Target Design
Create Field Groups
Field groups are filters used to create subsets of data in a Target field. Rules, requirement settings, criticality levels and other settings can then be applied to these subsets of data.
The default field group (*) is automatically created for all Targets. This field group designates the default action and specifies that the rule applies to the entire Target and is not dependent on a subset of data.
For example, to filter on finished goods for SAP, FILTER TABLE = MARA, FIELD FIELD = MTART and FILTER VALUE = FERT.
Once a field group has been added, assign it to an object so that it can be applied to the fields in the Targets in that object. Refer to Assign a Field Group to an Object for more information.
NOTE: The default field group (*) cannot be edited or deleted.
To create a field group in Target Design:
- Select Configuration > Field Groups in the Navigation pane.
-
Click Add.
-
Enter a field group name in the NAME field.
NOTE: Naming each field group after the filter value it is based on is a good practice.
- Enter a brief description of the filter value in the DESCRIPTION field.
- Enter the table that contains the filter value in the FILTER TABLE field.
- Enter the field that contains the filter value in the FILTER FIELD field.
-
Enter the value to filter on in the FILTER VALUE field.
NOTE: Enter an offset value used to run the filter updates prior to running the default field group (*) rule to an update field in the RULE PRIORITY OFFSET field. Refer to Set Rule Priority for Fields in Field Groups for more information.
- Click Save.
