PeopleSoft Learning

Related display in people soft is used to display the description/detail of the ID or codes. User has to enter the ID/code or search by description in the prompt page. If the user is familiar with Descrtiption rather than ID or code and user want to select based on that, then we can use Related edit field.

Related edits enable users to enter descriptive values instead of code values and enable prompting on those descriptive values. Changing the value in the control field updates the related edit field, and changing the value in the related edit field updates the value in the control field. If appropriate, the control field can be display-only or even invisible to hide code values from the user.

If user wants to search employee by name rather then EMPLID , then user can key in name and search instead of using the EMPLID.At design time, you set up a related edit field in the same way that you create a related display field, except that you clear the Display Only check box in the Field Use Options group box so that the field is active at runtime

Note:-
1) Edits, including any assigned PeopleCode, are run on the control field. PeopleCode is not run for the related edit field.
2) Edits, including any assigned PeopleCode, are run on the control field. PeopleCode is not run for the related edit field.
3) The related edit field must be an alternate key in the prompt table.
4) If the hidden control field that you select is a required field, PeopleSoft Pure Internet Architecture changes the related edit field into a required field as well.
