Creating templates

A template contains common data for a group of users. In these templates, you can define the non-role-dependent authorizations for a group of normal users. You can also specify additional template parameters that a group of users share.

Templates provide the system administrator with an efficient method to define user data and additional parameters that are required for groups of LN users.

Prerequisites

To create templates:

  • The functions in the company must be defined.
  • The required system data, development parameters, text parameters, and so on must be defined for the employees.

Procedure introduction (User Data template)

The User Data template is used as an example. The procedure is representative for most templates in LN ’s Authorization Management System (AMS). You can convert changes to the template to the runtime data dictionary. On the appropriate menu in these sessions, click Convert to Runtime DD to start the session. For a detailed description of this session, see the session's online help.

When the template data has changed, conversion indicators are automatically set for all individual LN users who are linked to the templates. The user data is only converted to LN ’s runtime data dictionary if the data in the templates has changed. The conversion is, therefore, only performed when necessary.
