Business Block Options

The Business Block Options menu consolidates menu options available to regular Business Blocks in one screen. However, because the Business Block Options menu can be accessed from various types of Business Blocks (i.e. Master and Sub-Allocations or Master and Sub-Blocks), some options may not appear depending upon from where this menu is selected. For this reason, the Options Menu for each type of Business Block will be detailed individually.

Note: For information related specifically to SFA Business Block Options, refer to Business Block Options in SFA.

Note: When the General> Enhanced Options Management application parameter is set to Y, you have another way of quickly accessing options without selecting the Options button to open the Options menu itself, from the Business Block Search screen or from the Business Block screen. You can press Ctrl+T to display the blue Option field.

To view all the available options in alphabetical order, scroll through the options list by selecting the Up and Down arrow keys. Press Enter to select the displayed option and open the corresponding option screen. Or, instead of scrolling through the options list, type the first three letters of the desired option. The corresponding options screen appears. (For example, type c-a-n for Cancel.)

You may also enter the first letter of the desired option and all options beginning with that letter will appear in alphabetical order as you scroll. To scroll, use the arrow keys or repeatedly press the beginning letter key. For example, if you typed a-a-a-a you might scroll through the options of Accompanying, Add on, Agent/Company, Alerts. Press Enter to open the desired option.
