Changing System Control Settings<br />
56 • <strong>SDM</strong>-<strong>DesignTracker</strong> <strong>5.0</strong> <strong>User</strong> <strong>Guide</strong><br />
The System Control Setting function allows you to establish system-wide defaults<br />
and control parameters best suited for your individual processing needs.<br />
The system control settings define to <strong>SDM</strong>-<strong>DesignTracker</strong> what applications are<br />
installed. This function also sets up the initial defaults, required entries, and<br />
validation rules for the entries.<br />
This is a required function typically performed by <strong>SDM</strong>-<strong>DesignTracker</strong> System<br />
Administrator at the end of setup.<br />
<strong>SDM</strong>-<strong>DesignTracker</strong> must be installed. If <strong>SDM</strong>-Implementer, <strong>SDM</strong>-SupportCenter,<br />
and <strong>SDM</strong>-ProjectMaster are to be used, they too must be installed. Type codes, status<br />
codes, and priority codes must also exist.<br />
To change system control settings:<br />
1. From the <strong>SDM</strong>-<strong>DesignTracker</strong> main menu, type option 20 to display<br />
the Setup Menu.<br />
2. From the Setup Menu, type option 21 and press ENTER to display the<br />
Change System Control Settings panel.<br />
This option can also be accessed by using the Work with System<br />
Control Settings command DTMNTSC.<br />
3. System Control is divided into four sections:<br />
Applications installed: Select <strong>SDM</strong>-Implementer, <strong>SDM</strong>-<br />
SupportCenter, or <strong>SDM</strong>-ProjectMaster by typing 1.<br />
Initial settings: These settings determine defaults for service<br />
requests and design requests. The type, status, and priorities must<br />
exist before you can be select or use them.<br />
Validation rules: The validation rules determine what information<br />
is required for service requests and design requests, and also allows<br />
for validation of setup defaults.<br />
International information: This is used to determine the domestic<br />
currency for all cost fields (for example, USD - United States<br />
Dollars).<br />
4. Select the appropriate defaults. Major changes would be to set the<br />
correct flags for the installed applications, and to change the status set<br />
at approval to what your company requires.<br />
5. The defaults for the validation rules require validation for the specified<br />
entries, but not that the entries are required. Therefore, the only<br />
required entry for a service request or a design request is the request<br />
title.<br />
6. Press ENTER to process your entries.<br />
7. Press F3=Exit or F12=Cancel to redisplay the main menu without<br />
processing your changes.
