Adding a System Module Entry The Add function of System Module Maintenance lets an administrator add custom system module documents and associate them with specific QAD CSS pages. To create an entry: 1 Click Add in the navigation window to display the edit screen in Add mode. 2 Enter data into the appropriate fields. 3 Click Add in the edit window to save the record. Detail System Module Maintenance Module Name Specify the unique name for this menu item. This is the module code relative to the QAD CSS installation directory followed by the HTML file name. Module Label Specify the external label for this module. This text is typically displayed on the navigation menu. The module label also serves as the default menu name in Menu Maintenance. Module Description Specify a brief, meaningful functional description of the module. This text is the default Menu Description in Menu Maintenance. Alt Text Mouse hover text in header bar. Page Title Specify the text displayed in the browser title bar for this page. Parent Page If this page is part of a series and is not the first page, specify the first page as the parent. This field is typically used in B2C implementations when a user does not always have a valid login session. In this case, if a user has bookmarked a page that requires login and attempts to return it, you may need to redirect them to the page’s parent. In this situation, if a parent page is not defined, the user is returned to the default home page as defined in System Control Maintenance. When a page is not a part of a series, you can specify the module name here. Login Required Choose the class of users that can access this module. Users are associated with a specific class in User Maintenance. These classes are: Blank: No one can access this module. All (*): Everyone can access this module. Customer: Only users associated with the Customer class can access this module. Vendor: Only users associated with the Vendor class can access this module. Internal: Only users associated with the Internal class can access this module. Note: Currently, QAD CSS users belong to the customer class by default. Session Required Select this option when you do not want this page to be directly accessed as the first page without a valid session ID. When this option is not selected, the page can be directly accessed as the first page served; for example, accessed by a bookmark. On Menu Select this option when you want the module to be available to be added to the QAD CSS menu in Menu Maintenance. HTTPS Secure Indicate if secure processing should be used for this page. Note: To implement this setting, SSL must be set up on your Web server. Otherwise, an error displays during processing. Security Required Select this option when you want the module to be accessible only to users belonging to specific security groups. Then choose the user groups from the list below this field. When this option is not selected, any user can access it. Security Group When the Security Required option is selected, choose the user groups that you want to access the module. Clicking a command button executes one of the following actions: • Add saves the new record to the database. All required fields—indicated by alternate field color—must be populated prior to saving a record. Before saving, the system verifies that the record is unique and displays an error if it is not. • Cancel closes the window without adding the record.
