Disabling Date Synchronization

In certain views that have more than one applet displaying a date range, the following behaviors occur:

• The date range is controlled by the uppermost applet that has a date range. When the start date of the upper applet changes, the first date of the lower applet changes to be in sync, when the start date is changed by the following user actions:
  • Entering a start date and then clicking Go or Search
  • Using the arrow buttons in the upper part of the applet

    An exception to this behavior occurs if the upper applet has a horizontal bar and if that bar is moved. In this case, the dates in the lower applet do not change.

• When the date range on the lower applets is changed, the date range of the upper applet is not affected.

To allow the flexibility to configure Siebel Hospitality to the business model of your company, you can disable these behaviors, either in all views at once or in selected views.

This topic addresses the following subjects:

• Disabling Date Synchronization in All Views
• Disabling Date Synchronization in Selected Views

This task is a step in Roadmap for Setting Up Siebel Hospitality.

Disabling Date Synchronization in All Views

By default, date synchronization is enabled. The ACR575 - GRC system preference variable allows you to disable this functionality in all applicable views at once. The possible values of this user property are as follows:

• Y. Default setting. Enables date synchronization.
• N. Disables date synchronization.

To disable date synchronization, follow this procedure.

To disable date synchronization in all views

• Set the ACR575 - GRC system preference to N.

For information about changing system preferences, see the chapter on ongoing administration tasks in Siebel Applications Administration Guide.

Disabling Date Synchronization in Selected Views

If the ACR575 - GRC system preference is set to Y, then date synchronization is enabled in all applicable views. If you want date synchronization enabled in some but not all applicable views, then you can disable this functionality in one or more specific views.

To disable date synchronization in selected views

1. Start your Siebel application and verify that the ACR575 - GRC system preference is set to Y.

   For information about determining the settings of system preferences, see the chapter on ongoing administration tasks in Siebel Applications Administration Guide.

2. Start Siebel Tools.
3. Query for the business component for the UI view in which you want to disable date synchronization.

   Views with date synchronization and their business components are listed in the following table.

   Screen	View	Business Component
   Property	Total Availability	TNT SHM SR Total Avail Dync
   Property	Group Projected / Blocked	TNT SHM Property Projected/Blocked
   Function Space Diary	Total Availability	TNT SHM Gantt AX Date Time Interval PopUp VBC

4. In the business component, search for the GRC View:(UI ViewName) user property.
5. Change the value of the GRC View:(UI ViewName) user property to FALSE.
6. Compile the SRF file used by your Siebel application.
