Windows Sub-Tab

This section includes the fields and descriptions for the Windows sub-tab.

Field	Description
Window Name	In this field, you enter the name of the workspace to which the group should have access. The available workspace names can be found and inserted by using the action “Find Window” in the Find-menu. Please note that the Find-workspace only displays workspaces of the type specified in the field “Window Type.” You can also specify the internal name of the relevant workspace in the field “Internal Window Name.” This can be an advantage, as it is possible for several workspaces in Maconomy to have the same external name, but the internal name of each workspace must be unique. If you specify a name in this field and leave the field “Internal Window Name” blank, Maconomy automatically completes the field “Internal Window Name.” However, if several workspaces have the specified external name, Maconomy displays an error message. If you specify an internal name, Maconomy automatically completes this field with the external name of the workspace in question. Moreover, you should note that if you want all available workspaces to be added in the sub-tab, you can use the action “Create lines for all workspaces,” If you want to give the group access to all workspaces, you can leave this field blank and select the pop-up type “Unspecified” in the field “Window Type.” On such a line, you can then specify the rights which the users of the group should have in all workspaces in the system (a combination of the rights “Read,” “Create,” “Change,” and “Delete”). Having done this, however, you can still add lines for workspaces for which specific access rights should be given to the users of the group. These lines will represent exceptions to the general rights on the line with the value “Unspecified.” An example could be that all users of the groups are given access to read all workspaces, and that they are only given access to create, change and delete entries in certain other workspaces.
Window Type	This field shows the workspace type that applies to the current line. There are six types of workspaces, described below: Dialog workspace— Windows of this type contain a tab and very often a sub-tab. Examples of such workspaces are the workspaces Time Sheets, Sales Orders, and Vendor Information Card. Parameter workspace— Windows in which you can specify parameters, for example a range of companies or order numbers. When the user accepts the specified parameters, Maconomy will carry out a given action. Examples of such workspaces are the workspaces Item Purchase Selection, Interest Charge Selection, and all print workspaces. Search workspaces— The workspace or search pane displayed when you select “Find” in Maconomy, for example, “Find Activity.” Report — The reports/report templates available under the menu Analyzer in the Windows client and the Reports menu in the Java™ client, respectively. Selection — Windows available in the menus Export, Programs, Graphics, and Reports in the menu. Unspecified — A token specifying all workspaces available in the system.
Internal Window Name	In this field, you enter the internal name of the workspace to which the group should have access. The functionality of the field is similar to that of the field “Window Name” above.
Read	Mark this field to give the group access to open the workspace and read information.
Create	Mark this field to give the group access to create information in the workspace (that is, the “New” function in the Index menu will be active).
Update	You mark this field to give the group access to change information in the workspace and to use functions in the “Action” menu. In the workspace Actions, you can limit user access to the individual actions in the Action menus in various workspaces.
Delete	You mark this field to give the group access to delete information in the workspace (that is, the “Delete” function in the Index menu will be active).
Access from	In this field, you can specify whether the access rights granted on the current line should apply when accessing the workspace in question through the Maconomy client program, through MScript functionality or both. If you specify “Client Only,” the access rights only apply when accessing the workspace in question by means of the Maconomy client program (including the Java client). If you specify “API Only,” the access rights apply when accessing the dialog in question using M-Script. This includes Portal objects using the functionality of the workspace in question. Therefore, for a given user to be able to use a given Portal object, the user in question must be assigned to a group granting M-Script access to all of the workspaces on which the object is based. If you specify a blank value, the access rights apply both when using the Maconomy client program and when using M-Script.
