Templates

Accountants Enterprise only

The system maintains descriptions for each of the supported application ledger types. Each application ledger description is stored in a template that is automatically added when the application is installed.

Each template represents a base or master copy of ledger requirements. You then add, or adjust this template to define the specific structure of the selected ledger. To create a new ledger, you must have the required templates as a starting point.

Template maintenance allows you view templates and alter the default page setup or menu level security (MLS) table.

To view templates, click Manage > Templates.

The Template window lists installed application ledger templates on two tabs:

Database tab: The Database tab is updated as each application is installed:

• SR DAL enabled: this will be checked if the application supports SQL.

• Rebuild enabled: this will be checked if the application runs in CFS.

 General tab: The General tab provides general information on the template:

• Type: The application type for the selected template is displayed. For example, CDS represents Central Database.

• Name: Displays the name given to the template by the system.

• Platform: When ticked, this checkbox indicates that the selected template is a Cheetah File System application.

• Application code: Displays the header file used for this template.

• Version: Refers to the Cheetah file version. This field should not be edited.

• Files: Displays the external and internal files used by this template. This information can be viewed in the header file using Notepad.

• Command: An external procedure provided by Support can be entered here.
