1.2.2 Possible Operations in Screen Child
This topic briefs the important considerations to be made when designing a Screen Child screen.
- Existing elements cannot be deleted.
- New blocks or block fields cannot be added.
- Only certain properties of the fields in the block can be modified.
- Properties of screens and fieldsets can be modified.
- New screens and fieldsets can be added.
- Tabs, sections, and partitions can be added to the existing screens.
- Web Service and operation can be configured for the screen child, but amendable fields cannot be modified.
- Field Label
- Field Size
- Maximum Decimals
- Default Value
- Preview Value
- Visible
- Read Only
- Calendar Text
- Popup Edit Required
- Uppercase Only
- Input by LOV only
- Not Required in XSD
Screen level modification can be done according to the requirement. Most of the properties at the screen level can be modified. Fieldset level modification also can be done as per requirement. The block to which the field set is attached cannot be changed at Screen Child for existing fieldsets. However, all properties can be modified for new fieldsets.
If parent screen enhancements are happening parallel to Screen Child design, developer can use the Screen Child refresh option to upgrade the latest parent changes to the Screen Child.
