Global Join Manager

System Administrator Only

Use extreme care when creating global joins, as it is possible to create a global join that can cause system performance problems.
By default, the ADDRESS table is joined to the ACCOUNT table via an Inner join. Do not change the properties of this join.

The Global Join Manager displays all global joins in your Sage SalesLogix database, and permits the system administrator or administrative user to add, edit, and delete global joins as necessary. A global join is permanent and exists from session to session in the Query Builder data tree structure.

Sage SalesLogix contains a series of predefined global joins (called system joins), which cannot be deleted.Anyone can use these predefined global joins by selecting a field in the Query Builder and clicking the Global Join button. The Global Join Manager dialog appears, displaying existing global joins and giving you the option to edit or delete existing global joins, or to add new ones.

The Global Join Manager is only available if you are logged in as an administrator.
