Tabs:

This area is divided into a series of tabs, each containing a number of default values applicable to a certain area. These tabs are as follows:

Command Buttons

A number of command buttons are available. Some buttons are context sensitive and are greyed-out and only become available dependent upon the particular process that is being accessed. The full list of command buttons is as follows:

Exit: Exits the System Parameters form and returns to the System Maintenance menu.

Help: Provides online access to a context sensitive Help form.

Create: Enables the creation of an additional record. Mutually exclusive option buttons allow this to be done in one of the two following ways:

Blank: Used if a new record is to be set-up without utilising existing criteria.

Copy: Copies the values within an existing "nearest match" record so that only required values need be edited.

Amend: Provides the facility for editing the set-up options of the current record. No edits can be made to a record until the Amend button has been selected.

Delete: Deletes the currently selected record.

Save: Saves any amendments made to system parameters and returns to the System Maintenance menu.

Cancel: On first accessing the form this command button is greyed-out. Following selection of the Amend button the Cancel option then becomes available to enable any edits to a record to be cancelled.

Message: This is not a command button. This box is a way of displaying messages with regard to the status of the current record e.g. "Record Secured OK"

Ad-hoc: Selection of this button displays a further form that provides an Ad-hoc Report Generator for the creation of quick query reports to form.

Setup: Selection of this button displays a further form that provides an itemised display of all the selection criteria for the current record.
