4.7.4.1.6.  Columns to be displayed - plinkgroups.cfg -> Block [Role_name] -> Key "VARSUSED / VARSHIDDEN"

[Note]Note

The setting is role-dependent. You can therefore configure the column display differently for each role if required.

The setting affects PARTdataManager.

Columns to be displayed

Setting in the configuration file $CADENAS_SETUP/plinkgroups.cfg:

Block [<variable name>], key VARSUSED

Enter all columns to be displayed as value in the form of a comma separated list.

[Note]Note

The here defined order of the columns is exactly according to the column order in PARTdataManager and thus role-oriented.

Example:

[Role_name]
VARSUSED=ERP_PDM_NUMBER,MAT_NAME,ACTIVE_STATE,REQUESTED_STATE
VARSHIDDEN=REQUESTED_STATE

Setting in PARTadmin -> Category Roles -> Tab General -> Columns to be displayed

Columns not to be displayed

Columns not to be displayed [Columns to hide] are also to be listed separated by commas.

[Note]Note

This setting has to be used, if values from columns shall be exported or column names are used in any conditions, but the columns shall not be displayed.

Example:

Configuration file:

You have entered the following export condition [Export condition]:

EXPORTRESTRICTION=((ERP_PDM_NUMBER.NE.'').AND.(ACTIVE_STATE.EQ.1))

But you do not want to display the "ACTIVE_STATE" column.

[Role_name]
VARSUSED=ERP_PDM_NUMBER,MAT_NAME,ACTIVE_STATE
VARSHIDDEN=ACTIVE_STATE

I.e., only parts, which have an ERP_PDM_NUMBER and furthermore which "Active status" is set on "Released" are allowed to be exported.

"ACTIVE_STATE" must be entered both under Columns to be displayed and Columns not to be displayed [Columns to hide]. If the "ACTIVE_STATE" declaration were omitted, the export would not work.
