Data Source Maintenance

The Data Source Maintenance function lets administrators define the valid domains that can be associated with users and items. Each domain represents a single business operation with distinct operational requirements and settings. While a QAD EA database can have any number of domains, you may want to place orders through QAD CSS that affect only a subset of these domains.

The menu location of Data Source Maintenance is Home Menu|Administration Menu|System Control Menu|Data Source Maintenance.

Clicking the Data Source Maintenance menu option displays the screen in Data Source Maintenance.
