Setting Up and Using Column Versions
When you finish setting up the Job Cost Inquiry form with the columns that you want, you can save the columns specified in a version. You can select up to 20 columns to appear on the form and save in a version, and you can save as many versions as you want. When you have a version saved, you enter that version into the Column Version field on the Job Status Inquiry form, and the system displays the columns specified. You create column versions by selecting Save Columns either directly from the Job Status Inquiry form or from the Form menu on the form.Job Status Inquiry form. When you save a version, the system displays an additional form that you use to name the version. The system stores versions by user ID.
Although you must specify columns for this program, you do not have to save them as versions. When you exit the job status inquiry program, the system automatically saves the columns that you set up as a column version and assigns it the user ID. When you access the program again, the system automatically uses the version that it saved for the user ID, unless you enter another column version. Using column versions, set up several inquiry formats that are interchangeable. Because you can modify column versions, using the feature is not a disadvantage. Column versions are also used by the progress entry programs.
To revise the columns in an existing version, you remove the columns from the column selection on the Job Status Inquiry form and save the version. You do not need to rename the version to revise it; however, you can use an existing version to create another version, that you can modify. To delete a column version, you must use the Column Versions - User Overrides program (P98950). Because this program is used by several systems, you must enter the program number for the P512000 in the Application field to display the correct versions, and then click Delete.
