Transfer and starting of the iView is done using by dragging the specified DRAG symbol with the mouse.

A Drag&Relate Source is an iView that contains Business Objects. Drag&Relate compatible Business Objects are designated with the symbol .

When you only click on the DRAG symbol in a BEx Web Application without dragging it to another iView, the master data with attributes from the InfoObject Characteristic are displayed.
