Summary implementation and usage

  1. Open Design Mode.

    • You enter the Design Mode by selecting the Design UI Layouts option on the Administration tab of the SYSPRO Ribbon Bar.

    • Enable the System-wide option.

    • Select the Start Design Mode button.

      When this is done the Design Mode in Progress screen opens.

  2. Open the Design System-wide View.

    • From the Application Builder dropdown list, select the Design System-wide View menu option.

      This calls up a blank Application Builder screen with the title Application System-wide View.

    • The Application System-wide View is the same as any other blank application builder screen except that it does not have the Options button on the toolbar.

      This means that you cannot change the applications title, and you cannot set VBScript code against an OnClose event.

  3. Design the System-wide View application as you require.

    • Select to add a customized pane(s) using the Customized Pane Editor program.

    • Alternatively import an existing customized pane(s).

  4. Complete the process.

    • Close the Application System-wide View screen.

    • Use the Exit Design Mode button on the Design Mode in Progress screen.

    • If you need to modify the System-wide application you will need to go back into design mode first.

  5. View your new System-wide application.

    • The System-wide View application will appear by default for existing and new operators.

      If the Auto Hide option is used so that the System-wide application is no longer on the desktop, it will minimize to a tab like any other screen.

    • If the System-wide application is closed by the operator, it can be re-opened using the Show System-wide View menu item on the System-wide View dropdown on the Home tab of the SYSPRO Ribbon bar.

    • To ensure that the System-wide View docking pane opens automatically when an operator logs in, enable the Show system-wide view when logging in option in the System-wide Personalization program.

Notes and warnings

Existing customized panes

  • If an operator logs into SYSPRO, and a Dock_IMPDH0LZ.XML exists in the Base\settings\Role_SYS folder, then the panes defined in this docking layout will be loaded into the System-wide View pane.

  • You can display both a system-wide and a role view docking pane at the same time.
