	<HelpTopic><AimSection><Paragraph>Use this session to list the fields for which the object masks are defined for each <Link href="/baanerp/dm/glossary/glossary#000063" role="glossary">object</Link>.</Paragraph>
		</AimSection>
		<GeneralSection><Paragraph>Masks are associated with object fields through mask codes. If more than one mask code is associated with a field, SSA ERP determines the mask to be used in each situation. Example, two mask codes are associated with the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Document Revision</GUIRef> field. One mask code identifies the mask for the temporary revision, and the other mask code identifies the mask for the permanent revision.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>In this session, you can select an entry to edit the object-mask properties, and view or define a default mask for the field.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>Click <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Mask Configuration</GUIRef> on the <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Specific</GUIRef> menu to maintain and define mask configurations. You can define mask configurations in the <Link href="/baanerp/dm/com/dmcom0520m000" role="session">Mask Configuration (dmcom0520m000)</Link> session.</Paragraph>
