Displaying specific levels of the Database Map

Accountants Enterprise in Australia only

You can display the Database Map at the:

Master level

When you are working in the Database Map, it is sometimes useful to be able to view the corresponding higher level item for a Database Map item. For example, if you are editing a Client level table, you may want to know which data fields are included in the Master level version of the same item. Using the Master level Database Map window you can quickly and easily view this information.

The Master level Database Map window is accessed by selecting the Show Master Database Map option on the right–click menu within the Database Map Explorer pane. Just select the Practice or Client level item you want to view the corresponding Master information for, then click the menu option.

The Master level Database Map window will be opened, with the Database Map tree displayed to show the location of the Master level item which corresponds with the selected Practice or Client level item.

If no corresponding Database Map item exists, the next available parent is selected in the Master level Database Map window. If no parent exists, the first Database Map item is selected.

You can also copy items from the Master level Database Map window by selecting the required item in the window then selecting Copy on the right–click menu. You can then paste this at the Client or Practice level (depending on the level at which you opened Report Designer) at the desired location of the Database Map tree in the Explorer pane.
