In a number of maintenance screens in the client/server version of Costpoint, you can link one record to one or more records in another table. These screens are called "Select/Deselect" screens after the two pushbuttons of the same name that are used to add or remove the links between the selected records.
If the other table being linked typically has a large number of records from which to select, an additional screen field is often included that you can use to reduce the number of fields displayed on the screen.
There are some significant differences in how the Select/Deselect option works in Costpoint web:
First, the Deselect pushbutton has been removed.
To remove records from the selected table, you must use the Delete Line function after you select the records to be removed.
Second, you can use Query to reduce the number of records displayed in the "from" result set. You can select the "from" result set and press the Query icon to determine which records to display in the "from" table (using filtering criteria) and how they should be sorted.
Please refer to the Query section of this document for detailed information on how to use this feature.
Finally, you can manually add records to the selected record result set, thus bypassing the "from" result set entirely. In this circumstance, standard Lookup and validation functions are available to ensure that the manually added data is correct.
