ElementSelection

This Navaction offers the possibility of a filter selection in the status bar. This allows predefining a filter selection and masks with a FKT_GetRecord function in "SpecialDefinition" if the general mask settings open with this filter setting.
In the following example the filter "Products" is shown in the status bar. This setting will be used in an input mask and the product filter is set to this selection.

Framework, Filter in status bar

A click opens the filter selection.

The macro "" requires following entry:br>

Produkte:=lastselected;Macro:=closeWindow_mkr

Following parameters are available:

Products:=lastselected;PC/KST:=@MyDefaultPC@;Types of Revenues:=2;Macro:=closeWindow_mkr

Parameter	Description
Products:=lastselected;	The latest selected element of the dimension "Products" will be shown.
PC/KST:=@MyDefaultPC@;	The element, stored in the session variable "@MyDefaultPC@" of the dimension "PC/KST" will be shown.
Types of Revenues:=2;	The element with the COPSYS_IS 2 of the dimension "Types of revenues" will be shown.
Macro:=closeWindow_mkr	This macro will be executed if the filter in the status bar changed.

The selected element of the parameter "lastselected" will be written in the table tb_SessionParameters. The macro "closeWindow_mkr" will be executed after a changing of the filter in the status bar and all windows will be closed.

Framework, Table"tb_SessionParameters"

Requirement: The system table tb_SessionParameters has to be available (please ask your consultant).

In the input mask you have to create following entry in "SpecialDefinition" of the general settings.

FKT_GetRecord(tb_SessionParameters.Value, COP_SESSION_ID != @Session_ID@, Name != 'Products')

Important: If you use the filter in one of the mask you have to mark it as read-only.
