Slide 1

We are working with User Access Profiles and in this tutorial we are going to look at examples of how we can Copy Menu Profiles

Slide 2

When we copy Menu Profiles, the effect is taking place only in the current Data Mart where we are working.

Now when would we want to use the Copy options for Menu Profiles? This is a way of constructing a complete new Menu structure or adding to an existing Menu structure for a User Profile in a specific Data Mart i.e. a Data Mart in which we are working at the moment.

So we would use this method to create a new Non Logon Profile and we can also use it for a User where we do not use Subscription Profiles but rather construct or build the menu manually.

Slide 3

In my examples now I am going to use a user code called “JS” for John Smith

Slide 4

And 1^st of all I just want to show that at the moment, if I look at the Business Modules

Slide 5

Slide 6

Slide 7

For this Data Mart for “JS”

Slide 8

Slide 9

We can see that there is nothing on the application list here

Slide 10

We do not see any entries. That means that this User, John Smith, does not have any Menu Access in the current Data Mart at the moment.

Slide 11

So what I am going to do now, is I am going to the Copy Method

Slide 12

New Access Methods

Copy Profile(s)

Slide 13

And I am going to choose

Slide 14

Copy Profile

Slide 15

And then I will select Menus.

There is a difference between Menu Profiles and Business Profiles.

Slide 16

Slide 17

Slide 18

I am working with Menu Profiles.

Now when I get to this step, I have a choice of either copying a single Business Module, at the time, and I can repeat that step and do it for 3 Business Modules, for example.

Or I can copy All the Business Modules from the “From User” to the “To User” in one go if I use the *star - the asterisk.

.

Slide 19

Slide 20

So I am going to say Cash for Cash Book.

Slide 21

And the system finds it for me and I Select it

Slide 22

Slide 23

And then I state the User that I am copying from

Slide 24

Slide 25

In other words everything that User DM has for Cash Book, must now be copied to John Smith

Slide 26

Right. And I am going to say Copy Now

Slide 27

Ok. Now that is being done. But I just want to show now what has happened

Slide 28

Slide 29

Slide 30

And therefore I will go again to this option

Slide 31

Slide 32

On the Business Modules

Slide 33

Just to show what has happened with J S

Slide 34

J S now has the Cash Book application as a Menu Profile i.e. has the option on his Menu Profile and obviously below this application there are some actions.

With each action there are some options.

All according to what User DM has at the moment.

Slide 35

Slide 36

Now let us repeat that and do another Business Module

Slide 37

Slide 38

I am going to go to Copy Profile

Slide 39

Slide 40

Menus

Slide 41

Slide 42

And this time I am going to choose Debtors

Slide 43

Slide 44

Slide 45

Slide 46

Slide 47

And I am copying again from DM to JS

Slide 48

Slide 49

Slide 50

Slide 51

Copy Now
