Statuses

A status can be linked to a model item; it identifies a stage in the development of that model item and is used to:

  • Monitor the development progress of a model item.
  • Authorize users for the combination of a model item and a status.
Statuses by Model Item (tgbrg5107m000)

Start the Statuses by Model Item (tgbrg5107m000) session, to link self-defined statuses to these model items:

  • Business Function
  • Business Process
  • Business Control Model
  • Data Model
  • Enterprise Structure Model
  • Wizard

A status displays the current phase of a model item. To update the status of a range of model items, use the Update Status of Model Items (tgbrg5207m000) session.

Note

A model item can only be given a status if the sequence number directly precedes, or succeeds, the sequence number of the status currently linked to the model item.

To define a status:

  • Click New.
  • Click New Group.
  • In the Model Item field, select the model item for which you want to define or change a status.
  • Specify a name or number to give to the status in the Workflow Status field.
  • In the Sequence field, specify a sequence number to identify the status.
  • Click Save.
Update Status of Model Items (tgbrg5207m000)

Use the Update Status of Model Items (tgbrg5207m000) session, to change the status of a range of model items in your current modeling version.

You can assign any status listed in the Statuses by Model Item (tgbrg5107m000) session. You can also change the authorization for the model items.

Note

Before you start the session, you must supply, in capital letters, the default password: BAAN or DEM

To change the statuses of a different range of model items:

  • Select the range of model items and their new status on the Selections 1 and Selections 2 tab.
  • In the Update specific authorization to group box, select the new authorization for the selected ranges of model items on the appropriate tab.
  • Click Update Statuses

Select the Include Previous Versions check box, to update the statuses of model items that occur in versions from which the current modeling version is derived.

Users by Status by Model Item (tgbrg5108m000)

To start the Users by Status by Model Item (tgbrg5108m000) session:

  • Go to of the Statuses by Model Item (tgbrg5107m000) session.
  • Select the appropriate menu.
  • Click Users by Status by EM Component, or Users by Status by Model Item (tgbrg5108m000).

Assign LN users or tools roles to a combination of a model item and a status. Authorization by status is given to LN users to prevent unauthorized users from changing model items being developed.

To assign an LN user, or tools role, to a combination of a status and a model item:

  • In the Statuses by Model Item (tgbrg5107m000) session, select the combination of a model item and a status.
  • Start the current session.
  • Click New
  • Select an LN user or a tools role in the User field to link to the combination of the selected status and model item.
  • Click Save.

If you do not specify LN users for the previously mentioned combination, every LN user is authorized for that model item/status-combination. Provided that this LN user has the correct version authorization.

Parameters (tgbrg9100m000)
  • Use the Parameters (tgbrg9100m000) session to store the parameters that can be used in business models. This determines the working of the LN sessions used in activities of type application in the business processes.
  • The values of the parameters are set or changed in the Values by Parameter, Company, and Model (tgbrg9110m000) session. This session can only be started in a project model or reference model.
  • On the appropriate menu, select Parameter Help to access the Help information of a specific parameter.
  • Use the Print Where-Used Parameters session to find out where certain parameters are used.
Import Parameter Table (tgbrg9200m000)

With the Import Parameter Table (tgbrg9200m000) session, you can automatically import parameters from the LN application database into the Parameters (tgbrg9100m000) session.

To start this session:

  • Go to the Parameters (tgbrg9100m000) session.
  • Select the appropriate menu.
  • Click Import Parameter Table (tgbrg9200m000).

The Parameters (tgbrg9100m000) session functions as a temporary buffer after you have imported the parameters from the Tools parameter table.

By using this session, you do not need to insert each parameter separately. You can specify a range of packages and modules and the parameters to import.

To import a range of parameters:

  • In the Package field and Module field, select the range of packages and modules for the parameters you want to import.
  • In the Sequence Settings group box, define the sequence numbers for the imported parameters.
  • Click Import.

Select the Overwrite Current Sequence check box to replace the parameters, that are present in the Parameters (tgbrg9100m000) session, by the newly imported parameters.

AO Documents (tgbrg8100m000)

To define references to existing AO documents that contain formal administrative organization rules about the execution of processes, use the AO Documents (tgbrg8100m000) session.

Because you can activate the text editor to create or modify a Help text for each AO document, you can view the Help text related to a document when you carry out a business process to which the AO document is linked.

The AO Documents (tgbrg8100m000) session is used to store help texts related to the use of the AO documents; it is not used to store the actual AO documents.
