Purpose

Use this page to display a banner announcement on each page of the space. Create the Space announcements page in the master space, outside of the Home branch.

You can version the Space announcements page to enable different banners to be published into different target spaces, however, the banner that is displayed in the versioned (master) space itself only displays the most recently-published banner.  If you find errors in the banner area of your versioned space and you are sure the Space announcements page is set up correctly, try publishing the page to the same space.

For more information, see Space-announcements-banners.

Removing

When an announcement is no longer needed, remove the BMC Space Banner macro.

Translation

Localized spaces using the L10n Viewport theme must change the name of this page to Space announcements l10n.  See Configuring-the-Scroll-ViewPort-theme-for-translated-spaces.

Usage

Choose one or none of the following BMC Space Banner macros.

If your space requires another kind of announcement, you can use this page in coordination with your team lead and editors.

When should I use a space announcement banner?

Use the space organization announcement after you change the content from a book-like organization (such as User Manual, Configuration Manual, and Administration Guide) to the product model.

Use the latest version announcement to push traffic to later versions. You do not need to add this to every previous version, but if you have a specific reason that you want users to be aware—for example, Google searches show content for an obsolete version—use the banner to help users find a relevant version.

When an announcement is no longer needed, remove the BMC Space Banner macro.

Space announcement This documentation space provides the same content as before, but the organization of the content has changed. The content is now organized based on logical branches instead of legacy book titles. We hope that the new structure will help you quickly find the content that you need.

Browse and Edit function

This section describes the File-AID for Db2 Browse and Edit functions. The Browse function lets you display a table or view, either in its entirety or by selected rows and fields. You can specify the rows you want to see or indicate that you want certain areas excluded. You cannot, however, make any changes to the table or view.

The Edit function provides all of the capabilities of the Browse function, and also allows you to update the data. Because the Browse and Edit screens are so similar, this chapter shows only the Edit version of the screens.

These functions also enable you to browse and edit multiple tables in a single session. The Related Table Browse and Edit function enables you to browse and edit multiple tables related through Db2 referential integrity or through a user-defined application relationship. This function is described in detail in Related-Table-Browse-and-Edit-function. You can also browse and edit multiple tables that are unrelated. Information on working with unrelated tables is presented in this section.

Important

Auxiliary tables cannot be selected for Browse or Edit.

The following topics and figures are described in this section:

Complete descriptions of the primary commands available for browse and edit are described in Primary Commands. Primary Command Availability by Function summarizes where the primary commands are valid. Line commands are described in Line Commands. Line Command Availability by Function summarizes where the line commands are valid.
