Field Presentation Edit MQPB

This is the main screen which is used for creating and amending field presentations.

MDL Window

A Mapping Definition Language (MDL) window is displayed when the action Expand is requested for a selected presentation. All the usual facilities for inserting, deleting, and copying lines of text are available.

Most field presentations on any system will be a single line of text, containing the edit mask itself; only two or three are likely to have any of the optional presentation keywords.

See the MDL Home Page for complete details of the construction of edit masks, and a list of the optional operations available.
See Field Presentations for illustrative examples of edit masks and presentation options.

If not described in this topic, click on a field and press F1 to view help. See Common Fields for more information.

Fast prompt allows you to quickly view a list of options for certain fields.

NOTE Field visibility can be defined by your System Administrator, so not all fields documented may be shown.

See Using the Command Line on opening the screen without going through the menu.
