• Section 13.1, "Creating a New Screen ID."

13.1 Creating a New Screen ID

You can create your own screen IDs in addition to the ASSET screen ID. A screen ID is used to group versions. For example, you might group versions by department or user group. Doing this reduces the number of versions on one screen ID. After you create your own screen ID, you can copy versions from another screen ID and attach the new screen ID to a menu as a selection.

Complete the following steps:

• To create a screen ID

• To copy versions from another screen ID

See Also:

• Defining Standard Selections in the JD Edwards World Technical Foundation Guide for information about attaching a screen ID to a menu.
