This screen allows the System Administrator to change the description of a screen, report or link in the M5 system. It is also used to add new frames and reports. Normally the System Administrator will not need to make changes to this screen and it is recommended that these settings be left with the default values.
When M5 is upgraded for a patch or a new release, a process called Run M5 Objects updates the Frame Maintenance screen with all new frames and reports. There is an option in this Object update that restores the frame descriptions to the M5 default values.
If it is necessary to edit a particular frame, follow the steps below to ensure a successful edit. Again, only edit frames when it is absolutely necessary and proceed with extreme caution.
Double-click in the URL field to view the list of valid URL’s. Double click on the frame you want to edit to load the data.
The Type choices in the drop down menu are: Frame, Report and Link. The link option allows the user to add this link to a menu.
Use the Audit feature with great caution as it will journal every detail and may cause performance issues within the database.
Prohibited on Menu, if set to 'Yes', will not allow the frame to be added to a menu.
Use the Disabled Flag to disable this frame.
The Description can be changed as needed. The description will also change for the frame on the menu, frame and report title.
The Help URL is the link to the help document for this screen.
The Authorized with URL has to do with frames within frames. For example, Work Order Main displays frames for Standard jobs and Warranty. Those frames are not authorized to be located on a menu but associated to the Work Order Main URL.
Component Name is the main DB component behind the scenes.
Sticky field is hard coded and used to identify the value used when OTHER frames are calling that frame, not when navigating to it directly.
Dept. Access Function – If you are using DAF (Department Access Function) security, then enter the security function that this frame is to take on. Please review the DAF Security functionality in the Resource File System Administrator User Guide for further assistance.
Added in Version – this indicates what release this frame was added.
Click Save to update the Frame records.
