Screen Edit Guidelines

Current Section is thought for Developers of Advanced Business Users who need to Customize existing Screen or to Create additional ones.

 

Designing a Screen, thankful to the Board Visual Programming Free approach is quite easy : Nevertheless the Complexity of the Model Logics needs to take under consideration the following criteria.

 

Select Criteria

 

Dimension Reporting Screen Data Entry Screen
Month Dynamic Screen Select based on [F Open - Archived] and by Page (No All) Dynamic Screen Select based on [F Open - Closed] or
Dynamic Screen Select based on [F Load Data (Y/N)]

image41.jpg(1) By default in the existing Data Entry Forms there is no Lock based on the Scenario Management neither on the Audit Trail. The [F (Open - Closed) Periods x Scenario] Cube affects only the Selection of the Screen not the Layout lock. This decision has been taken to keep the Layout as simple as possible giving the flexibility to the developer to add more restrictive conditions. It si also clear that this approach is weak since the User can change the Screen Selection.

 

How to Link the Lock to the Scenario Management :

> remove the Possibility to Change the Screen Selection (Deny Select Screen Property)

> include the  [F (Open - Closed) Periods x Scenario] Cube as Locking block in the Layouts. On very complex Layout it could be necessary to "propagate" it on additional dimensions like Reporting Units.

 

How to Link the Lock to the Audit Trail

> include the [Global Process To-Do List] or the  [Local Process To-Do List] Cube as Locking block in the Layouts.
