System Module Maintenance

The foundation of the QAD CSS user interface is HTML pages. QAD CSS refers to these HTML pages as modules. The appearance and behavior of each HTML page/module depends on the attributes defined in System Module Maintenance. Attributes of a QAD CSS module can include JavaScript functions, security settings, screen elements, and business rules.

The first step when creating a HTML page in QAD CSS is to add and create definitions in System Module Maintenance. During the development process, the developer can return to System Module Maintenance to add, modify, or remove attributes of the new page.

Important: Every page used in QAD CSS must be registered. Not all pages are accessible from the menu. Ensure that you activate the On Menu attribute when adding a module accessible from the QAD CSS menu system.

Administrators may need to access System Module Maintenance during the application of patches or when expanding the capabilities of QAD CSS with additional product modules such as the QAD CSS credit card processing module.

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

Clicking the System Module Maintenance menu option displays the screen in System Module Maintenance.
