Using views to filter data display

When a view is associated with the database, TABL display mode only shows the data (segment occurrences) associated with one segment type at any one time. This segment type is referred to as the currently formatted segment type. Selected segment occurrences that are not of the current type are represented by shadow lines. These segment occurrences are referred to as the suppressed segments. Segment occurrences that are of the current type but are not selected are not shown in the view.

Segment occurrences of the current type are selected or not-selected, depending upon how their values match the layout identification and field selection criteria defined in your view.
