How To Fix IH142 - Layout &1 and classification do not intersect

IH142 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: IH - structuring

• Message number: 142

• Message text: Layout &1 and classification do not intersect

What causes this issue?

You want to display characteristics in a single-level Plant Maintenance
list. You have selected some objects in the list and have switched on
the display of characteristics by choosing <ZK>Settings</> -> <ZK>
Show/Hide Classification</>.
The system issues this message if there are no characteristics that
belong both to the class you selected and to layout &V1&. This can be
due to one of the following reasons:
You have selected more than one class in the selection dialog box. You
saved layout &V1& as the default layout, thus specifying that the system
should display the classification characteristics as defined in layout
&V1&. There are no characteristics that are assigned to the classes you
selected and are also assigned to the default layout &V1&.
You want to display the characteristics of a specific class, so you
chose <ZK>Layout for Characteristics</> and selected layout &V1&.
However, none of the characteristics that belong to the class you
selected are displayed by this layout.

System Response

The system only displays classification characteristics if they not only
belong to the selected classes but also are part of layout &V1&. Since
there are no characteristics that are shared by both the selected
classes and by layout &V1&, the system does not display any
characteristics.

How to fix this error?

Select different classes, select a different layout, or undo the default
setting for layout &V1&. If you do not want to change the selected
classes or the predefined layout, you can choose the <PF>Layout for
Characteristics</> pushbutton to manually copy up to 20 characteristics
from the selected classes to the list.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
