Parameter combination overview
The following discussion illustrates the outcome of a combination of the validation parameters defined in the Project parameters form on the Journals tab.
On the General FastTab, you can specify the effect that the validation of a particular combination will have by the options that you select in the Project/category field, the Worker/project field, and the Category/worker field.
Select one of the following options:
None – All projects/categories, project/workers, or category/workers are shown.
Lookup – A filtered list of projects/categories, project/workers, and category/workers is shown. Valid options that are not in the list can be entered.
Mandatory – A specified list of projects/categories, project/workers, and category/workers is shown. Only options that appear in the list can be selected.
