TEI Tab

The following list describes the properties on the TEI tab for the SPEC2000 Segment Properties dialog box:

TEI

The Text Element Identifier that begins the control data elements.

Min usage

Minimum number of times the segment must loop (repeat).

For a conditional loop, the minimum usage is 0 (zero). For a mandatory loop, the minimum usage is 1 or greater.

Max usage

Maximum number of times the segment must loop (repeat).

Check here if this TEI can be missing

Whether the TEI can be absent from the segment. Default is not selected (the TEI can not be missing from the segment).

Note: The TEI can only be missing for mandatory segments. Set the Min Usage of the field to one or greater to make the segment mandatory.
