System Parameter Island

Field Description
Allow Users to Manually Set Allow Fields on <Vendors / Customers> to Yes Setting this company specific parameter allows users to manually set the Allow fields to Yes.

Since this is a company specific system parameter, you can specify, on a company level, which users can set the Allow fields to Yes.

If you use approval hierarchies (that is, the Approval Required field on the Approval Hierarchies Rules tab is selected), Deltek recommends that you clear this field because Allow field changes should go through an approval process rather than be set manually. If this parameter is cleared, users can set Allow fields to Requested which can then change to Yes after specified workflow approval steps.

If you choose not to use approval hierarchies, select this option to allow users to manually change the Allow fields to Yes.

If you don't use a vendor/customer template and this parameter is:
  • Set — The Allow fields default to Yes.
  • Not set — The Allow fields default to No.
Default <Vendor / Customer / Job> State This parameter sets the default value for the Vendor State, Customer State, or Job State field.
  • If you enable this parameter, when a new vendor, customer, or job is created, the Vendor State, Customer State, or Job State field value is set to the entry in this parameter. The value is set up in the States tab. If you change the value name in that tab, the value on this parameter is automatically updated.
  • If you disable this parameter, the Vendor State, Customer State, or Job State field gets its value from the parent or template vendor, customer, or job. This is not true for company vendor and company customer.
Group This field shows the name of the group to which the current system parameter belongs. Each group name acts as a general description of the parameters in the group, often in the form of the name of the module in which the parameter has influence.
