Tips & tricks for master - detail searching

$

Hi all,

 

Using PB11.5.1.

 

Our application provides the user to create lets say an insurance claim. Each claim is saved in the master table ,the master table information is shown to the user in the main lookup window.

 

Users can doubleclick to open the claim to edit data. Each claim has detail records , and each detail records can be a master again that has details again. We are having up to 7 master detail combinations possible. So 1 master table with a detail record 1 , detail record 1 can have multiple detail records 2 , detail record 2 can have multiple detail records 3 and so on .... Each detail record can have up to 100 columns possible.

 

Our users are now asking for an easy way to search for a claim based on information in any of the detail records. We can't use the table names (this would require the end user to know and understand the relation between the different tables)  nor the column name as these were created a long time ago and don't always reflect the contents of the column anymore.

 

Ideally we would like to have the data appear in our main lookup window with all the claims (not necessarily show the information of all the detail records).

 

Any tips or idea's are more than welcome !

 

 

 

Kind regards,

 

John
