URL or UNC Path to Eclipse Help

For each branch, enter the URL or UNC path to the location on your server that contains the Eclipse online help files. More:

Options	The URL or UNC path in your network that contains the Eclipse help.
Outcome of setting this control record	Tells the system where the Eclipse help system is installed.
Default Value(s)	None. However, this record is typically set for you during your installation or upgrade.
Example(s)	http://<ip_address>/Eclipse-Help/CHUI/!SSL!/WebHelp/MasterProject.htm Typically, this is the path to your Eclipse help. The only portion of this that changes is the IP address, which is specific to your site.
Action if set to Null	When you press F11 to view the online help from screens in Eterm, the help does not display.
Additional Information	Each branch can access Eclipse help either through a web server (URL) or through a share on a local server (UNC). We recommend setting up your branches to view Eclipse help from a web server, if possible, because it requires no additional permissions setup and displays the help topics faster than from a share on a local server. For optimal viewing, we recommend using Microsoft Internet Explorer to view the help. The help is viewable in Firefox, however, formatting may not display as intended.

URL or UNC Path to Solar Eclipse Web Help

For each branch, enter the URL or UNC path to the location on your server that contains the Solar Eclipse online help files. More:

Options	The URL or UNC path in your network that contains the Solar Eclipse help.
Outcome of setting this control record	Tells the system where the Solar Eclipse help system is installed.
Default Value(s)	None. However, this record is typically set for you during your installation or upgrade.
Example(s)	http://<ip_address>/Eclipse-Help/Solar/!SSL!/WebHelp/MasterProject.htm Typically, this is the path to your Eclipse help. The only portion of this that changes is the IP address, which is specific to your site.
Action if set to Null	When you press F1 or F11, or use the Help menu from a window to view the online help from screens in Solar Eclipse, the help does not display.
Additional Information	Each branch can access Solar Eclipse help either through a web server (URL) or through a share on a local server (UNC). We recommend setting up your branches to view Solar Eclipse help from a web server, if possible, because it requires no additional permissions setup and displays the help topics faster than from a share on a local server. For optimal viewing, we recommend using Microsoft Internet Explorer to view the help. The help is viewable in Firefox, however, formatting may not display as intended.

Use Future Price Sheet If No Current Price Sheet Is Found

Indicate if you want the system to use a price sheet with a future date earlier, only if the current price sheet is not found. More

Options	Never - The system ignores future price sheets. This is the default. Always - The system uses a future price sheet value if the price date is earlier than the first price sheet value and no current price sheet is found. Matrix Price Date - If the price date is being overridden directly from the matrix cell, and if that date is prior to the first entry on the current price sheet, then the system uses the first (future) value on the price sheet. All other situations will behave as though the control maintenance record is set to Never.
Outcome of setting this control record	See above.
Default Value(s)	Never.
Action if set to Null	Same as Never.
