Table 1. Application Setting Options
| Application Setting Option | Description |
|---|---|
| System Code | Specifies the target system that you integrate with FDM. Each target-system integration adapter requires a target-system cache. One FDM application can be associated to an unlimited number of target applications. |
| Log Map Changes | When selected, specifies that all changes made to the mapping table, for any location, are written to the system log. Thus, users can maintain an audit trail of mapping changes. The default value is On. |
| Batch Loader | Controls access to Batch Loader. |
| Archive Method | Specifies whether archived files are copied or moved to the archive location. |
| Controls Lock | Used with the Financial Controls functionality of FDM. See Setting Up Financial Controls for details. |
| Controls w/o Data | Used with the Financial Controls functionality of FDM. See Setting Up Financial Controls for details. |
| Controls Unsubmit | Used with the Financial Controls functionality of FDM. See Setting Up Financial Controls for details. |
| Fiscal Start Period | Relates to the Financial Controls functionality of FDM. See Setting Up Financial Controls for details. |
| Period Key Date Format Mask | Used to set the date format of the FDM Periods description field. All subsequent FDM periods created adhere to the format specified for this option. The default value is MMM-YYYY. |
| Create Location Folder | Determines, when FDM locations are created, whether FDM creates a location directory in the Inbox. Options are Data Load, All, or None. |
| Delete Location Folder | Determines, when FDM locations are deleted, whether FDM deletes the location directories from the Inbox. |
| Memo Item Filter With Category and Period | Select 0–None to allow memo and audit attachments added in any category or period to be displayed in all categories and periods in Process Explorer for that location. Select 1–Category_Period so that memos and audit attachments will only be displayed in the category and period POV in which they were added. |
