Configuring the Do Not Move Flag


When booking function spaces, users can specify that the function cannot be moved afterwards by other users (except administrators). For example, in the Quotes screen, Functions view, the Do Not Move Flag check box can be selected by users to restrict the movement of the function. For more information on using the Do Not Move Flag check box, see Preventing Functions from Being Moved.

The administrator can control the effects of users selecting the Do Not Move Flag check box by configuring the appropriate field in Siebel Tools. To configure the Do Not Move Flag check box, perform the steps in the following procedure.

This task is a step in Process of Setting Up Function Spaces.
