Defining Context-Sensitive Zones

A context-sensitive zone allows you to associate a zone with a specific user-interface transaction. A context-sensitive zone appears at the top of the Dashboard when a user accesses a page for which the zone is specified as the context. For example, if you create an Account Characteristics zone and add it as a context-sensitive zone to the Account Maintenance page it appears in the Dashboard whenever a user accesses the Account Maintenance page.

CAUTION:

Make sure that the zone is appropriate for the transaction on which you are specifying it. For example, if your zone requires an account ID as one of its keys, you would not display it on the Meter Read transaction.

Select Admin Menu > Context Sensitive Zone to maintain context-sensitive zones.

Description of Page

The Navigation Key is a unique identifier of a tab page within the system. Owner indicates if this navigation key is owned by the base package or by your implementation ( Customer Modification).

CAUTION:

Important! When introducing a new context sensitive zone, carefully consider its naming convention. Refer to System Data Naming Convention for more information.

The grid contains the list of context-sensitive zones and the sequence in which they appear in the dashboard for the selected navigation key. The grid contains the following fields:

Zone is the name of the zone to display in the Dashboard.
Sequence is the sequence in which the zone is displayed (if multiple context-sensitive zones are defined).
Owner indicates if this context sensitive zone is owned by the base package or by your implementation ( Customer Modification).

Where Used
