elect to have the user make a selection based on the description field, but identify the code column as the value that the OSM server should use to update the task.

Only one column in a lookup behavior can be used for Set as Value. Use the Hidden field to determine whether the column used as Set as Value is also used as a display column.

Name

Enter a name for the lookup value result.

Hidden

Specify whether the column is displayed or not. By default, the column is displayed.

If more than one column is displayed, the value displayed in the field will be the value in the first visible column.

Position

Define the column's position in the lookup result.

Sort Direction

Specify how the column is sorted. Indicate either Ascending or Descending.

Sort Order

Determine how the column is used to sort the lookup. For example, if this value is 1, it is the primary sort key.

Selection Severity

Select how open the field is to users entering data that is not on the list of values defined in the lookup. Valid values are:

  • VALID: A value that is not on the list is valid.

  • WARNING: A value that is not on the list generates a warning but can be saved to the order and the task transitioned.

  • ERROR: A value that is not on the list generates an error but can be saved to the order. The task cannot be transitioned until the value that is not on the lookup list is removed.

  • CRITICAL: (default) A value that is not on the list generates an error and cannot be saved to the order. The task cannot be transitioned until the value that is not on the lookup list is removed.

Node

(Mandatory) Enter an XPath expression to define the relative path to the node in the nodeset.

Language

Select the display language.

Description

Enter a brief description of the layout.
