User Extensibility
The User Extensibility configuration mode is triggered by a “person” icon 
located in the User Profile Dropdown Menu. The user clicks on the button in the User Profile Dropdown Menu in the upper right corner of the application window to turn on the configuration mode. Once enabled, it permits the user to identify objects on the screen which may be modified and use online extensibility to make screen changes that will appear only in that specific user’s view of the application.
Upon selecting the User Extensibility button, the buttons, fields, sections, group boxes, and item collections on the page that may be altered display the User Extensibility button. The user may also navigate to other pages and make extensibility changes on those as well. Once all modifications are made, the user clicks on the User Extensibility button in the User Profile Dropdown Menu to end the configuration mode and save the changes.
By clicking on the User Extensibility button for an object, a list of available options opens for that object. Possible configurations depending on object include:
-
Move Location - move any field (or other object such as group box, section, item collection, or button ) above or below another field and/or to any other section within a page by selecting the Move… option. However, new columns cannot be created on item collections and the objects cannot be moved from one page or tab to another (e.g., a field from the header to the line) or between major page sections.
-
Visibility - set visibility to Hide for a button, field, group box, section, or item collection by selecting the Hide option.
-
Default Value - configure fields to default to a pre-set static (i.e., constant) value or a dynamic variable (i.e., derived variable) from a pre-defined list of dynamic variables by selecting the Set Default option. . This applies to user interface only, transactions brought in through the API will not receive these defaults.
When setting a default field using extensibility, the field should be researched to ensure the values are valid. For check boxes (i.e., Boolean fields), the typical response should be t/T for True while f/F for False; however, there are some cases where the format differs. For example, the Final flag uses P for Partial = false and F for Final =true.
-
Format as Collapsed – configure an Expanded section or item collection to appear as Collapsed by selecting the Set Collapsed option.
Global Extensibility settings take precedence over any set at the User Extensibility level.
