<b>Value Range</b>

Value range will be maintained at domain level. Definition follows as...

The value range of a domain can be limited by defining fixed values. In

this case, only the values entered in the fixed values are possible for

all the table fields referring to this domain. The fixed values can be

single values or intervals.

You can only define fixed values for domains of data types CHAR, NUMC,

DEC, INT1, INT2 and INT4.

<b>Search help</b>

Search helps enable you to restrict selections using a variety of criteria. They are particularly useful if you want to report on data for persons for whom the information at your disposal is incomplete. If you choose Search helps, the system displays a variety of search helps (such as last name – first name and organizational assignment) which can be used to select personnel numbers efficiently.

Hello,

A search help will let you search values for a field when hiting F4 in a popup with a little selection screen based on a table or view.

The value range is defined at the domain level and it's static (until you chagne it manually). It act as search help (withou selection screen).

Value range are usually used on fields where the value are always the same (ex: document status O for open, C for close). Search help are used on field like document numbers.

Hope this help
