Preventing Update to OTHER Discrepancies

Only RDC uses the DISCREPANCY NO OTHER UPDATE installation codelist.

You can use the DISCREPANCY NO OTHER UPDATE codelist to specify which user roles do not have access to and cannot update discrepancies that appear to them with a status of OTHER.

By default, the DISCREPANCY NO OTHER UPDATE codelist has no values. All users can update discrepancies with a status of OTHER. To prevent users from updating OTHER discrepancies, you add one or more user roles to the codelist.

To prevent users with a particular role from updating OTHER discrepancies:

1. Open the DISCREPANCY NO OTHER UPDATE codelist.
2. Enter the role name in the Short Value field. The value you enter must be exactly the same as one of the long values in the USER GROUP ROLES reference codelist. For example, CRA, INV, or SITE.

   Caution:

   The system does not check the validity of your entries. You must be careful to specify only valid user roles. If the values do not match exactly, users with the role will still be able to update OTHER discrepancies.
3. Select the Active check box. An active entry indicates the user role cannot update OTHER discrepancies.
4. Save your changes.

The Seq, Long Value, Default, and Description fields are not used by RDC.

You can grant this privilege to any number of roles.

To allow the update of OTHER discrepancies for a role that you added to the DISCREPANCY NO OTHER UPDATE codelist, you can either:

• Delete the record by using the command on the Data menu.
• Make the value inactive by clearing its Active check box.
