Changing Control File Options

There are two ways to change settings or options within a screen function.

1. Within Control File Maintenance <CFM> – useful for changing options for a User Group, which are linked to a specific control file.

   Eg. Altering the ‘Sales Reps’ options for processing a Sales Quote.

   • Select Control File Sales Quotes
   • Click on the icons to select the Sales Reps Control File
   • Highlight Sales Reps
   • Select Options
   • Highlight the option to be changed (in this case, the option to suppress Line Quantity Warnings)

• Highlight Line Qty Warnings then Modify
• Tick to permit Edit
• Double click on value to change appropriately (ie. As below, selected online and transaction save )

• OK [F9]
• Option is now changed for Sales Reps

The shaded options represent all other settings that are not unique to the Control File ‘Sales Reps’ – but are based on the whole Acme Company settings.

2. Changing Control File options when using another function.

This option is useful when the User, Joe Smith is already within a screen (ie. Sales Quotes <SQ>), and wishes to alter a setting to make it particularly unique to him.

The <CFM> screen can be entered directly by using the keys [Control + Shift F] together.

The options are then selected as in Note 1.
