Hi,
I just want to know in which scenario we can use Masks and how to use it? My second question is regarding Is Qualifier in qualified Look up tables? What is the significance a qualifier field in Qaulified LookUp?
Thanks

Hi Sekhar,
Mask: Consider a business scenarion where you want the End User to see only a particular set of records.. for example, all the records whose Sales Area is "INDIA" only. Then, you can create a mask which includes only these records and assign it to the user. This will restrict the user to see any other record.
The disadvantage being.. mask is static.. that means any new record added will not be visible to the user. In that scenario you can use Named Searches.
Mask or Named Search depends on how you want it.
Qualifier: In a Qualified table, there are 2 types of fields.. Qualifiers & Non-Qualifiers. While designing remember.. Qualifiers are the fields which depend on Non Qualifiers. The below is a article which should help you in understnading it:

Hi Sekhar,
The concept of mass is to slice and dice the existing repository in the number of small, virtual repositories.
for example,
consider you have product repository which holds the product master data for a global enterprise. Now you want to efficiently allow the set of users from different geofgraphies to use their country specific product data.
the first thing you will be doing here is creation of masks by using naming convention of perticular geography. once this is done, you should add your product data to the different created masks.
So the advantage of masks can be:
partition of the single main table into many customised, subset repositories
The main use can be in the Edit operation of set of records as a group
Qualified look up:
Qualified lookup table contains two major fields:
Qualifier and a non Qualifier.
Qualifier fields are in one way the dependent entries of Non Qualifier fields.
So precisely, in a qualified lookup table update, when you enter the non Qualifier field values, it will enable for you the Qualifier fields.
Hope this helps you understand the concept. more details can be found in the below link:
