Update a setting within an area

Applies to User Roles:

System Administrator

Once you create a setting for an area, you can update the definition of the setting or delete it. You can also edit any labels that have been localized.

When you add a new setting to an area, it is only inherited when you add a new role.

To edit a setting within an area, follow these steps:

  1. Click System Administration > Security > Areas.
  2. Add optional search criteria and then click Search.
  3. Click the area to update.
  4. Click Moreor the More Actions icon and then select Administration > Edit/Delete Setting.
  5. Select the setting to edit or delete.

  6. On the Edit Setting Info wizard, update the following:

    • Id: Uniquely identifies the setting so that it can be referenced programmatically.
    • Display Label: Defines a display label for the setting.
    • Description: Describes the setting.

    • Type: Select the type of data used by the setting to match the type of setting you are creating. For the type selections, the format of the field on the form depends on the type you select. For example, if you choose boolean, then the setting displays a check box and if you select record, the setting displays as a text field. When you select some of the types, the system prompts you for additional information. For example:

      • If you select Record, you are also prompted to specify the table and field name for the record.
      • If you select Manual List, you are prompted to provide a name-value pair to display in the list. You must also enter Display Type (Radio Button or Drop Down List).
      • If you select Global List, you are prompted to provide a Global List and Display Type for the Global List.

  7. Specify whether or not the setting is mandatory.

  8. Click Edit localized labels to update localized labels.
  9. For each language available, you can localize the label text. After you localize the text, click Save and then OK to return to the wizard.
  10. Click Next.
  11. As an option, you can add or edit a validation script for the setting in Adding Settings Validation.
  12. Click Finish.
