DEEP COPY IN SS#

Deep Copy can be done now in the Self Service application.

• The Deep Copy functionality is controlled by ‘C’ function definition for a specific table (C + Table Alias).
  • for example, the ‘C’ function for the IMFDH form would be ‘CMFG’

The Deep Copy feature is designed in a such way that setup can be done to restrict certain users like Employees from doing a Deep Copy and other users like Admin can have access to this feature.

To implement this functionality, the Site/Role preferences ALLOW_DEEP_COPY is setup

IMST#

• Set the Site preference value to Y or N in IMST.

IMRO#

• Set the preference value for a specific role in IMRO to override the IMST Site Preference setting.
  
  • For example, the role = WWW_EMPLOYEE can have ALLOW_DEEP_COPY set to ‘N’
• If the preference value is set to ‘N’ for a specific role, no icon will be displayed in SS.
• If no value is set for a specific role, then system is using the site preference value
• The preference can be modified in IMPF

How it works:#

• In Self Service focus on a specific Role (ie: Employee Self Service EMSS)
  • launch a form (IMFDH screen), click on Form Layout tab and select a form group. Based on the role preference settings (Preference ALLOW_DEEP_COPY=N), the Deep Copy will not be enabled (the Deep Copy icon is missing in the upper right corner)
• Focus on Role = MANAGER and launch IMFDH screen
  • click on a form group under Form Layout tab. Based on the role preference settings the Deep Copy icon will be displayed.
  • click on the Deep Copy icon and open a dialog where you can create a copy of the selected record.
