Topic overview

The Cockpit: Item characteristic assignments application is primarily used to query the assignments of items to item characteristics via their basic information, such as item identification and item characteristic classification. This application provides you with an overview of the recorded item characteristic assignments.

For a general description of all cockpit applications, including information on the usual handling of the query and work panes, see the Cockpits article. For information on customizing, business entities, and authorizations, see the Item characteristic assignments article, which describes the application. The following article, in turn, discusses topics that apply specifically to the Cockpit: Item characteristic assignments application.

Application description

You can use the Cockpit: Item characteristic assignments query application to obtain an overview of all or selected items and their assignments to item characteristics.

The application consists of a query pane and a work pane.

Query pane

The query pane is used to store query fields. As a rule, the most important query fields are already provided. However, the number of query fields and their placement can vary.

The query pane is saved per view. You can determine which query fields are displayed. To do this, select the desired query fields from a list of fields.  Usually you can find a full description of the query fields in the What’s this help.

For a general description of query fields, see the Cockpits article.

Further information can be found in the Item characteristic assignments article.

Detail searches

Furthermore, a detailed search can be used in addition to the main search with query fields in the query pane. Detail searches can be combined with the main search so that both the search criteria from the query pane and the search criteria of the detailed search can be analyzed as AND link. To combine them, a checkbox is available in the grouping line of the detailed search. In order to display corresponding results in the work pane, as well, a button is available carrying the name of the detail search. If this button is activated, another heading line will appear in the work pane, including relevant detailed information.

The following detail searches are available:

• Item characteristics
• Configuration characteristics

Work pane

A table is available in the work pane in which the queried item characteristic assignments are displayed. You can determine yourself which information is displayed for an assignment. Several views can be created in order to view an item characteristic assignment in different ways with different information.

If you have also activated a detail search button, the table contains an additional heading line and detailed information.

For a general description of the work pane, see the Cockpits article.
