Opt-In Features Overview

As an administrator, you can use the Opt-In Features form to enable designated new features for your Vantagepoint users. Features listed on this form will be optional during a specific timeframe. In a future release, the features will become automatically enabled for all Vantagepoint users.

Opt-in features support testing by users in your company. When you enable an opt-in feature in a sandbox database, you give your users the opportunity to experience how that feature will potentially impact their workflow, data, and application use.

You control the timing of this testing, which you can schedule to take place before you enable the feature in a production database and before the feature is automatically enabled for all users. During the opt-in timeframe, you can also disable most opt-in features, if necessary.

In a later release, after the opt-in timeframe is over, these features will become automatically enabled for all users and will no longer be listed on the Opt-In Features form. While some features may require that you specify additional settings or security rights at that point, most will become standard in the product.

Vantagepoint 7.0 Opt-In Features

The following features are available on the Opt-In Features form for Vantagepoint 7.0:
  • Purchasing: Create Voucher from Purchase Order (Create VO from PO)
  • Purchasing: Request for Price Quote
  • Transaction Center: Enhanced Row Level Validation (for Transaction Entry and AP Invoice Approvals)
  • Hubs: Explicit Save

Opt-In Feature Identifier

In the Vantagepoint online help and other content, opt-in features are identified with this label: (Opt-In Available).

In addition, the opt-in feature topics include the following statement and a link to this overview topic:

You can choose to opt in to this feature for the Vantagepoint 7.0 release. The ability to opt in is temporary and will be removed when the feature becomes automatically enabled for all Vantagepoint users in a future release.

When the feature becomes a standard part of the Vantagepoint application, the (Opt-In Available) label and the related statement will be removed from all associated content.

Role Security

On the Opt-In Features form, you see only those features for which you have the appropriate access rights. For example, only users who have enabled Purchasing and have the appropriate access rights see any features related to the Purchasing application.
