Defining Business Units and TableSet Controls

To define tablesets, use the TableSet ID (SETID_TABLE) component.

This topic provides an overview of the TableSet control setup process and lists the pages used to define TableSet controls.

TableSet Control Page

SET_CNTRL_TABLE1

Review and modify a business unit's TableSet control (which setID is used for which record group).

Record Group Page

REC_GROUP_TABLE

Review the records that are included in a record group.

When you create a new business unit, the system creates a setID with the same name as the business unit. The newly created TableSet control associates all record groups with that setID. This is a convenient shortcut when you have multiple business units with identical or similar TableSet controls.

This diagram illustrates the TableSet control setup process.

TableSet control setup process

To define a business unit's TableSet control:

  1. Create the business unit on the appropriate application-specific page.

    The system creates a default setID corresponding to the business unit name.

    If the business unit uses only its default setID, you are finished; continue to the next step only if the business unit uses setIDs that are other than its defaults.

  2. Use the TableSet Control page to create additional setIDs.

  3. Use the Record Group page (in the TableSet Control component) to map setIDs to record groups.

If necessary, use the Record Group page (in the Record Group component) to review which records are in each record group.

In addition to setting up business units and setIDs, you must set up appropriate security.

See Understanding PeopleSoft CRM Security.

Note: The pages where you set up and review setIDs, record groups, and TableSet controls are part of PeopleTools. Because PeopleTools supports TableSet controls based on attributes other than business unit, the PeopleTools documentation uses the generic term set control field.

You can use either a business unit or a setID to set up PeopleSoft CRM TableSet controls. For example, if you are in the product component (in which case, the underlying record is keyed by setID) and you prompt on a field that is also keyed by setID, PeopleTools actually looks for the setID of the prompt record by passing in the product setID.

Since PeopleTools doesn't always use business unit, it is important that you set up both the setID and the business unit.
