A work zone key helps you identify a work zone with a short name. The work zones that you
create are automatically assigned with the key or convention that you define in the
Work Zone Key dialog box. By default, ZIP/Postal Code is the work zone
key in the application. Work Zones must maintain unique keys, regardless of the Organization
they belong to. This means that even if two Work Zones are related to different Organizations,
they can't share the same key.
-
Make sure that the User Type you're associated with has Read-write access to the
Business Rules page.
- Click Configuration.
- In the General section, click Work Zones.
-
Click the Edit icon next to Work Zone Key in the header
area.
The Work Zone Key dialog box appears.
-
To retain ZIP/Postal Code as the key and just change the length of the key, change the
number in the Length field. In the next field, select whether you
want the entire key as case insensitive, or just the first letter.
- Click OK.
The existing work zone keys are edited to conform to the new configuration.
-
To add a new field as the key, click the plus icon in the Work Zone
Key dialog box.
The list of fields available in the application is displayed in alphabetical order.
- Select a field of your choice and click Add.
The newly added field is displayed in the Work Zone Key dialog
box.
- Add the length of the key in the Length field. In the next field, select whether you want the entire key
as case insensitive, or just the first letter.
If you've selected multiple fields (a combination of fields), you must add the
length of the key for each field. If the value of the field or property is lower than the
length, the application populates the remaining length with 'space' characters. This is
done for all the fields and properties the Work Zone is built from.
When the application
creates a Work Zone key from all the fields and properties, it trims the Work Zone key
and removes all the spaces from the right to the left until the first non-space
character is met.
- Click OK.
The modifications are applied to the existing work zone keys. If the key size exceeds 50
characters, it's truncated to 50.
