General notes

Syntax notes can be found under Section 7.1.1, “Fortran Syntax ” or Section 7.1.2, “SQL Syntax ”.
In some input fields Fortran syntax has to be used, in some SQL syntax. The respective note is found above each point.
Specify variables with their table name in addition.

Examples:
```
ERPTABLE.ERP_PDM_NUMBER
LINKTABLE.ACTIVE_STATE
```
For complex expressions use brackets. Unneeded brackets are ignored. In case of doubt, too many brackets are better than too few brackets.
Please remember to update the link database search index in case of relevant changes of role settings.

PARTadmin -> Index administration -> context menu command Create link database search index.

Relevant changes are:
- Preferred rows filter
- Filter condition for datasets
- Viewing condition for table rows
- Column visibility
- Columns to hide
- Display condition for parts selection
