Starting

You can restrict operator access to activities within a program (configured using the Operator Maintenance program).

Controls whether an operator can launch a SYSPRO program by selecting the Run a program option from the SYSPRO Button, or by pressing Ctrl+R from within the SYSPRO Main Menu.

This option only takes effect the first time the operator logs into SYSPRO after the activity was set to either allowed or denied.

Controls whether an operator can select the New SYSPRO instance option from the SYSPRO Button of the SYSPRO Main Menu.

A change to this activity is only recognized when the operator logs out of SYSPRO and then back into SYSPRO.

Description

New

This loads the relevant setup program for a number of items in SYSPRO for which you want to capture details (e.g. customer, supplier, contact, sales order, purchase order, job, quotation, menu and appointment).

Switch Company

This lets you access a different company.

Company Date

This sets the default date for transactions.

Setting the Company date does not affect operators currently logged in, but will be the default date used for new operators loading SYSPRO.

Alternatively, you can choose to set a Temporary date that will not affect other operators and remain in force until you change it or exit SYSPRO.

New SYSPRO Instance

This launches a separate instance of SYSPRO using the same operator and concurrent license (i.e. it does not consume an additional concurrent user license).

SYSPRO requires that the first login is the controlling process and other instances are run from this first or primary instance. New instances can therefore only be launched while the primary instance is running.

Once the new instance is loaded you can run any authorized SYSPRO program as normal. However, only the original SYSPRO instance can access the New SYSPRO Instance and Switch Company options.

An instance number is appended to the window title of each subsequent instance loaded (useful to identify the different instances when tabbing between windows).

Run a Program

This loads a SYSPRO program manually. You would typically use this if you know the name of the program and don't want to waste time navigating a menu structure to locate the program.

You can also append parameters to the program (e.g. an entry of APSPEN 0000001 will load the Supplier Query program and automatically select supplier 0000001).

Run Last Program

This loads the last program that was run in SYSPRO.

Exit SYSPRO

This exits SYSPRO.
