Help View ?

Hi Experts,

I want to know , what is HELP VIEW and how to use it .

You have to create a help view if a view with outer join is needed as selection method of a search help.

The selection method of a search help is either a table or a view. If you have to select data from several tables for the search help, you should generally use a database view as selection method. However, a database view always implements an inner join. If you need a view with outer join for the data selection, you have to use a help view as selection method.

All the tables included in a help view must be linked with foreign keys. Only foreign keys

A help view implements an outer join, i.e. all the contents of the primary table of the help view are always displayed. You therefore should not formulate a selection condition for fields in one of the secondary tables of the help view. If records of these secondary tables cannot be read as a result of this selection condition, the contents of the corresponding fields of the secondary table are displayed with initial value.
