This section explains the Maintain Functions (IMFN) screen and its associated fields.
At line 13 changed 7 lines
There are two types 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
At line 28 added 4 lines
;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.

!!Preferences tab
At line 81 changed 14 lines
Preference 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.
Priority
This field allows you to define the order in which the preferences will appear. Although at this time none of the preferences would occur at the same time, preferences developed in the future, however, may need a sequential order.
Value
You need to specify the details of the preference in this field.
For example:
Preference Value
FOOTER INFO docs/WEECN_FOOTER.html
ALLOW FIND FOCUS N
;[Preference|PREFERENCE_CODE]:If the function has any [preferences|SYSTEM PREFERENCE] associated with it, you may define those [preferences|SYSTEM PREFERENCE] in this field. There are a list of preferences in the drop down menu for you to select from.
;[Priority|PREFERENCE_SEQUENCE]:This field allows you to define the order in which the preferences will appear. Although at this time none of the preferences would occur at the same time, preferences developed in the future, however, may need a sequential order.
;[Value|PREFERENCE_VALUE]:You need to specify the details of the preference in this field.
;:For example:
||Preference|| Value
|FOOTER INFO| docs/WEECN_FOOTER.html
|ALLOW FIND FOCUS| N

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.
