What it is for

These are configuration screens: they change the product for every client that shares the configuration, so they are worked by ABS consultants, normally on the development system. A field placed on a screen without a dictionary entry here is never drawn. Every line needs a class, a field and at least one label with its language.

Every field in plain words
