Users

You use this program to capture and maintain engineering change users required within the system and to link them to SYSPRO operator codes.

Engineering Users

Field Description
Save If you enabled the Take on authorities when adding user preference (ECC Browse on Users) then you are prompted to indicate the statuses to which this user must be granted access.
Edit  
Authorities Use the ECC Status Authorities program to indicate the access to statuses for the ECC user.

Engineering User Details

Field Description
Engineering User

Indicates the engineering user code entered on the toolbar.
Name Enter the description to associate with the engineering user.
ECC System Administrator Grants administrator privileges to the engineering user within the ECC system. The user can apply the manual options against an ECC status regardless of whether the options are enabled against the status (Status Codes).

The following options are always available against a status code when the user is an ECC Systems Administrator:

  • Manual addition of Affected Items

  • Manual locks to be applied

  • Manual release of locks

  • Manual change of responsible user

  • Manual change of date available

  • Manual enabling of structure maintenance (providing BOM maintenance is not already enabled)

  • Manual confirmation of structure changes (providing BOM maintenance is already enabled)

  • Manual cancellation of structure changes (providing BOM maintenance is already enabled)

  • Manual un-setting of ECC control

When the ECC Change Orders program is loaded, the ECC user against the operator code is used to determine whether the operator is an ECC system administrator.

If an operator exists against more than one ECC user and the operator switches ECC users, then that ECC user becomes the current user for that operator, and will be the ECC user against which the ECC System Administrator option is checked. If you do not have authority for a status for all ECC users for the operator, then the manual options are not available.

Engineering Users/Operators Xref

This pane enables you to associate SYSPRO operators to the highlighted engineering user currently displayed.

Field Description
Remove Operators Removes all SYSPRO operators and selections from the list.
Operator Indicate the specific SYSPRO operator(s) to assign to the engineering user.
Operator name Displays the name assigned to the operator code.
Email notification req Allows the operator to be notified of events via e-mail.
Notify 'Message Inbox' Allows this operator's message inbox to be notified on any events routed to the engineering user to which this operator belongs.

Inserting Application Help

You would typically follow this procedure to display help for the current program in a customized pane that can be pinned to the program window.

Information includes step-by-step instructions for the various functions available within the program, including a brief overview of what the program does, what setup options are required and how to personalize the program.

  1. Open the program for which you want to insert application help into a customized pane.

    This functionality is only available for a program that has panes.

  2. Right-click any form field.

    You can also click the triangle menu icon that appears in the title area of a pane.

  3. Select Insert Application Help from the context-sensitive menu.

    The application help appears in a pane within your program. You can reposition the pane using the docking stickers or pin it to the program window.

Removing the Application Help pane

If you no longer want to display application help in a pane for your current program, you can simply remove it.

  1. Select the Close icon in the right-hand corner of the application help pane.

  2. Confirm that you want to delete the pane.
