There are two categories of functions:
|Internal Function|The main purpose of an internal function is to allow you to create, view, edit and delete your company’s information within the application. For example, all the individuals who will be using the application are maintained as a list of users through the Maintain Users ([IMUS]) screen.\\In addition, these internal functions allow you to customize some of the structure of the application to suit your company’s needs. You can indicate how information will be presented and who will be able to access or edit this information.
|External Function |External functions are links to either external web pages or to documents stored outside of the application. For example, you may have a company policy that you would like to have accessible on the application. You can create a new function which points the application to that document so that users may view it online.
Through the IMFN screen, you will be able to modify the internal functions and also create and modify external functions.

The function table data is system provided, although certain options may be tailored by the system administrator, and new custom functions (e.g. procedures) may be added. Typically, there is no modification of provided functions and they should not be changed unless directed to do so by Support.

!Functions in Self Service
There are several function types, however only three apply to Self Service:
* Screen
* External
* Manual
;Screen: This is a supplied function, which looks to a pre-loaded screen. e.g. [WEBEL] (Other Benefit Options in [ESS| MODULE-ESS]). You may only alter Screen functions in Self Service if the original function has been copied. This leaves the original function intact and allows you to make changes to the new version.
%%information Please note that all copied functions will become your responsibility. Any and all changes could be lost during system upgrades as old functions may become obsolete due to technology changes in an upgrade. It is recommended that wherever possible, object security ([IMOS]), translations ([IMLA]) and user defined columns be used to modify the appearance of functions, as these changes will not be affected by upgrades.%%
;External:External functions are links to either external web pages or to documents stored outside of the Self Service application. These functions will be placed on a menu and when accessed by a user, a separate window will open displaying the link. For example, you may have a company policy that you would like to have accessible through the Self Service application. You can create a new function which points the application to that document so that users may view it online.
;Manual:Manual functions are the same as external functions, however, when placed on a menu and accessed by a user, the link will open within the Self Service application.

This tab on Functions (IMFN) serves the same purpose as the Maintain Execution Rights ([IMER]) screen. If you associate a function to a role [IMER], that role will appear in the Execution Rights tab of IMFN and vice versa.
The Execution Rights tab allows you to grant specific users or roles access to the function and to define in what capacity.
At line 67 changed 13 lines
Pre-defined ‘Web Module’ Roles must not be granted execution rights; only the ‘Execution Type’ Roles that you create should be given execution rights.
Through either screen you can determine which roles have access to specific functions and what levels of C.R.U.D. they have
;[Role|ROLE_NAME] or [User|USER_NAME]:These fields allow you to chose the individual or role you wish to assign execution rights to.
;[Create|CREATE_ALLOWED]:If both role and function execution rights are set to “Yes”, a user with this role may create data in this function.
;:If the boolean for either the Role Execution Rights or the Function Execution ‘Allowed’ Rights are “No”, then the user will not be able to create data in the function.
;[Retrieve|RETRIEVE_ALLOWED]:If both role and function execution rights are set to “Yes”, a user with this role may retrieve data in this function.
;:If the boolean for either the Role Execution Rights or the Function Execution ‘Allowed’ Rights are “No”, then the user will not be able to retrieve data in the function.
;[Update|UPDATE_ALLOWED]:If both role and function execution rights are set to “Yes”, a user with this role may update data in this function.
;:If the boolean for either the Role Execution Rights or the Function Execution ‘Allowed’ Rights are “No”, then the user will not be able to update data in the function.

;[Preference|PREFERENCE_CODE]:If the function has any preferences associated with it, you may define those preferences in this field. There are a list of preferences in the drop down menu for you to select from. At this time, however, there are only two preferences that are applicable to functions within the application:
HEADER INFO and FOOTER INFO
These selections will allow you to add text to either the bottom (footer) or top (header) of the function form.
The Header and Footer preferences are exclusive to functions and may not be attached to other items such as roles.
ALLOW FIND FOCUS
This will prevent a screen from having their list or find block hidden. This is particularly useful for the screens that have no other data other then the find block.

You must create an HTML file and save that file in the document folder on your application server.
e.g. oracle/ias_903/j2ee/home/applications/selfService/HLApplication/doc/file.html
Once the file has been saved, you will indicate the folder, file name and extension; there is no need to include the path up to the application folder.
e.g. doc/file.html
Both the file name and extension must be entered with the exact spelling and case as indicated in the document folder .
`Preference' and 'Value' are mandatory fields that must be completed when you are creating a new record.
