Editing Child Lines
SFM Lightning Delivery
You can edit child lines in each of the child line tabs in the SFM Grid view.
To edit child lines in grid view:
1. Open any record.
2. Launch an SFM. The SFM Delivery page is displayed. If the mapping is configured for fields in a child line, then value is automatically populated in those fields.
3. On an existing child line, single click to set the value on any field also called as Inline Edit and use the tab key to navigate through all fields and rows in the edit mode. You can also double-click in the SFM grid to add a child line.
 |
• You can also use the Edit option from the drop-down list available for a child line which opens a pop-up window also called Extended Edit window. For more information, see Extended Edit.
• If you see only a few child sections on the SFM load, it is because the admin must have enabled the Hide Empty Section On Load property on the identified child section.
• The edit area of the field auto adjusts to the column width in the grid. You can adjust the column width to view the complete field value and edit easily.
• Dependent picklist validation in child lines is not invoked on SFM save.

The following screen displays the inline edit with the edited fields in a yellow background.
4. Click Save.
The message Saved Successfully is displayed.

2. Launch an SFM. The SFM Delivery page is displayed.
3. Select the checkboxes for the child lines that require updates and then edit the field value on one of the selected child lines. Select the "Update n records" checkbox below the edited field, where n represents the number of selected child lines.
| | The Select All checkbox available on the top of the Child Line grid only selects the line items on the current page. It will not select the line items in all the pages. |
