Profile Options
Profile Options are common to all of our tools. To find the profile options applicable for this Wizard, navigate to System Profile and enter More%IEW% as shown in the screenshot below. Select the ‘Find’ button.
The profile option applicable for this Wizard will show on the ‘System Profile Values’ form as shown below.
Many profile options can be set at the Site, Application, Responsibility or User level. Modify your search in the ‘Find System Profile Options’ form to set options at the appropriate level.
Profile Options are installed when you log into an instance (from the Wizard) for the first time. If a profile option is not available then you will need to re install your profile options. To do this, refer to the Reinstall Profile Options available in the Common User Topics documentation.
Common Profile Options
The following profile options are created for each of our products:
• More4Apps: IEW Named User - This profile enables you to control the named Users for Item Extension Wizard and is set at the User level in Oracle. For more details on how to set up named Users refer to the following Installation and Configuration Guide: Add Named Users.
• More4Apps: IEW Minimum version - This profile option allows you to record the minimum spreadsheet version number allowed. If the version number of the spreadsheet being used is less than the recorded value then the Wizard will not operate.
• More4Apps: IEW Banned - If this profile option is set to ‘Yes’ the Wizard will not operate. This can be set at the site, responsibility or User level.
• More4Apps: IEW Automatically Assign User - If this is set to ‘Yes’ new Users will be automatically assigned up to the maximum allowed by the licence key.
• More4Apps: IEW Allowed version - This profile option is similar to “More4Apps: IEW Minimum version” but is more restrictive. It will stop any version other than the listed version from operating.
• More4Apps: IEW Latest version used - This profile option is for internal use only. It records the highest version number used.
• More4Apps: IEW Licence Key - This profile holds the licence key for the Wizard. A valid licence key is required to use the product. For more details on licence keys refer to the following Installation and Configuration Guide: Enter the Licence Key.
• More4Apps: IEW Limit to preset Application ID - Set this profile to ‘Yes’ to limit the selection of user responsibilities to those assigned to the same application as the Wizard or set to ‘No’ or leave blank to display all responsibilities assigned to the user.
• More4Apps: IEW Nominated Sysadmin for user maintenance - This profile can be set to allow a nominated Oracle user name which doesn't have System Administrator profile value access to maintain users for this product. Other users that do have System Administrator profile access can still maintain product users if this profile is set to a different person.
Note – This profile option is only available for clients with Wizard versions containing ‘Common Modules’ version 204 and greater.
• More4Apps: IEW Template Manager – This profile allows customers to nominate a user to manage templates. This is useful if the user lacks sysadmin access and cannot be granted sysadmin. The profile is set up at the user level. To enable sysadmin access for templating select ‘Yes’ for the current user.
• More4Apps: IEW Custom Query Manager – This profile allows customers to nominate a user to manage download queries. This is useful if the user lacks sysadmin access and cannot be granted sysadmin. The profile is set up at the user level.
• More4Apps: IEW Suppress Custom Query Functionality - This functionality can be suppressed by setting the profile option to ‘Yes’ at the user, responsibility or site level. When this profile option is set (at the appropriate level), selection of any custom query icon will produce a message of ‘The custom query functionality has been disabled by your System Administrator. Please contact your System Administrator’.
Product Specific Profile Options
The following profile options are specific to Item Extension Wizard:
• More4Apps: IEW Activate Pending Item Status Mode - Allows users to update the pending (future) item statuses. This uses an unsupported API in Oracle. By setting this option to ‘Yes’ you are agreeing to this.
• More4Apps: IEW Activate Transaction Default Mode - Oracle doesn’t support Sales Order or Purchasing Default subinventories via the Item interface. Instead these are created/updated via a transaction default. This is a direct insert into the Oracle tables and is therefore not supported by Oracle. By setting this Option to ‘Yes’ you are agreeing to this. (Available in Item Wizard from r12.2 onwards)
• More4Apps: IEW Unicode Encoding Option - This profile determines if character sets used by different applications are converted. By default this is set to ‘Automatic’ and should not be changed unless advised by More4Apps Support.
• More4Apps: IEW Allow MS-Word autocorrect characters - This profile can be set to prevent MS-Word AutoCorrect characters (which are non-ASCII) from being loaded – If these are loaded it can cause data corruption.
• More4Apps: IEW Override Upload Security - This profile is set at the responsibility and has an LOV with the values ‘Yes, No’. Selecting a value of ‘Yes’ will mean the Wizard skips the responsibility form function check.
Setting the following Profile Options to Yes allows the user to use the corresponding load function in the Item Extension Wizard. This is a direct insert into the Oracle tables and is therefore not supported by Oracle. By setting this Option to ‘Yes’ you are agreeing to this:
- More4Apps: IEW Activate ABC Assignment Mode
- More4Apps: IEW Activate Container Items Mode
- More4Apps: IEW Activate Customer Item XRefs Mode
- More4Apps: IEW Activate Inter-class UOM Conversion Mode
- More4Apps: IEW Activate Intra-class UOM Conversion Mode
