This screen displays the current status of all functions defined within the process that was being worked on from the process definition menu.
The screen is presented as a "wrap up screen" when you have completed the specification of a new process or reviewed/changed an existing process. Details presented include:
- The name and description of every function defined in the process.
- A "currently usable" indicator. If this is set to YES then the function is currently in a usable state and can be executed whenever desired. If this is set to NO then some action(s) will have to be taken before attempting to execute the function. Usually the actions required are detailed in the associated messages section.
- Message(s) that indicate changes made to the function and any action(s) that are required before the function can be used again.
On the example screen shown it can be seen that functions BRWCUST and ADDORD have had their associated RDML programs modified. As such they must be re-compiled before they can be used. Functions ADDCUST and BRWORD have not been changed at all and can still be used.
