You can define a Show On List column for a file group, to specify whether a particular plan code is included in file group processes.
This column is used for slightly different purposes depending on the "type" of file group.
-
If the file group uses a predefined list of plan codes, then the primary use of this column is to prevent a plan file from being created for a particular plan code. For example, you may be mapping several plan codes to a single "parent" plan code, so that all plan development takes place in one plan file for those codes. In this case you do not want to create separate plan files for the mapped plan codes, so you remove them from file group processes using the Show On List column.
-
If the file group adds plan codes "on demand," then the primary use of this column is to hide plan files that have already been created but no longer need to be included in file group processes. When a user creates an on-demand plan file, the entry in the Show On List column (if it exists) is automatically set to True so that the new plan file can be easily accessed and included in file group processes. However, if the plan file was created by mistake, or is "completed" and no longer needs to be available to file group processes, you can use the Show On List column to hide the plan file from file group dialogs (as an alternative to deleting the plan code and its associated plan file).
The Show On List column is not automatically created for a plan code table—if you want to use a Show On List column, it must be manually created. The Show On List column can be named anything you like, but it must be a Boolean column (True/False).
If Show On List is True for a plan code, then that plan code is available to file group processes. If Show On List is False for a plan code, then that plan code is not available to file group processes and does not display in file group dialogs such as Open Plan Files, Create Plan Files, etc. If no Show On List column is defined, then all plan codes are available to file group processes.
NOTE: If Show On List is False for a plan code, but the plan code already has an existing plan file, that plan file will still display in Axiom Explorer for administrator access and can be opened using the GetDocument function.
A plan code table can be used by multiple file groups, and therefore can have multiple Show On List columns. However, if the same settings apply to multiple file groups, the same Show On List column can be used.
