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.
