| To specify indices for a session |  |
| Indices allow users to use the defined indices for a table within the session. From a user interface perspective, indices help users sort and categorize groups of records within a table. Users change the index using the Sort by option in a session's View menu. Example- Indices for the Item Table The Item table has 2 indices: Item and Item Group. When these indices are active for the session, the user is able to sort by the indices. Index Change The indices of the table can be active for a session. An index that has more than one field can be defined to show the first fields as a view field. A view field allows users to select only those rows that contain the view field value within their index value. Example- View Field The Item group index for the Item table has 2 fields: Item Group and Item. When the user changes the index to the Item Group index, the Item Group field shows as the view field. The fact that the form changes its display is called Dynamic Index Switching. Index Change Result For more information, refer to To implement dynamic index switching in the Infor Web Help.
