The following applies if you are using a version of the software before Update 46. For the latest instructions, see Manage related items.
In much the same way as classified objects can relate to forms at various levels of a classification tree, classified objects can also relate to a specific column set based on their classification in a classification tree. The difference with column sets is that the potential column sets for the class must be related to an interface of the object, and then each column set (ISPFColumnSet) forms a second relation with the classification (ISPFObjectClass).
Take for example a classification structure for a class SCLBTechnicalQuery:
The goal for this example is to have different column sets for viewing Incoming Technical Query, Internal Technical Query, and Outgoing Technical Query, instead of a general column set for all Technical Queries.First, the column sets are created as in the Create column sets section.
All the column sets are then related to the ISCLBTechnicalQuery interface as potential column sets for SCLBTechnicalQuery. Drag the column set onto the interface to form the List View Column Sets relationship.
If multiple column sets are related to an interface of a non-classified object, the
software will display an error when a list view is requested; this will need to be
resolved by an administrator removing relationships until there is only one column
set for the interface.
The column sets now need to be related to the correct positions in the classification tree:
