An "as-of date" window displays data from a table at a specific time in the past. You must select the Keep Change History? column for the table in the Tables tab or no data will be displayed in the "as-of date" window that you create with this procedure.
To create the window that will display the data in a table, use the following steps:
- Open the Tables window.
- Locate the table for which you will create a window.
- Right-click the record showing the table and select Make Window. The application displays a new window.
- For the first option (Main), click the drop-down arrow to display the list of types of windows and then click the "As-of Date" Window entry.
- Click Next. The application displays a second new window.
- In the second new window, modify the window title as desired.
- In the lower part of the dialog box, expand the menu hierarchy to locate the parent menu item under which the menu item to display the window will be placed.
- Right-click the parent menu item and select Add Branch. The application displays a new dialog box where you enter the name of the menu item.
- In the dialog box, in the New Menu ID field enter the internal ID for the menu item that will open the window. (This ID should be lower case and not contain spaces.) Also, in the New Menu Name field, enter the name of the menu item that will open the window.
- Click OK to close the dialog box. A new node is added subordinate to the parent menu item.
- Right-click the new node and select Select This. The system places a check mark in the square beside the menu name to denote that it is selected.
