Chapter 2-3: Domains

Domains Toolbox Option


The toolbox overlay appears on the screen when you invoke the Toolbox option from the Domains screen. The overlay contains a number of features such as documentation management and security management that will assist you when creating domains. The options listed in the Toolbox overlay are described briefly below. See Process Definition for a more detailed explanation of the these options.

Documentation

When you select the documentation option from the Toolbox overlay, you will first see the Documentation overlay which allows you to select between user or technical documentation. Once you have entered your documentation, you are returned to the Domains screen.

Security

The security option allows you to identify the APPX security code to which a user must have rights in order to access the domain. The security code must be four numeric characters. If blank, there are no restrictions.

Fields/Domains Cross Reference

The Fields/Domains cross-reference option enables you to determine the location and frequency of a selected domain, file, field, application ID, process or ILF statement within a specific database.

Change ALL References

This feature tells APPX to find and replace all references to a certain domain in an application.

View Audit Info

This feature allows you to see who created the currently selected inquiry process and who changed the currently selected inquiry process most recently. It also gives the date of creation and the date it was last changed. Note that this option (Option 98), like any option with a value of 90 or greater, is available for use from any screen in Application Design without having to go to the Toolbox.

Invoke a Process

This feature is available to facilitate testing. It allows you to invoke any process; the currently selected inquiry process using the Test Database defined in system administration is the default. Note that this option (Option 99), like any option with a value of 90 or greater, is available for use from any screen in Application Design without having to go to the Toolbox.
