Publishing UDOs

You can request to publish or share a UDO. Your administrator grants you permission to publish UDOs. If you do not see the Request to Publish icon in the UDO manager panel for a specific UDO, then you do not have permissions to publish, share or reserve that UDO type.

If you do not wish to publish your changes, you can save the UDO as personal.

To publish UDO changes, access the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne web client:

1. Create and save your UDO.

   When you save your content, you have your own personal copy of the UDO in the Personal category in the Name drop-down list and only you can view it. Also, the Request to Publish icon is enabled.

   Note: The Request to Publish icon is not enabled if you do not have the required permissions.

2. Click the Request to Publish icon.

   When you click Request to Publish, the system sends a confirmation message to verify that you do want to publish the UDO. The confirmation message also provides an opportunity for you to add notes for the approver.

3. Click OK on the confirmation message to move the UDO to Pending Approval status.

   If you click Cancel on the confirmation message, you can make changes to the UDO, save it, and then request it to be published.

   Note: The confirmation message is displayed based on the settings in the Object Management Setup application (P98230).

   The approver can approve or reject your request by accessing User Defined Objects Administration application from User Defined Object Tools.
