Order view elements are version-controlled. After you update an element, the system opens the element record to your user ID. You can then revise or undo your changes. Once you are satisfied with the changes you made, close the element record. The system maintains a log of each new version of the element definition and who made the changes.
To edit an order entry view element:
From the Tools menu, select Order View Element Maint to display the Order View Element Maintenance screen.
In the ID field, press F10 and select the order view element you want to edit.
Edit the view element as needed.
See Creating Order Entry View Elements for field descriptions.
Press Esc to save the updated element and display the Program Change Log Entry screen.
This screen displays the name of the file and element updated, along with your user ID, the current date and time, and the view's version number incremented by one.
Complete the screen as follows:
In the Comment field, enter a comment describing the changes you made.
In the Actv Log # field, enter the number of the tracker that prompted the change.
If necessary, press Shift-F4 and create a tracker assigned to your user ID.
Press Esc to exit this screen and return to the User Defined Order Entry Views screen.
Though not displayed, the updated order entry view is now open to your user ID. Other users can view the record, but they cannot edit the record until you close it.
Display the updated order view element record again.
The screen shows that it is open to your user ID and displays the new version number followed by a modification number. Each time you modify the element while it is open to your user ID, the system increments the modification number.
Do one of the following:
Make additional changes to the displayed record and press Esc. Then return to step 6.
The system displays a blank Order View Element Maintenance screen; it does not display the Program Change Log Entry screen again. When you display the updated view again, note that the modification number following the version number is incremented by one. This indicates the number of modifications you have made to this screen while it has been open to your user ID.
If you are satisfied and finished with the changes you made, use the Close hot key.
The system releases the displayed element record from its open status and makes an entry in the change log for this new version of the element definition. Use the Log hot key to view the log entries.
If you are not satisfied with the changes you made, use the Undo hot key. Then return to step 6.
If the new version contains just one modification, the system displays a prompt similar to the following:
Undo Ver # 14 for OE.VIEWS~BBGUN1 (Y/N) : N
Type Y to undo the changes you made in the new version or type N to exit the prompt.
If the new version contains more than one modification, the system displays a prompt similar to the following:
Undo OE.VIEWS~BBGUN1 - Ver#14/Mod#14[2]/Nothing ? (V/M/N) : N
Type V to undo all of the changes in the new version, type M to undo only the most recent modification in the new version, or type N to exit the prompt. When you undo a complete version, the view record is no longer open to your user ID.
